A Superpowers skill by Jesse Vincent and Prime Radiant for carrying out a written implementation plan through subagents.
What the skill teaches
A Superpowers skill by Jesse Vincent and Prime Radiant for carrying out a written implementation plan through subagents. The main agent acts as a coordinator: for each task it extracts a brief, sends it to a fresh implementer subagent with no shared history, then has a reviewer subagent judge the change for spec compliance and code quality, with up to a few fix rounds before unresolved findings are logged. Progress and decisions go into a ledger file, and helper scripts build task briefs and review packages from git. A final review covers the whole branch. It needs a client that can start subagents with a chosen model and resume them, plus git with worktrees.
Capabilities
- Hand each plan task to a fresh implementer subagent
- Review each task for spec compliance and quality
- Run fix rounds on review findings
- Keep a ledger that survives context compaction
- Review the whole branch at the end
