Claude Superpowers plugin questions, answered clearly.
Installation, verification, updates, scopes, security, and the difference between this site and the upstream Superpowers project.
What is Claude Superpowers?
Superpowers is an open-source agentic skills framework and software-development methodology. The Claude Code plugin packages skills for workflows including planning, TDD, debugging, collaboration, and review.
How do I install the Superpowers plugin in Claude Code?
Use claude plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official --scope user in a terminal, use /plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official inside Claude Code, or download the installer from this website.
Does the installer on this website contain the Superpowers plugin?
No. The downloadable installer is a small readable script. It asks your local Claude Code CLI to install Superpowers from the official Claude plugin marketplace.
Why can't the website install the plugin silently?
A normal browser page cannot and should not silently install local CLI software. The user must run the installer or command on their own computer.
What installation scope should I use?
Use user scope for a personal plugin available across projects. Project scope is useful when the project configuration should be shared. Local scope keeps the plugin limited to that local project configuration.
How do I verify Superpowers is installed?
Run claude plugin list, start a new Claude Code session, then use a task that should trigger a relevant workflow, such as feature planning or systematic debugging.
How do I update the plugin?
For a user-scope official marketplace install, run claude plugin update superpowers@claude-plugins-official --scope user.
How do I uninstall Superpowers?
Run claude plugin uninstall superpowers@claude-plugins-official --scope user, changing the scope if you originally installed it elsewhere.
Is ClaudeSuperpowers.com official?
No. ClaudeSuperpowers.com is an independent guide. The Superpowers source is maintained upstream, and Anthropic operates Claude Code and its official plugin marketplace.
