Requesting code review
Dispatches a reviewer with fresh context, so the review is not done by the model that just wrote the code.
Installation
$ npx skills add obra/superpowersThe CLI's unit is the repository, so this installs everything in obra/superpowers, not requesting-code-review alone. It writes into whichever agent directories it finds — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Zed.
Summary
Dispatches a reviewer with fresh context, so the review is not done by the model that just wrote the code.
- Reach for it when before you open the PR — a self-review from the authoring context finds almost nothing.
- Sits in Review — reading a diff critically, and the far harder skill of acting on what a reviewer said.
- 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.
