Project Background and Core Concepts

With the rapid development of large language models in code generation, AI Coding Agents are becoming important tools for developers. However, ensuring that AI maintains systematicity, predictability, and high-quality output in complex software development tasks remains an urgent problem to solve. The sw-superpower project came into being; it is a structured skill set for AI coding assistants, aiming to encapsulate mature software engineering practices into reusable Agent skills.

This project is a Chinese localization adaptation of the obra/superpowers framework, fully retaining the essence of its methodology while adapting content for Chinese developers. The core concepts can be summarized as "Process-Driven" and "Rules First"—each skill defines clear trigger conditions and execution processes, and places unbreakable rules in the first priority.

Section 04

Core Development Process

  1. sw-brainstorming (Brainstorming & Design) : Transform vague ideas into complete design specification documents
  2. sw-writing-specs (Writing Implementation Plans) : Create detailed execution plans based on approved designs
  3. sw-subagent-development (Subagent-Driven Development) : Use subagents to execute independent tasks in parallel
  4. sw-test-driven-dev (Test-Driven Development) : Strictly implement the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle
  5. sw-requesting-code-review (Requesting Code Review) : Trigger the review process after task completion and before merging
  6. sw-receiving-code-review (Receiving Code Review Feedback) : Systematically handle external review comments
5

Section 05

Quality Assurance and Debugging

  1. sw-systematic-debugging (Systematic Debugging) : Structured problem troubleshooting methodology
  2. sw-verification-before-completion (Pre-Completion Verification) : Final check before marking a task as completed
  3. sw-finishing-branch (Finishing Branch) : Verify, decide, and clean up development branches
6

Section 06

Advanced Execution Modes

  1. sw-dispatching-parallel-agents (Parallel Agent Dispatching) : Concurrent execution for two or more independent tasks
  2. sw-executing-plans (Executing Plans) : Batch execute plans in the same session (without using subagents)
7

Section 07

Meta-Skills and System Guidance

  1. sw-using-superpowers (Using Superpowers) : Skill system guidance at the start of each conversation
  2. sw-writing-skills (Writing New Skills) : Meta-skill for creating and validating new skills
