Description
Enable or disable a strict engineering workflow for coding tasks enforcing goal clarification, specs, planning, test-driven small steps, and verification.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and low-risk: it only enforces a development workflow and stores a small mode file in agent memory. Before installing, consider: (1) the skill has no public homepage or source URL — if provenance matters to you, prefer skills with a visible maintainer; (2) the state file (memory/superpowers-mode.md) is persistent within the agent environment — if your agent shares memory across skills or sessions, check how that storage is protected; (3) the skill requests no credentials and performs no network or shell actions, so it cannot exfiltrate secrets on its own. If you’re comfortable with the unknown owner and agent memory usage, this skill is reasonable to enable.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: superpowers-mode Version: 1.0.1 The skill bundle defines a 'superpowers-mode' for the AI agent, instructing it to follow a structured engineering workflow for coding tasks. It manages its state in an internal `memory/superpowers-mode.md` file and provides templates for planning and specification. The `SKILL.md` instructions focus on self-regulation, risk review, and good development practices for the agent's own operations. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection designed to subvert the agent for harmful purposes. All content aligns with the stated purpose of improving the agent's workflow.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and instructions align: a workflow helper for coding tasks that toggles behavior and uses reference templates. There are no unrelated env vars, binaries, or installs. Note: the skill has no public homepage or source URL (owner is an ID only), which reduces transparency but does not create a technical mismatch.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays within scope: it reads/writes a single state file (memory/superpowers-mode.md), produces specs/plans, and restricts itself to coding/build/debug tasks. It does not request other files, credentials, or external endpoints. Note: it persists mode state in agent memory, which is expected behavior for a toggle.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — lowest-risk model (instruction-only). Nothing is downloaded or written to disk beyond the declared state file in agent memory.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The declared requirements are minimal and appropriate for the stated functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill writes a small state file to memory (enabled:true/false) and confirms changes; it does not require always:true and does not modify other skills or system settings. Autonomous model invocation is allowed by default (disable-model-invocation is false), which is normal for skills and not by itself a concern.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install superpowers-mode
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /superpowers-mode
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
