A set of skills and a development workflow for Claude Code and other agents: brainstorm, write a plan, TDD, then dispatch subagents to implement and review.
Makes "plan before coding" a process agents follow automatically. One of the most installed skill packs of 2026.
InstallIn Claude Code, run /plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace, then /plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplaceAn MCP server that lets Claude Code, Cursor and similar tools fetch up-to-date official docs and examples for libraries, so AI writes fewer outdated APIs.
Set it up once, then add "use context7" to a prompt. Especially useful for fast-moving frameworks like Next.js and React.

Claude plugins & skills
Development kit for working with the Claude Agent SDK
C/C++ language server (clangd) for code intelligence
Analyze codebases and recommend tailored Claude Code automations such as hooks, skills, MCP servers, and subagents.
Tools to maintain and improve CLAUDE.md files - audit quality, capture session learnings, and keep project memory current.
Deep vulnerability scanning of your own code, run entirely inside your Claude Code session at a chosen effort tier, with every finding challenged before it is reported and the verification tally computed in code. Turns surviving findings into targeted patches, each verified by a panel of agents, that you apply when you choose.
Guided modernization for any legacy codebase: start with /modernize, get an assessment, an interactive map, the business rules mined from the code, and a plan you approve, then an upgrade, a rewrite or a rebuild with independent proof that the new code behaves like the old. Includes security hardening, a one-page report, specialist agents, and an optional live progress pane (early access).
