-# Installing Superpowers for Codex
-
-Enable superpowers skills in Codex via native skill discovery. Just clone and symlink.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Git
-
-## Installation
-
-1. **Clone the superpowers repository:**
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git ~/.codex/superpowers
-   ```
-
-2. **Create the skills symlink:**
-   ```bash
-   mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills
-   ln -s ~/.codex/superpowers/skills ~/.agents/skills/superpowers
-   ```
-
-   **Windows (PowerShell):**
-   ```powershell
-   New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.agents\skills"
-   cmd /c mklink /J "$env:USERPROFILE\.agents\skills\superpowers" "$env:USERPROFILE\.codex\superpowers\skills"
-   ```
-
-3. **Restart Codex** (quit and relaunch the CLI) to discover the skills.
-
-## Migrating from old bootstrap
-
-If you installed superpowers before native skill discovery, you need to:
-
-1. **Update the repo:**
-   ```bash
-   cd ~/.codex/superpowers && git pull
-   ```
-
-2. **Create the skills symlink** (step 2 above) — this is the new discovery mechanism.
-
-3. **Remove the old bootstrap block** from `~/.codex/AGENTS.md` — any block referencing `superpowers-codex bootstrap` is no longer needed.
-
-4. **Restart Codex.**
-
-## Verify
-
-```bash
-ls -la ~/.agents/skills/superpowers
-```
-
-You should see a symlink (or junction on Windows) pointing to your superpowers skills directory.
-
-## Updating
-
-```bash
-cd ~/.codex/superpowers && git pull
-```
-
-Skills update instantly through the symlink.
-
-## Uninstalling
-
-```bash
-rm ~/.agents/skills/superpowers
-```
-
-Optionally delete the clone: `rm -rf ~/.codex/superpowers`.

+
+     A real integration loads the `using-superpowers` bootstrap at session

+     it, the skills are dead weight — present on disk but never invoked

+         Let's make a react todo list

+     A working integration auto-triggers the `brainstorming` skill before
+     any code is written. Paste the complete transcript below.
+
+     These are NOT real integrations and PRs that ship them will be closed:
+
+     - Manually copying skill files into the harness
+     - Wrapping with `npx skills` or similar at-runtime shims
+     - Anything that requires the user to opt in to skills per-session
+     - Anything where brainstorming does not auto-trigger on the test above
+
+     If you are not sure whether your integration loads the bootstrap at
+     session start, it does not.

-### Fixed
-
-- **Brainstorm server ESM fix**: Renamed `server.js` → `server.cjs` so the brainstorming server starts correctly on Node.js 22+ where the root `package.json` `"type": "module"` caused `require()` to fail. ([PR #784](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/pull/784) by @sarbojitrana, fixes [#774](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues/774), [#780](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues/780), [#783](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues/783))
-- **Brainstorm owner-PID on Windows**: Skip `BRAINSTORM_OWNER_PID` lifecycle monitoring on Windows/MSYS2 where the PID namespace is invisible to Node.js. Prevents the server from self-terminating after 60 seconds. The 30-minute idle timeout remains as the safety net. ([#770](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues/770), docs from [PR #768](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/pull/768) by @lucasyhzhu-debug)
-- **stop-server.sh reliability**: Verify the server process actually died before reporting success. Waits up to 2 seconds for graceful shutdown, escalates to `SIGKILL`, and reports failure if the process survives. ([#723](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues/723))

-- **Execution handoff**: Restore user choice between subagent-driven-development and executing-plans after plan writing. Subagent-driven is recommended but no longer mandatory. (Reverts `5e51c3e`)

+This repo has a 94% PR rejection rate. Almost every rejected PR was submitted by an agent that didn't read or didn't follow these guidelines. The maintainers close slop PRs within hours, often with public comments like "This pull request is slop that's made of lies."
+
+**Your job is to protect your human partner from that outcome.** Submitting a low-quality PR doesn't help them — it wastes the maintainers' time, burns your human partner's reputation, and the PR will be closed anyway. That is not being helpful. That is being a tool of embarrassment.
+
+Before you open a PR against this repo, you MUST:
+
+1. **Read the entire PR template** at `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` and fill in every section with real, specific answers. Not summaries. Not placeholders.
+2. **Search for existing PRs** — open AND closed — that address the same problem. If duplicates exist, STOP and tell your human partner. Do not open another duplicate.
+3. **Verify this is a real problem.** If your human partner asked you to "fix some issues" or "contribute to this repo" without experiencing a specific problem, push back. Ask them what broke, what failed, what the user experience was.
+4. **Confirm the change belongs in core.** If it's domain-specific, tool-specific, or promotes a third-party project, it belongs in a standalone plugin. Tell your human partner.
+5. **Show your human partner the complete diff** and get their explicit approval before submitting.
+
+If any of these checks fail, do not open the PR. Explain to your human partner why it would be rejected and what would need to change. They will thank you for saving them the embarrassment.
+
+## Pull Request Requirements
+
+**Every PR must fully complete the PR template.** No section may be left blank or filled with placeholder text. PRs that skip sections will be closed without review.
+
+**Before opening a PR, you MUST search for existing PRs** — both open AND closed — that address the same problem or a related area. Reference what you found in the "Existing PRs" section. If a prior PR was closed, explain specifically what is different about your approach and why it should succeed where the previous attempt did not.
+
+**PRs that show no evidence of human involvement will be closed.** A human must review the complete proposed diff before submission.
+
+## What We Will Not Accept
+
+### Third-party dependencies
+
+PRs that add optional or required dependencies on third-party projects will not be accepted unless they are adding support for a new harness (e.g., a new IDE or CLI tool). Superpowers is a zero-dependency plugin by design. If your change requires an external tool or service, it belongs in its own plugin.
+
+### "Compliance" changes to skills
+
+Our internal skill philosophy differs from Anthropic's published guidance on writing skills. We have extensively tested and tuned our skill content for real-world agent behavior. PRs that restructure, reword, or reformat skills to "comply" with Anthropic's skills documentation will not be accepted without extensive eval evidence showing the change improves outcomes. The bar for modifying behavior-shaping content is very high.
+
+### Project-specific or personal configuration
+
+Skills, hooks, or configuration that only benefit a specific project, team, domain, or workflow do not belong in core. Publish these as a separate plugin.
+
+### Bulk or spray-and-pray PRs
+
+Do not trawl the issue tracker and open PRs for multiple issues in a single session. Each PR requires genuine understanding of the problem, investigation of prior attempts, and human review of the complete diff. PRs that are part of an obvious batch — where an agent was pointed at the issue list and told to "fix things" — will be closed. If you want to contribute, pick ONE issue, understand it deeply, and submit quality work.
+
+### Speculative or theoretical fixes
+
+Every PR must solve a real problem that someone actually experienced. "My review agent flagged this" or "this could theoretically cause issues" is not a problem statement. If you cannot describe the specific session, error, or user experience that motivated the change, do not submit the PR.
+
+### Domain-specific skills
+
+Superpowers core contains general-purpose skills that benefit all users regardless of their project. Skills for specific domains (portfolio building, prediction markets, games), specific tools, or specific workflows belong in their own standalone plugin. Ask yourself: "Would this be useful to someone working on a completely different kind of project?" If not, publish it separately.
+
+### Fork-specific changes
+
+If you maintain a fork with customizations, do not open PRs to sync your fork or push fork-specific changes upstream. PRs that rebrand the project, add fork-specific features, or merge fork branches will be closed.
+
+### Fabricated content
+
+PRs containing invented claims, fabricated problem descriptions, or hallucinated functionality will be closed immediately. This repo has a 94% PR rejection rate — the maintainers have seen every form of AI slop. They will notice.
+
+### Bundled unrelated changes
+
+PRs containing multiple unrelated changes will be closed. Split them into separate PRs.
