frameworks & methodologies

multi-skill systems that define how you work with agents. these aren't individual tools — they're development philosophies packaged as skills.

obra/superpowers

github.com/obra/superpowers — 147k+ stars. the leading agentic skills framework. defines the methodology many others follow.

skills included:

• test-driven-development — enforces TDD, 85-95% coverage
• systematic-debugging — structured debugging
• verification-before-completion — prevents premature task completion
• brainstorming — structured idea → design transformation (see communication-and-writing)
• writing-plans / executing-plans — plan creation and execution
• dispatching-parallel-agents — multi-agent parallelization
• requesting-code-review / receiving-code-review — two-stage review
• using-git-worktrees — isolated worktrees
• finishing-a-development-branch — branch completion workflow
• subagent-driven-development — subagent dispatch with review checkpoints
• root-cause-tracing — trace errors to their origin (see data-and-analysis)
• writing-skills / using-superpowers — meta-skills

why it's the best: consistently high quality, battle-tested by thousands, enforces good practices (TDD, code review, verification) rather than just adding capabilities. many individual skills appear in development and security.

also: superpowers-marketplace (821 stars) — curated plugin marketplace.
