Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill superpowers-lab

01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads superpowers-lab automatically when relevant.
03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Superpowers Lab

When to Use

You want to evaluate an experimental workflow from the upstream Superpowers lab before adopting it.
You need a reproducible comparison of baseline behavior and a proposed skill.

Workflow

Select one experiment from the upstream lab. Read its instructions, status, prerequisites, and license before using it; this entry does not bundle the lab's experiments.
Define a small representative task, success criteria, time/cost limits, and the files/tools each run may access. Use disposable fixtures and no production credentials.
Record the baseline agent/tool configuration and run the task without the experimental skill. Capture outputs, observed failures, and validation results.
Review the experiment's complete content and any commands before loading it. Run the same task with the experimental skill in an isolated workspace under the same permissions and acceptance criteria.
Compare the actual outputs and failures. Separate observed improvements from subjective preferences; record changed model/tool settings as confounders.
Decide whether to retain, revise, or reject the experiment. Keep production adoption separate from the lab run, and include a rollback/removal plan if adoption is proposed.

Example

Compare one lab workflow against our baseline on a disposable bug-fix fixture. Report tests and failure modes without installing it globally.

Limitations

Experimental guidance is not a production guarantee. Do not infer compatibility or improvement without a controlled run.
The original experiment and its fixtures are external prerequisites; report unavailable materials.
Do not execute unreviewed scripts, expand permissions, or use private production data for the experiment.