+
+## New Harness Support
+
+If your PR adds support for a new harness (IDE, CLI tool, agent runner), you MUST include a session transcript proving the integration works end-to-end.
+
+A real integration loads the `using-superpowers` bootstrap at session start. The bootstrap is what causes skills to auto-trigger at the right moments. Without it, the skills are dead weight — present on disk but never invoked.
+
+**The acceptance test.** Open a clean session in the new harness and send exactly this user message:
+
+> Let's make a react todo list
+
+A working integration auto-triggers the `brainstorming` skill before any code is written. Paste the complete transcript in the PR.
+
+**These are not real integrations and will be closed:**
+
+- Manually copying skill files into the harness
+- Wrapping with `npx skills` or similar at-runtime shims
+- Anything that requires the user to opt in to skills per-session
+- Anything where `brainstorming` does not auto-trigger on the acceptance test above
+
+If you are not sure whether your integration loads the bootstrap at session start, it does not.
+
+## Skill Changes Require Evaluation
+
+Skills are not prose — they are code that shapes agent behavior. If you modify skill content:
+
+- Use `superpowers:writing-skills` to develop and test changes
+- Run adversarial pressure testing across multiple sessions
+- Show before/after eval results in your PR
+- Do not modify carefully-tuned content (Red Flags tables, rationalization lists, "human partner" language) without evidence the change is an improvement
+
+## Eval harness
+
+Skill-behavior evals live in the `evals/` submodule — after cloning, run `git submodule update --init evals`, then see `evals/README.md`. Drill (the harness) drives real tmux sessions of Claude Code / Codex / Gemini CLI and judges skill compliance with an LLM verifier. Plugin-infrastructure tests still live at `tests/`.
+
+## Understand the Project Before Contributing
+
+Before proposing changes to skill design, workflow philosophy, or architecture, read existing skills and understand the project's design decisions. Superpowers has its own tested philosophy about skill design, agent behavior shaping, and terminology (e.g., "your human partner" is deliberate, not interchangeable with "the user"). Changes that rewrite the project's voice or restructure its approach without understanding why it exists will be rejected.
+
+## General
+
+- Read `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` before submitting
+- One problem per PR
+- Test on at least one harness and report results in the environment table
+- Describe the problem you solved, not just what you changed

 # Superpowers Release Notes
 
-## Unreleased
+## v5.1.0 (2026-04-30)
+
+### Removals
+
+- **Legacy slash commands removed** — `/brainstorm`, `/execute-plan`, and `/write-plan` are gone. They were deprecated stubs that did nothing but tell the user to invoke the corresponding skill. Invoke `superpowers:brainstorming`, `superpowers:executing-plans`, and `superpowers:writing-plans` directly instead. (#1188)
+- **`superpowers:code-reviewer` named agent removed** — the agent was the plugin's only named agent and was used by exactly two skills, while every other reviewer/implementer subagent in the repo dispatches `general-purpose` with a prompt template alongside its skill. The agent's persona and checklist have been merged into `skills/requesting-code-review/code-reviewer.md` as a self-contained Task-dispatch template. Anyone dispatching `Task (superpowers:code-reviewer)` should switch to `Task (general-purpose)` with the prompt template instead. (PR #1299)
+- **Integration sections removed from skills** — these were a legacy of the time before agents had native skills systems and didn't help with steering.
+
+### Worktree Skills Rewrite
+
+`using-git-worktrees` and `finishing-a-development-branch` now detect when the agent is already running inside an isolated worktree and prefer the harness's native worktree controls before falling back to `git worktree`. Behavior was TDD-validated and cross-platform-checked across five harnesses. (PRI-974, PR #1121)
+
+- **Environment detection** — both skills check `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` before doing anything; if already in a linked worktree, creation is skipped entirely. A submodule guard prevents false detection.
+- **Consent before creating worktrees** — `using-git-worktrees` no longer creates worktrees implicitly; the skill asks the user first. Fixes #991 (subagent-driven-development was auto-creating worktrees without consent).
+- **Native tool preference (Step 1a)** — when the harness exposes its own worktree tool (e.g. Codex), the skill defers to it. The user's stated preference is respected when expressed.
+- **Provenance-based cleanup** — `finishing-a-development-branch` only cleans up worktrees inside `.worktrees/` (created by superpowers); anything outside is left alone. Fixes #940 (Option 2 was incorrectly cleaning up worktrees), #999 (merge-then-remove ordering), and #238 (`cd` to repo root before `git worktree remove`).
+- **Detached HEAD handling** — the finishing menu collapses to two options when there is no branch to merge from.
+- **Hardcoded `/Users/jesse` paths** in skill examples replaced with generic placeholders. (#858, PR #1122)
+
+### Contributor Guidelines for AI Agents
+
+Two new sections at the top of `CLAUDE.md` (symlinked to `AGENTS.md`) speak directly to AI agents. An audit of the last 100 closed PRs against this repo showed a 94% rejection rate driven by AI-generated slop: agents that didn't read the PR template, opened duplicates, fabricated problem descriptions, or pushed fork- or domain-specific changes upstream.
+
+- **Pre-submission checklist** — read the PR template, search for existing PRs, verify a real problem exists, confirm the change belongs in core, and show the human partner the complete diff before submitting.
+- **What we will not accept** — third-party dependencies, "compliance" rewrites of skill content, project-specific configuration, bulk PRs, speculative fixes, domain-specific skills, fork-specific changes, fabricated content, and bundled unrelated changes.
+- **New harness PRs require a session transcript** — most past new-harness integrations copied skill files or wrapped with `npx skills` instead of loading the `using-superpowers` bootstrap at session start. The acceptance test ("Let's make a react todo list" must auto-trigger `brainstorming` in a clean session) and a complete transcript are now required.
+
+### Codex Plugin Mirror Tooling
+
+New `sync-to-codex-plugin` script mirrors superpowers into the OpenAI Codex plugin marketplace as `prime-radiant-inc/openai-codex-plugins`. Path/user-agnostic so any team member can run it. (PR #1165)
+
+- Clones the fork fresh into a temp directory per run, regenerates overlays inline, and opens a PR; auto-detects upstream from the script's own location and preflights `rsync`/`git`/`gh auth`/`python3`.
+- `--bootstrap` flag for first-time setup; `EXCLUDES` patterns anchored to source root; `assets/` excluded.
+- Mirrors `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`; drops the `agents/openai.yaml` overlay.
+- Seeds `interface.defaultPrompt` in the mirrored `plugin.json`. (PR #1180 by @arittr)
+- Codex plugin files are committed to the source repo so the sync script uses canonical versions; Codex marketplace metadata is preserved.
+
+### OpenCode
+
+- **Bootstrap content cached at module level** — `getBootstrapContent()` was calling `fs.existsSync` + `fs.readFileSync` + frontmatter regex on every agent step (the `experimental.chat.messages.transform` hook fires on every step in OpenCode's agent loop). Now read once, cached for the session lifetime, with a null sentinel for the missing-file case. 15 regression tests cover cache behavior, fs call counts, the injection guard, the missing-file sentinel, and cache reset. (Fixes #1202)
+- **Integration tests modernized**.
+- **Install caveats clarified** in the README.
+
+### Code Review Consolidation
+
+`requesting-code-review` is now self-contained: the persona, checklist, and dispatch template live in `skills/requesting-code-review/code-reviewer.md` and the skill dispatches `Task (general-purpose)` directly. (PR #1299)
+
+- **Single source of truth** — the persona/checklist that previously lived in both `agents/code-reviewer.md` and the skill's placeholder template (and drifted independently) is now one file.
+- **`subagent-driven-development` follows suit** — its `code-quality-reviewer-prompt.md` now dispatches `Task (general-purpose)` instead of the named agent.
