Executing plans
Works through a written plan step by step, checking off as it goes and stopping when a step does not hold.
Installation
$ npx skills add obra/superpowersThe CLI's unit is the repository, so this installs everything in obra/superpowers, not executing-plans alone. It writes into whichever agent directories it finds — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Zed.
Summary
Works through a written plan step by step, checking off as it goes and stopping when a step does not hold.
- Reach for it when you have a plan and want it executed in order, not reinterpreted halfway through.
- Sits in Implement — writing the change: framework-specific conventions, and the discipline that keeps a long agent run on the rails.
- Stack-agnostic — nothing in it assumes a particular language or framework.
- Published by Jesse Vincent. Well regarded, but not the vendor of the thing it covers.
- Installing pulls the whole obra/superpowers repository: this catalogue lists 13 other entries from it, and the repo may hold more.

The agent itself
The full text lives with its publisher and changes when they change it. Read it there rather than here — a mirrored copy of somebody else's procedure goes stale silently, and this page would have no way of telling you.
