Superpowers 7.0 was released on the one-year anniversary of the project's initial public release, with a completely rebuilt brainstorming experience as its biggest change, according to creator Jesse V…
Simon Willison announced a Birds of a Feather session on agentic engineering in San Francisco on October 14th, co-hosted with Jesse Vincent, focused on informal show-and-tell among builders and experi…
A developer's controlled comparison of two AI debugging workflows found that an agent using the Superpowers systematic-debugging skill missed a real bug despite following a structured method, while Ex…
Jesse Vincent and the team at Prime Radiant released Superpowers, a plugin that packages a spec-driven development methodology into installable Claude Skills for coding agents. The plugin enforces bra…
Jesse Vincent reported that his agentic harness Evener, powered by GLM 5.2, autonomously developed a C compiler for ARM64 macOS in Swift that successfully compiled SQLite and passed a basic smoke test…
A solo developer describes treating AI coding agents as subcontractors in a workflow where agents operate in YOLO mode with two tokens: a read-only token on the production repository and a write token…
A developer has built autonomous agents that can work through the night, merging eleven pull requests and fixing complex issues without human intervention. The system, based on the MAST taxonomy and i…
Anthropic's Claude Code now offers dozens of skills and plugins, but installing too many can cause unpredictable behavior. A developer recommends six essential skills—superpowers, skill-creator, front…
Claude Code, which now accounts for roughly 4% of all public GitHub commits as of April 2026, suffers from a compliance gap where it can articulate best practices like test-driven development but skip…
Three AI coding workflow frameworks—Superpowers by Jesse Vincent, Agent Skills by Addy Osmani, and Matt Pocock's Skills—have emerged as leading approaches to encode engineering process into structured…
Jordan Herlein, a software engineering lead, argues that building custom AI agent harnesses is essential for learning but counterproductive for scaling, after building his own 'build-autonomous' loop …
Simon Willison reported that instructing Claude Code to delegate coding tasks to lower-power subagents using its own judgment significantly improved efficiency and reduced token usage. The approach, i…
Jesse Vincent released Superpowers, a software development methodology for coding agents that enforces a structured workflow of specification, design, and subagent-driven development. The tool is avai…
Jesse Vincent's Superpowers framework, which has amassed over 200,000 GitHub stars since its October 2025 release, uses a SessionStart hook to inject a meta-skill into every AI coding session, forcing…