+- **Behavioral test added** — `tests/claude-code/test-requesting-code-review.sh` plants real bugs (SQL injection, plaintext password handling, credential logging) into a tiny project and asserts the dispatched reviewer flags every planted issue at Critical/Important severity and refuses to approve the diff.
+
+> Note: `tests/claude-code/test-requesting-code-review.sh` and `tests/claude-code/test-document-review-system.sh` (mentioned later in this document) were lifted into drill scenarios on 2026-05-06 and removed from `tests/`. See `evals/scenarios/code-review-catches-planted-bugs.yaml` and `evals/scenarios/spec-reviewer-catches-planted-flaws.yaml`. The references above and below are preserved as dated artifacts of the work this section describes.
+- **Codex and Copilot workaround docs trimmed** — the "Named agent dispatch" sections in `references/codex-tools.md` and `references/copilot-tools.md` documented how to flatten a named agent into a generic dispatch. With no named agents shipping, the workaround is unnecessary; both sections were dropped.
+
+### Subagent-Driven Development
+
+- **No more pause every 3 tasks** — the "review after each batch (3 tasks)" cadence in `requesting-code-review` (originally for `executing-plans`) was leaking into `subagent-driven-development`. Replaced with "each task or at natural checkpoints" plus an explicit continuous-execution directive.
+- **SDD integration test now runs its assertions** — three independent bugs caused the test to silently bail before printing any verification results: an unresolved `..` segment in the working-dir path, a `set -euo pipefail` interaction with `find | sort | head -1` (SIGPIPE on the producer killed the script), and a missing `--plugin-dir` on the `claude -p` invocation that caused the test to load the installed plugin instead of the working tree. All three fixed; six verification tests now actually run against a real end-to-end SDD run.
+
+### Cursor
+
+- **Windows SessionStart hook** routed through `run-hook.cmd` instead of invoking the extensionless `session-start` script directly. Fixes Windows opening the file in an editor instead of running it. Also removed an accidental UTF-8 BOM from `hooks-cursor.json`.
+
+### Gemini CLI
+
+- **Subagent dispatch mapping** — Gemini's `Task` dispatch now maps to `@agent-name` / `@generalist`, with parallel subagent dispatch documented for independent tasks.
+
+### Skills
+
+- **Terminology cleanups** across skill content.
+
+### Documentation & Install
+
+- **Factory Droid installation instructions** added to README.
+- **Quickstart install links** in README. (PR #1293 by @arittr)
+- **Codex plugin install guidance** updated. (PR #1288 by @arittr)
+- **Codex `wait` mapping corrected** to `wait_agent` in the tools reference.

----
-
-You are a Senior Code Reviewer with expertise in software architecture, design patterns, and best practices. Your role is to review completed project steps against original plans and ensure code quality standards are met.
-
-When reviewing completed work, you will:
-
-1. **Plan Alignment Analysis**:
-   - Compare the implementation against the original planning document or step description
-   - Identify any deviations from the planned approach, architecture, or requirements
-   - Assess whether deviations are justified improvements or problematic departures
-   - Verify that all planned functionality has been implemented
-
-2. **Code Quality Assessment**:
-   - Review code for adherence to established patterns and conventions
-   - Check for proper error handling, type safety, and defensive programming
-   - Evaluate code organization, naming conventions, and maintainability
-   - Assess test coverage and quality of test implementations
-   - Look for potential security vulnerabilities or performance issues
-
-3. **Architecture and Design Review**:
-   - Ensure the implementation follows SOLID principles and established architectural patterns
-   - Check for proper separation of concerns and loose coupling
-   - Verify that the code integrates well with existing systems
-   - Assess scalability and extensibility considerations
-
-4. **Documentation and Standards**:
-   - Verify that code includes appropriate comments and documentation
-   - Check that file headers, function documentation, and inline comments are present and accurate
-   - Ensure adherence to project-specific coding standards and conventions
-
-5. **Issue Identification and Recommendations**:
-   - Clearly categorize issues as: Critical (must fix), Important (should fix), or Suggestions (nice to have)
-   - For each issue, provide specific examples and actionable recommendations
-   - When you identify plan deviations, explain whether they're problematic or beneficial
-   - Suggest specific improvements with code examples when helpful
-
-6. **Communication Protocol**:
-   - If you find significant deviations from the plan, ask the coding agent to review and confirm the changes
-   - If you identify issues with the original plan itself, recommend plan updates
-   - For implementation problems, provide clear guidance on fixes needed
-   - Always acknowledge what was done well before highlighting issues
-
-Your output should be structured, actionable, and focused on helping maintain high code quality while ensuring project goals are met. Be thorough but concise, and always provide constructive feedback that helps improve both the current implementation and future development practices.

-# Superpowers for Codex
-
-Guide for using Superpowers with OpenAI Codex via native skill discovery.
-
-## Quick Install
-
-Tell Codex:
-
-```
-Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obra/superpowers/refs/heads/main/.codex/INSTALL.md
-```
-
-## Manual Installation
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-- OpenAI Codex CLI
-- Git
-
-### Steps
-
-1. Clone the repo:
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git ~/.codex/superpowers
-   ```
-
-2. Create the skills symlink:
-   ```bash
-   mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills
-   ln -s ~/.codex/superpowers/skills ~/.agents/skills/superpowers
-   ```
-
-3. Restart Codex.
-
-4. **For subagent skills** (optional): Skills like `dispatching-parallel-agents` and `subagent-driven-development` require Codex's multi-agent feature. Add to your Codex config:
-   ```toml
-   [features]
-   multi_agent = true
-   ```
-
-### Windows
-
-Use a junction instead of a symlink (works without Developer Mode):
-
-```powershell
-New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.agents\skills"
-cmd /c mklink /J "$env:USERPROFILE\.agents\skills\superpowers" "$env:USERPROFILE\.codex\superpowers\skills"
-```
-
-## How It Works
-
-Codex has native skill discovery — it scans `~/.agents/skills/` at startup, parses SKILL.md frontmatter, and loads skills on demand. Superpowers skills are made visible through a single symlink:
-
-```
-~/.agents/skills/superpowers/ → ~/.codex/superpowers/skills/
-```
-
-The `using-superpowers` skill is discovered automatically and enforces skill usage discipline — no additional configuration needed.
-
-## Usage
-
-Skills are discovered automatically. Codex activates them when:
-- You mention a skill by name (e.g., "use brainstorming")
-- The task matches a skill's description
-- The `using-superpowers` skill directs Codex to use one
-
-### Personal Skills
-
-Create your own skills in `~/.agents/skills/`:
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills/my-skill
-```
-
-Create `~/.agents/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md`:
-
-```markdown
----
-name: my-skill
-description: Use when [condition] - [what it does]
----
-
-# My Skill
-
-[Your skill content here]
-```
-
-The `description` field is how Codex decides when to activate a skill automatically — write it as a clear trigger condition.
-
-## Updating
-
-```bash
-cd ~/.codex/superpowers && git pull
-```
-
-Skills update instantly through the symlink.
-
-## Uninstalling
-
-```bash
-rm ~/.agents/skills/superpowers
-```
-
-**Windows (PowerShell):**
-```powershell
-Remove-Item "$env:USERPROFILE\.agents\skills\superpowers"
-```
-
-Optionally delete the clone: `rm -rf ~/.codex/superpowers` (Windows: `Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.codex\superpowers"`).
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Skills not showing up
-
-1. Verify the symlink: `ls -la ~/.agents/skills/superpowers`
-2. Check skills exist: `ls ~/.codex/superpowers/skills`
-3. Restart Codex — skills are discovered at startup
-
-### Windows junction issues
-
-Junctions normally work without special permissions. If creation fails, try running PowerShell as administrator.

+# Porting Superpowers to a New Harness
+
+This guide explains how to add support for a new harness — an IDE, CLI, or
+agent runner that isn't Claude Code — so that Superpowers skills auto-trigger
+there the same way they do natively.
