A structured software development methodology skill pack for OpenClaw, forked from obra/superpowers.
A set of composable skills that give OpenClaw agents a disciplined development workflow: brainstorming → planning → TDD → execution → review → verification.
Skills trigger automatically via OpenClaw's description matching — no manual invocation needed.
Link each skill into your OpenClaw skills directory:
# Link all superpowers skills
SUPERPOWERS=/path/to/superpowers/skills
for skill in "$SUPERPOWERS"/*/; do
ln -sf "$skill" ~/.openclaw/skills/$(basename "$skill")
doneSkills can also be placed in a project's .openclaw/skills/ directory.
Note: OpenClaw expects skills directly under
~/.openclaw/skills/<name>/SKILL.md. A single parent symlink (e.g.,~/.openclaw/skills/superpowers → .../skills/) won't work because it nests the SKILL.md files one level too deep.
Skills marked with * have been adapted for OpenClaw.

This is a fork of obra/superpowers by Jesse Vincent.
The core methodology is upstream — this fork adapts the tooling integration for OpenClaw's
native skill system, sessions_spawn subagent dispatch, and beads task tracking.