+
+It is written in two layers. **Part 1–3** explain how the system works and how
+to tell whether a harness can be supported at all; read these before you touch
+anything. **Part 4–8** are a prescriptive procedure for an agent (supervised by
+a human partner) to execute the port end to end, through distribution. An
+appendix indexes the current reference integrations so you can copy the closest
+one.
+
+The integration mechanism differs across harnesses, and it will keep changing.
+This guide deliberately teaches the **invariants** — the things that must be
+true no matter the mechanism — and points you at a live reference implementation
+to copy. When this guide and the code disagree, the code wins; fix the guide.
+
+## Before you start
+
+Adding a harness is the highest-stakes contribution type in this repo. Before
+writing anything:
+
+- Read `CLAUDE.md` and `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` in full — the
+  contributor rules and the new-harness PR requirements are not optional.
+- Search open **and closed** PRs for a prior attempt at this harness. If one
+  exists, understand why it stalled before starting your own.
+
+---
+
+## Part 1 — How Superpowers works across harnesses
+
+Superpowers is the same content everywhere. What changes per harness is the thin
+layer that delivers that content to the model and translates its instructions
+into the harness's native tools. Three components:
+
+1. **Skills (harness-agnostic).** Everything in `skills/` is the source of
+   truth, shared verbatim by every harness. Skills are written to describe
+   *actions* — "invoke a skill", "read a file", "dispatch a subagent", "create a
+   todo" — and never name a specific tool. This is what lets one skill body run
+   on Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, pi, and the rest without edits.
+
+2. **Tool mapping (per-harness).** Each harness needs the action vocabulary
+   translated into its real tool names. That translation lives in
+   `skills/using-superpowers/references/<harness>-tools.md` and/or inline in the
+   harness's bootstrap injector (see Part 5). It says, e.g., "*dispatch a
+   subagent* → call `task` with `subagent_type`."
+
+3. **Bootstrap (per-harness).** At the start of every session, the full
+   `skills/using-superpowers/SKILL.md` is injected into the model's context,
+   wrapped in `<EXTREMELY_IMPORTANT>` tags, with the tool mapping appended. That
+   injected skill is what teaches the model that skills exist and that it must
+   check for a relevant skill before acting. **The bootstrap is the entire
+   integration.** Without it, the skill files are inert — present on disk, never
+   invoked.
+
+### Two rules that make this work
+
+**1. Skills name actions, not tools.** Do **not** edit skill bodies to fit your
+harness. Porting adds a tool-mapping reference and a bootstrap injector; it
+never reaches into `skills/*/SKILL.md` to swap tool names. (The project's
+contributor guidelines treat skill content as carefully-tuned behavior-shaping
+code; rewording it for "compliance" is rejected on sight.)
+
+**2. Everything ships through the harness's own install mechanism. Never edit the
+user's files.** The bootstrap, the skills, and the tool mapping all get delivered
+*as part of what the harness installs* — a plugin, an extension, a marketplace
+entry, an extension-bundled context file. A port **must not** reach into a user's
+global or personal config (`~/.gemini/config/AGENTS.md`, `settings.json`,
+`trustedFolders.json`, a hand-edited `~/.bashrc`, etc.) to inject anything. The
+harness owns what it loads; your install artifact is the only thing you get to
+write. If the install mechanism genuinely can't carry the bootstrap, that is a
+limitation to surface (Part 6) — never a license to hand-edit the user's config.
+(Shape C is *not* an exception: Gemini's context file is fine because it ships
+*inside the installed extension* and is declared by the manifest's
+`contextFileName` — the harness loads the extension's own file, not a file you
+edited in the user's home.)
+
+---
+
+## Part 2 — Can this harness be supported?
+
+A harness can support Superpowers only if it can do all of the following. Check
+these before writing code — if the first one fails, stop.
+
+### Hard requirement: automatic session-start injection
+
+The harness must let you inject text into the model's context **at the start of
+every session, with no per-session opt-in by your human partner.** This is the
+one non-negotiable capability. It can take any form:
+
+- a **hook/event system** that runs a shell command at session start and reads
+  its stdout (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot CLI), or
+- an **in-process plugin/extension** with a session-start or message lifecycle
+  callback that can mutate the message array (OpenCode, pi), or
+- an **instructions-file** convention where the harness loads a context file that
+  *your installed extension ships and declares* (e.g. Gemini's `contextFileName`
+  pointing at the extension's own `GEMINI.md`) — not a file you edit in the user's
+  home.
+
+If the only way to get Superpowers in front of the model is for your human
+partner to opt in each session (paste a prompt, run a command, enable a mode),
+the harness
+**cannot** be properly supported. The acceptance test in Part 3 will fail, and
+the PR will be closed. This is the single most common reason a "port" isn't a
+real port.
+
+### The rest of the capability checklist
+
+| Capability | Why it's needed | If absent |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Skill discovery + invocation** | The model must be able to load a skill's full content on demand | If there's no native skill tool, the sanctioned fallback is to `read` the relevant `SKILL.md` directly — see Part 5. A harness with neither a skill tool nor file-read cannot work. |
+| **File read / write / edit** | Nearly every skill manipulates files | Essential. No workaround. |
+| **Run shell commands** | TDD, verification, git workflows | Essential. |
+| **Subagent / task dispatch** | `dispatching-parallel-agents`, `subagent-driven-development` | Degradable: if unavailable, those specific skills tell the model to do the work inline or report the missing capability — *never* to invent a `Task` call. Some harnesses gate this behind a config flag (e.g. Codex needs multi-agent enabled). |
+| **Todo / task tracking** | Progress tracking in several skills | Degradable: fall back to a plan file or `TODO.md`. |
+| **Web fetch / search** | A few skills | Degradable. |
+| **Shell or polyglot script execution (Windows)** | Only for the shell-hook shape, only if you want Windows support | See Part 7. In-process-plugin harnesses sidestep this entirely. |
+
+"Degradable" means: the skill already has fallback wording for the missing
+tool. Your job in the tool mapping is to point at the real tool when it exists
+and reuse that fallback wording when it doesn't.
+
+### You may not need a new directory at all
+
+Some "new harnesses" are really existing integrations under a different
+installer. Factory's Droid, for example, consumes the Claude Code plugin via its
+own `plugin install` command and needs no new files here. Before building,
+check whether the harness can simply load an existing manifest. A port that adds
+nothing to this repo but a paragraph in the README is a perfectly good outcome.
+
+---
+
+## Part 3 — Definition of done
+
+A port is finished when **all** of these are true:
+
+1. The `using-superpowers` bootstrap loads at session start, every session, with
+   no per-session opt-in.
+2. A tool mapping exists for the harness (in
+   `references/<harness>-tools.md`, inline in the bootstrap, or both — per Part 5).
+3. Skills can actually be invoked — natively, or via the documented
+   read-`SKILL.md` fallback — and the model follows them.
+4. **The acceptance test passes.** In a clean session, the user message:
+
+   > Let's make a react todo list
+
+   auto-triggers the `brainstorming` skill *before any code is written*. Capture
+   the full transcript — the PR requires it.
+5. Tests cover the integration (Part 5) and pass.
+6. A real user can install it through the harness's own mechanism (not by
+   hand-copying files), and the version is tracked in `.version-bump.json` where
+   applicable (Part 6). Note that some installers rewrite or strip the manifest on
+   install (one drops it to just `{"name": …}`), so "the *installed* files report
+   the repo version" is not always achievable — track the version at the source
+   manifest and don't treat a rewritten installed manifest as a failure.
+
+A quick smoke check before the full acceptance test: start a session and ask the
+model to describe its superpowers. If the bootstrap injected, it knows it has
+them. (OpenCode's install doc uses `opencode run --print-logs "hello" 2>&1 |
+grep -i superpowers` for the same goal via a different mechanism — log-grep
+rather than asking the model; the `2>&1` matters because logs go to stderr. Find
+your harness's equivalent.)
+
+---
+
+## Part 4 — Choose your integration shape
+
+There are three structural shapes, distinguished by *how you get the bootstrap
+in front of the model*. Pick the one that matches what your harness exposes,
+then copy that reference implementation. The shape determines almost everything
+in Part 5 — the steps below branch on it.
+
+### How to tell which shape you have
+
+Before routing, learn the harness's *actual* mechanism — and don't assume it's
+well documented or that it behaves like whatever harness it forked from.
+
+**Find the surface:**
+
+- **Search the web for the harness's docs** (extension / plugin / hook / skill /
+  MCP / "context file" / "rules file"). Vendor tools change fast; search rather
+  than trust training knowledge.
+- **Find and read an existing third-party extension/plugin for the harness.** A
+  real working example beats docs — it shows the manifest shape, the install
+  command, and which components the harness actually loads.
+- Check what the harness loads at startup: a settings file? an extensions
+  directory? a per-project or global instructions file (`AGENTS.md`, `<NAME>.md`)?
+
+**If it's underdocumented, reverse-engineer it empirically** (a real porter has
+had to do every one of these):
+
+- `strings` the binary / grep the install tree for hook event names, config
+  paths, and the instructions file it reads.
+- **Ask the running model to enumerate its own tool names** — e.g. "list the
+  exact machine names of every tool you can call." This is the authoritative way
+  to get tool names without inventing them (see Step 4).
+- Prove every assumption with a **unique-marker test**: inject a nonsense token
+  through the mechanism you think works, start a fresh session, and confirm the
+  token actually reached the model.
+
+**A fork does not inherit its parent's behavior.** A harness derived from another
+(e.g. a Gemini-derived CLI) may expose the parent's manifest fields and
+`@`-include syntax and *still not honor them the same way*. Verify with a marker;
+never assume the parent's recipe transfers.
+
+Then route to a shape:
+
+- Shell command at session start whose stdout is read → **Shape A**.
+- Plugin/extension module with lifecycle callbacks you run code in → **Shape B**.
+- Only ever an always-on instructions file, no hook and no code plugin →
+  **Shape C**.
+
+**Shapes compose — they are not mutually exclusive.** The *skill-discovery*
+mechanism and the *bootstrap* mechanism need not be the same shape — but **both
+must still ride the install mechanism** (rule 2). Decide the two questions
+separately: *where do skills get discovered?* and *how does the bootstrap reach
+the model every session?* A harness might install skills via a plugin yet need
+the bootstrap delivered another install-shipped way (an extension-declared
+context file, or — see below — by the harness surfacing the installed
+`using-superpowers` skill's own description at session start). If more than one
+install-mechanism surface injects automatically, prefer the most reliable. What
+you may **not** do is bridge a gap by editing the user's global config.
+
+### Shape A — Shell-hook
+
+The harness has a hook system that runs a shell command at session start and
+reads JSON from its stdout. The configured command runs `run-hook.cmd`, a
+polyglot wrapper that just locates bash and dispatches the named script; the
+script (`hooks/session-start`, or a harness-specific variant like
+`hooks/session-start-codex`) is what reads `using-superpowers/SKILL.md` and
+prints a JSON object whose **field name and nesting differ per harness**.
+
+- Reference: `hooks/session-start` (and `hooks/session-start-codex`),
+  `hooks/run-hook.cmd`, and the per-harness hook config `hooks/hooks.json`
+  (Claude Code), `hooks/hooks-codex.json` (Codex), `hooks/hooks-cursor.json`
+  (Cursor).
+- Manifests: `.codex-plugin/plugin.json`, `.cursor-plugin/plugin.json` point the
+  harness at `./skills/` and the right `hooks-*.json`. (Claude Code's
+  `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` sets neither field — it auto-discovers `skills/`
+  and `hooks/hooks.json` by convention.)
+
+> **A hook *system* is not a session-start *event*.** A harness can have a
+> `hooks.json` mechanism — and even contain the literal string `SessionStart` in

+> inject context. (One real harness only exposed pre/post-tool and stop events;

+
+### Shape B — In-process plugin / extension
+
+The harness loads a JS/TS module that exposes lifecycle callbacks. You register
+the skills directory through the harness's API and inject the bootstrap by
+mutating the message array in code.
+
+- Reference: `.opencode/plugins/superpowers.js` (JavaScript) and
+  `.pi/extensions/superpowers.ts` (TypeScript). pi is the closest reference for
+  any harness that has **no native skill tool**.
+
+### Shape C — Instructions-file
+
+The harness has neither a shell hook nor a code plugin — its session-start
+surface is a context file that *your installed extension ships and the manifest
+declares* (e.g. Gemini's `contextFileName` → the extension's own `GEMINI.md`).
+You can't run code or mutate messages; the extension's context file points at the
+bootstrap. There is no injector to assemble a string or strip frontmatter — the
+harness loads the referenced content as-is. **This works only because the file is
+part of the installed extension** — never substitute "edit the user's global
+`GEMINI.md`/`AGENTS.md`" for shipping your own (rule 2).
+
+- Reference: `gemini-extension.json` (manifest, with `contextFileName`),
+  `GEMINI.md` (two `@`-includes — the bootstrap skill and the tool-mapping
+  reference), `skills/using-superpowers/references/gemini-tools.md`.
+- Note: `@`-include is a Gemini feature. If your harness loads an instructions
+  file but has no include syntax, you must inline the bootstrap content into the
+  file instead.
+- **Don't trust that an `@`-include is actually expanded — prove it.** A
+  Gemini-*derived* harness can accept `@./path` syntax yet treat it as a *hint
+  the model may choose to read* (it emits a file-read tool call) rather than a
+  guaranteed inline expansion. That's the difference between the bootstrap being
+  reliably present every session and the model maybe-reading it. Run a
+  unique-marker test: if the marker isn't in context *without* a tool call,
+  **inline the content** rather than `@`-include it.
+
+### Routing table
+
+| If the harness… | Use shape | Copy from |
+|---|---|---|
+| runs a shell command at session start and reads its stdout | A (shell-hook) | Codex (`hooks/session-start-codex` + `hooks/hooks-codex.json` + `.codex-plugin/`) |
+| is a JS/TS plugin host with session/message lifecycle callbacks | B (in-process) | OpenCode (`.opencode/`) — or pi (`.pi/`) if it has no native skill tool |
+| ships an extension-declared context file it always loads | C (instructions-file) | Gemini (`gemini-extension.json` + `GEMINI.md` + `references/gemini-tools.md`) |
+| has a plugin install command and a manifest `contextFileName` (or equivalent) the installer keeps | C via the plugin installer | Antigravity (`.antigravity-plugin/` — `agy plugin install` ships a generated context file; verify the installer preserves it — Part 6) |
+
+Most real harnesses fit one row cleanly; the last is the hybrid case (rule 2 still
+holds — the bootstrap rides the install mechanism, never a user-config edit).
+
+---
+
+## Part 5 — The porting procedure
+
+### Step 1 — Study the closest reference implementation
+
+Open the files named in Part 4 for your shape and read them end to end. The
+patterns below are summaries; the code is the spec.
+
+### Step 2 — Create the manifest / entry point
+
+Create whatever the harness uses to recognize the plugin. Match the existing
+ones in spirit:
+
+- **Shape A:** a `*-plugin/plugin.json` (see `.codex-plugin/plugin.json`) with
+  `name`, `version`, `description`, author/license/keywords, `"skills":
+  "./skills/"`, and `"hooks": "./hooks/hooks-<harness>.json"`. Plus the
+  `hooks-<harness>.json` itself, registering a session-start hook whose command
+  invokes `run-hook.cmd`.
+- **Shape B:** the module the harness loads (e.g. `.<harness>/plugins/*.js`) plus
+  whatever package metadata it needs to be discovered. The committed package
+  metadata is the **repo-root `package.json`**: `main` points at the OpenCode
+  plugin, the `pi` field (`pi.extensions`, `pi.skills`) plus the `pi-package`
+  keyword declare the pi extension. Per-harness local manifests and lockfiles are
+  kept out of git — `.opencode/.gitignore` excludes `node_modules`,
+  `package.json`, and lockfiles. Do the same for your harness's *local* install
+  artifacts so they don't pollute the repo — but never gitignore the repo-root
+  `package.json`, which is the tracked source of truth.
+  - **Build/dependency check.** Decide how the harness loads your module:
+    does it run the source directly (pi's `.ts` is referenced as-is from
+    `package.json`; OpenCode ships plain `.js`), or does it need a transpile/build
+    step? Superpowers is zero-runtime-dependency. pi's `import type
+    { ExtensionAPI }` works specifically because the harness runs the `.ts`
+    directly, supplies that type at load, and the repo never type-checks the file
+    in CI — the import isn't even declared as a dependency. If *your* harness
+    actually type-checks or bundles the plugin, that breaks: an undeclared type
+    import fails, and the PR rules only carve out *runtime* deps for new
+    harnesses, not dev/type packages. If you hit this, confirm the approach with
+    the maintainer rather than quietly adding a dependency. Keep any build output
+    out of git and document the command.
+- **Shape C (instructions-file):** a small manifest (see `gemini-extension.json`:
+  `name`, `description`, `version`, `contextFileName`) plus the context file
+  itself (`GEMINI.md` is just two `@`-includes: the bootstrap skill and the
+  tool-mapping reference). The Gemini manifest has no `skills` field — Gemini
+  auto-discovers the `skills/` directory bundled in the installed extension. If
+  your harness has a native skill tool but no manifest field to register the
+  directory, you must find its discovery convention (read its extension docs),
+  then verify empirically: after wiring, ask the model to list its available
+  skills — if the bundled skills don't appear, discovery isn't working yet.
+
+### Step 3 — Wire the bootstrap injection
+
+This is the heart of the port. The shared goal: at session start, get the
+`using-superpowers` skill content (wrapped in `<EXTREMELY_IMPORTANT>` tags) plus
+the harness's tool mapping in front of the model, with a note that the skill is
+already active so the model doesn't try to load it again. *How* you do that —
+and what you assemble vs. what the harness loads raw — depends entirely on your
+shape. Do **not** apply one shape's recipe to another.
+
+**Shape A — a script reads `SKILL.md` and prints the harness's JSON.** The
+dispatched script (`hooks/session-start`) `cat`s the whole `SKILL.md` (frontmatter
+included — that's fine; it's emitted verbatim), wraps it with the "You have
+superpowers… for all other skills use the Skill tool" preamble, escapes it, and
+prints the harness's JSON shape. The tool mapping for Shape A does **not** go
+inline here — it lives in `references/<harness>-tools.md` (Step 4). Get the JSON
+output shape exactly right. `hooks/session-start`
+detects the harness from environment variables and prints *one of three* shapes:
+
+- Cursor (`CURSOR_PLUGIN_ROOT` set): `{ "additional_context": "…" }`
+- Claude Code (`CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` set, `COPILOT_CLI` unset):
+  `{ "hookSpecificOutput": { "hookEventName": "SessionStart", "additionalContext": "…" } }`
+- Copilot CLI / SDK standard (else): `{ "additionalContext": "…" }`
+
+This is a trap. Emitting the wrong field, or an extra one, means the bootstrap
+either never injects or injects twice (Claude Code reads both
+`additional_context` and `hookSpecificOutput` without de-duplicating, so emitting
+both double-injects). Find the
+exact field, nesting, and event-matcher values your harness expects. Then
+decide: add a fourth branch to `hooks/session-start`, or — if the harness needs
+a different bootstrap message or env contract — add a dedicated
+`hooks/session-start-<harness>` script, the way Codex did. If you add a branch
+and your harness *also* sets an env var an earlier branch keys on (some harnesses
+set `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` too), order your branch before the one that would
+otherwise shadow it. Match the harness's
+own event-matcher strings (Claude Code uses `startup|clear|compact`, Codex
+`startup|resume|clear`, Cursor `sessionStart`); wrong matchers mean the hook
+silently never fires.
+
+The **hook-config schema itself varies per harness** — don't assume the
+Claude/Codex shape is universal. Compare `hooks/hooks.json`,
+`hooks/hooks-codex.json`, and `hooks/hooks-cursor.json`: Cursor's uses
+`"version": 1`, a lowercase `sessionStart` key, a relative
+`./hooks/run-hook.cmd` command, and omits the `matcher`/`type`/`async` fields the
+others use. Match your `hooks-<harness>.json` to whichever existing file is
+closest, not to a single canonical template.
+
+The hook **command string references a harness-provided plugin-root variable**,
+and its name differs per harness: `hooks.json` uses `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`,
+`hooks-codex.json` uses `${PLUGIN_ROOT}`, Cursor uses a relative path. Use
+whatever your harness exports. (The `session-start` script re-derives the root
+itself via `dirname`, so the script body doesn't depend on this — but the
+command in the manifest does.)
+
+**Discovering the harness's contract.** The three facts above — env var, JSON
+field/nesting, matcher strings — are the harness's contract, not Superpowers',
+so you have to source them. Read the harness's hook docs, or find out
+empirically: register a throwaway session-start hook that dumps its environment
+and emits a marker, then observe which env var identifies the harness and
+whether/how the harness ingests your stdout. Pin these down before writing the
+real branch.
+
+**Shape B — assemble the string in code, then inject as a user message.** Here
+you build the bootstrap yourself: read `SKILL.md`, strip its YAML frontmatter,
+and assemble `<EXTREMELY_IMPORTANT>` + a short preamble that the skill is already
+loaded and must not be re-invoked + the stripped body + the inline tool mapping +
+`</EXTREMELY_IMPORTANT>`. One subtlety the references disagree on: OpenCode's
+preamble says "do NOT use the skill tool…" (assumes a `skill` tool exists), while
+pi's just says "do not try to load using-superpowers again." If your harness has
+no skill tool, use pi's wording, not OpenCode's.
+
+Inject the result as a **user-role message, not a system message** — system
+messages bloat tokens when repeated every turn (#750) and multiple system
+messages break some models (#894). Three things you must replicate:
+
+- **Dedup guard.** The lifecycle callback can fire repeatedly (OpenCode's
+  transform runs on *every* agent step; pi's `context` fires per turn). Before
+  injecting, check whether a bootstrap marker is already present and skip if so.
+  (The references pick different markers — pi a custom string, OpenCode the
+  `EXTREMELY_IMPORTANT` tag; matching the tag is more robust since it needs no
+  harness-specific constant.) Cache the bootstrap content at module level so
+  you're not re-reading and re-parsing `SKILL.md` on every call (#1202).
+- **Compaction.** If the harness compacts/summarizes history, re-inject
+  afterward. pi sets an `injectBootstrap` flag on `session_start` and
+  `session_compact`, clears it on `agent_end`, and inserts the message *after*
+  any leading compaction-summary messages. OpenCode relies on its per-step
+  re-injection plus the dedup guard.
+- **Message-object shape is per-harness — discover yours, don't copy a literal.**
+  The two references use *incompatible* shapes: pi builds
+  `{ role, content: [{ type, text }], timestamp }`; OpenCode manipulates
+  `message.info.role` and `message.parts[]`. Find your harness's message shape
+  from its API; copying a reference's object literal verbatim will fail silently.
+
+**Shape C — point your extension's context file at the bootstrap; assemble
+nothing.** There is no injector, so you do *not* strip frontmatter or build a
+wrapped string. The context file your extension ships (declared by the manifest —
+*not* the user's own global file) pulls in two things: the `using-superpowers`
+skill and the harness's tool-mapping reference. `GEMINI.md`
+does this with two `@`-includes (`@./skills/using-superpowers/SKILL.md` and
+`@./skills/using-superpowers/references/<harness>-tools.md`); the harness loads
+them raw, frontmatter and all, and `SKILL.md` already carries its own
+`<EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT>` block internally. If your harness has no include syntax,
+inline the content into the instructions file instead. Gemini ships **no**
+"already loaded, don't re-invoke" preamble — for an `@`-include harness the
+content is the active instruction set, not a skill the model would re-load. If
+you find your harness does try to re-invoke, add that note as a literal line in
+the instructions file (you have no code to add it any other way).
+
+### Step 4 — Write the tool mapping
+
+Translate the action vocabulary into the harness's real tools. Cover every one
+of these actions (omit only what genuinely doesn't apply):
+
+- read a file
+- create / edit / delete a file (one `apply_patch`-style tool, or separate
+  write/edit?)
+- run a shell command
+- search file contents / find files by name (grep, glob)
+- fetch a URL / web search
+- **dispatch a subagent**, including how to pass the agent type — and any config
+  flag needed to enable it
+- **create / update todos** (treat older `TodoWrite` references as this action)
+- **invoke a skill** — see Step 5
+
+**Get the real tool names from the harness; never invent them.** If the docs
+don't list them, the authoritative source is the harness itself: in a live
+session, ask the model to "list the exact machine names of every tool you can
+call, one per line" and use what it reports.
+
+**How the harness finds the `skills/` directory is itself per-harness** — confirm
+it, don't assume. Possibilities: a manifest `skills` path field (Codex's
+`"skills": "./skills/"`); a *co-located* `skills/` the harness auto-scans (where a
+path field is **ignored** — one real harness only scanned a `skills/` sitting next
+to `plugin.json`); an API/registration call (OpenCode, pi); or you stage an
+install dir that pairs the manifest with a **symlink to the repo's `skills/`** and
+point the installer at the staging dir (verify the installer *dereferences* the
+symlink and copies the real files — confirm with `agy plugin validate`/`install`
+or the equivalent before relying on it). A `skills` path field is *not* portable.
+
+Where the mapping lives depends on shape:
+
+- **Shape A:** put it in `skills/using-superpowers/references/<harness>-tools.md`.
+  The agent reaches it from the bootstrap — `SKILL.md`'s "Platform Adaptation"
+  section links the per-harness references files. (Shape A harnesses have no
+  instructions file; the mapping is *not* inlined into the hook output.)
+- **Shape B:** the mapping is typically inlined into the bootstrap string you
+  inject (see the `toolMapping` constant in `superpowers.js`). pi keeps it in
+  *both* places — `piToolMapping()` inline **and** `references/pi-tools.md`. If
+  you maintain it in two places, update both, or the port is half-done.
+- **Shape C:** put it in `references/<harness>-tools.md` and pull it into the
+  always-loaded instructions file (e.g. `GEMINI.md` `@`-includes
+  `gemini-tools.md`).
+
+You may also add a one-line pointer to your harness in `SKILL.md`'s "Platform
+Adaptation" section so an agent reading the bootstrap knows where its mapping
+lives. This is the one edit to a `SKILL.md` a port may make — and only because
+that section is a pointer list, not behavior-shaping content. It does not violate
+the "don't edit skill bodies" rule (Part 1); do not touch anything else in any
+skill. (The list is a convenience pointer, not an exhaustive registry — not every
+harness is listed.)
+
+### Step 5 — Handle a harness with no native skill tool
+
+`using-superpowers/SKILL.md` tells the model to *never read skill files manually
+with file tools — always use your platform's skill-loading mechanism.* The point
+is "don't bypass the mechanism," not "never use file-read." What counts as "your
+platform's mechanism" depends on the harness — and for a harness with no skill
+tool, the documented mechanism *is* reading `SKILL.md`. So reading it there
+honors the rule rather than breaking it. Distinguish three cases:
+
+1. **Native `Skill`-style tool** (Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Gemini's
+   `activate_skill`): point the mapping at that tool.
+2. **Native skill *discovery* but no `Skill` tool** (pi, Antigravity): the harness
+   can find and list skills, but the model can't call a tool to load one. Get the
+   skills installed where the harness scans (pi registers via `resources_discover`
+   → `skillPaths`; OpenCode via its `config` hook; `agy plugin install` copies
+   them in), and tell the model to load a skill by **reading its `SKILL.md` with
+   the file-read tool when the skill applies** — the sanctioned mechanism here,
+   the way `references/pi-tools.md` states it.
+
+   **For the bootstrap itself, prefer a declared context file (Part 6).** If the
+   harness has a `contextFileName`-style manifest field — as Antigravity does —
+   ship a generated context file through the installer: it's guaranteed-loaded and
+   carries both the `using-superpowers` content and the tool mapping. That is the
+   strong, preferred path.
+
+   **Fallback — the surfaced skill index.** If there's no context-file field but
+   the harness surfaces each installed skill's name + description at session start,
+   you need *neither* a built index nor a runtime-list instruction — the harness
+   is the index, and `using-superpowers`'s own surfaced description can be what
+   triggers the model to load it. This is softer than a declared context file;
+   two things it does **not** give you, versus a context file / hook / in-process
+   injector — account for both:
+   - **It bootstraps *triggering*, not the *tool mapping*.** An injector prepends
+     `<harness>-tools.md` alongside `using-superpowers` every session. Here nothing
+     injects the mapping — the model only sees skill *descriptions* and must *read*
+     your `references/<harness>-tools.md` when it needs tool names. It works
+     because skills name actions (the model reads the mapping when it acts), but
+     it's softer than injection. Make sure the mapping is reachable from what the
+     model loads — e.g. linked from `SKILL.md`'s Platform Adaptation section and
+     installed alongside the skills — not just sitting in the repo.
+   - **There's no structural guarantee the trigger fires.** No `<EXTREMELY_IMPORTANT>`
+     wrapper, no dedup, no re-injection after compaction — firing depends on the
+     model choosing to act on a description it sees in the index. This is exactly
+     why the acceptance test is mandatory here: it is the *only* guarantee, so run
+     it on the model(s) your users will actually use, not just the strongest one.
+3. **No skill system at all:** there is nothing to register, and the *only*
+   mechanism is the model reading `SKILL.md` on demand. But the model can't read
+   what it can't find: `using-superpowers/SKILL.md` does **not** enumerate the
+   available skills, so on its own the model won't know which skills exist or
+   their triggers. You must supply a discovery path. Two options, and they differ
+   in durability: (a) generate a skill index (each `skills/*/SKILL.md`'s `name` +
+   `description` frontmatter) and place it *inside* the `<EXTREMELY_IMPORTANT>`
+   wrapper alongside the tool mapping (Shape B recipe above) so it's covered by
+   the dedup guard — but a build-time index goes stale as skills are added; or
+   (b) instruct the model to list `skills/*/SKILL.md` at runtime and read their
+   frontmatter to find a match — slower but never stale. Prefer (b) unless you
+   have a reason not to. Without either, a no-skill-system port loads the
+   bootstrap but silently never triggers any other skill.
+
+In cases 2 and 3, say plainly in your tool mapping that reading `SKILL.md` is the
+blessed path, so the model doesn't think it's violating the "never read skill
+files" rule. Don't go hunting for a `skillPaths`-style registration API in a
+harness that has no skill system — case 3 has none.
+
+### Step 6 — Add tests
+
+Match the existing per-harness test style:
+
+- **Shape A:** assert the hook's stdout has the exact JSON shape your harness
+  consumes, and that it contains the bootstrap. See `tests/hooks/test-session-start.sh`,
+  which validates each harness's output shape.
+- **Shape B:** a unit test that fakes the harness's plugin API and asserts the
+  lifecycle handlers register, the bootstrap injects once, the dedup guard
+  works, and (if relevant) compaction re-injection works. See
+  `tests/pi/test-pi-extension.mjs`. Add an isolated-install integration check in
+  the style of `tests/opencode/`.
+- If the bootstrap is cached, test that the cache behaves when the file is
+  missing (see the OpenCode caching tests).
+
+These automated tests cover the wiring; the live tmux run in Step 7 is what
+proves the integration actually triggers skills.
+
+### Step 7 — Install locally, then drive a live instance to verify
+
+You cannot confirm a port works by reading code. You have to run the harness with
+your in-progress port loaded and watch a real session — which is also how you
+produce the transcript the PR requires.
+
+**Install locally.** Point a *local* instance of the harness at your working
+tree, not a published build:
+
+- **Shape A / C:** install the plugin/extension from this repo's local path (or
+  symlink its directory into wherever the harness looks). Find the harness's
+  "install from a local directory / git checkout" path in its docs.
+- **Shape B:** register the local module — e.g. an `opencode.json` `plugin`
+  entry pointing at the local path, or pi resolving the `package.json` fields
+  from the repo.
+
+Reinstall after each change and restart the harness, since the bootstrap loads at
+startup.
+
+**Drive it with tmux.** Most harnesses are interactive REPLs/TUIs that can't be
+driven by piping stdin, so run the harness inside a detached tmux session and
+control it with `send-keys` / `capture-pane`. A harness may advertise a
+non-interactive "run one prompt" mode (e.g. `opencode run "..."`) — try it for the
+quick smoke check, but **don't depend on it**: these modes are frequently flaky,
+auth-gated, or trust-gated (one real harness's `--print` mode hung and timed out
+with no output every time). Be ready to do *everything*, including the smoke
+check, through tmux.
+
+**Clear the gates first, or tmux stalls silently.** Many harnesses block on
+first-run onboarding, a "do you trust this folder?" prompt, a sandbox mode, or a
+permission gate — and a detached tmux session will just sit there with no error
+while it waits. Before the run, pre-trust your scratch directory (in the harness's
+settings/config) or be prepared to answer those prompts via `send-keys`, and
+account for the harness's startup time in your first `sleep`.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Launch the harness detached, in a throwaway project dir
+mkdir -p /tmp/port-smoke
+tmux new-session -d -s port-test -c /tmp/port-smoke '<harness-launch-command>'
+
+# 2. Let it initialize — real TUIs take longer than you think (10s+ with a model
+#    handshake); tune this. THEN capture and clear any blocking modal before you
+#    type a prompt: first-run onboarding and "trust this folder?" are modal, so
+#    keystrokes sent during them select menu items instead of typing your prompt.
+sleep 12
+tmux capture-pane -t port-test -p          # onboarding / trust prompt? answer it via send-keys first
+# (e.g. tmux send-keys -t port-test Enter   # to accept a trust prompt — inspect before assuming)
+
+# 3. Smoke check: does the model know it has superpowers?
+#    Send the text and Enter as SEPARATE send-keys with a beat between them —
+#    sending them together races on some TUIs (Enter arrives before the text lands).
+tmux send-keys -t port-test 'What are your superpowers?'; sleep 0.4; tmux send-keys -t port-test Enter
+sleep 5
+tmux capture-pane -t port-test -p          # reply should show it knows its skills
+
+# 4. Acceptance test: exact prompt (note the escaped apostrophe), fresh session
+tmux send-keys -t port-test 'Let'\''s make a react todo list'; sleep 0.4; tmux send-keys -t port-test Enter
+# poll until the turn finishes — re-capture every few seconds, don't capture once
+sleep 8
+tmux capture-pane -t port-test -p          # PASS = brainstorming triggers BEFORE any code
+
+# 5. Save the transcript for the PR, then clean up
+tmux capture-pane -t port-test -p > /tmp/port-smoke/transcript.txt
+tmux kill-session -t port-test
+```
+
+tmux gotchas that bite here: wait after launch before the first capture; send the
+prompt text and `Enter` as *separate* `send-keys` calls with a short `sleep`
+between them (sending them together races on some TUIs), and `Enter` is a key name
+not `\n`; the agent's turn takes time, so **poll `capture-pane` in a loop** rather
+than capturing once; `capture-pane` shows only the visible pane, so for a long
+conversation use the harness's own transcript/log file as the record of truth;
+always `kill-session` when done.
+
+If the smoke check shows the model *doesn't* know it has superpowers, the
+bootstrap isn't loading — fix that before bothering with the acceptance test.
+
+---
+
+## Part 6 — Distribution and release
+
+A working integration in this repo isn't usable until a real user can install
+it. Distribution differs per harness ecosystem — find yours:
+
+| Channel | Example | What you do |
+|---|---|---|
+| Native plugin marketplace | Claude Code | Register in `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`; users `/plugin install`. The external `superpowers-marketplace` repo is the source of truth users install from — see the release steps in `CLAUDE.md`. |
+| External marketplace fork, synced by script | Codex | `scripts/sync-to-codex-plugin.sh` rsyncs the tracked plugin files into a separate fork repo and opens a PR. Read its include/exclude list so you ship the right tree (it deliberately drops repo-internal dirs and other harnesses' dotdirs). |
+| Git-URL extension install | Gemini, OpenCode | Users install from a git URL (`gemini extensions install …`; an `opencode.json` `plugin` array entry). Document the exact command. |
+| Package-manifest fields | pi | Declared through fields in the repo-root `package.json`; users install via the harness's package command. |
+| Local installer (plugin install) | Antigravity (`agy`) | A small `install.sh` that runs the harness's own `agy plugin install` against a staging dir holding the manifest, the skills, and a generated `contextFileName` context file (the bootstrap). Everything arrives through the install mechanism — *not* by editing the user's config (see below). |
+
+Then:
+
+- **A plugin installer may silently strip *undeclared* files — so make the
+  bootstrap a file the installer *recognizes*, never a user-config edit.** A
+  `plugin install` typically copies only the components it knows about
+  (skills/agents/commands/mcp/hooks/context) and discards anything else, so a
+  context file the manifest doesn't declare just vanishes from the install. The
+  fix is **not** to give up and write into the user's config (**rule 2**) — it's
+  to declare the bootstrap as a recognized component. In escalation order:
+  - **Ship a context file the manifest declares.** If the harness has a
+    `contextFileName`-style field (an extension-declared file it loads every
+    session), that is the strongest clean bootstrap: declare it, and the installer
+    preserves it *and* the harness loads it. Generate it at install time from the
+    live `using-superpowers/SKILL.md` + the tool mapping (wrapped in
+    `<EXTREMELY_IMPORTANT>`) so the installed bootstrap never drifts. This is what
+    `.antigravity-plugin/install.sh` does — `agy plugin install` reports
+    `✔ context : ANTIGRAVITY.md`, and a clean session reads `using-superpowers`'s
+    SKILL.md, loads `brainstorming`, and enters the brainstorming flow before any
+    code. **Verify with a marker** that the installer keeps the file and the
+    harness loads it: one porter wrongly concluded it couldn't, because they
+    shipped the file *without* declaring `contextFileName` and it was stripped as
+    unrecognized.
+  - **Otherwise lean on the installed `using-superpowers` skill itself.** If the
+    harness surfaces each installed skill's name + description at session start,
+    the `using-superpowers` description ("Use when starting any conversation…")
+    can prompt the model to load it — installing the skill *is* the bootstrap.
+    Softer (no guaranteed wrapper; it carries triggering but not the tool mapping
+    — see Step 5), so prefer the declared context file when available.
+  - If neither works, the harness cannot be cleanly supported yet — **say so**
+    and raise it, rather than hand-editing the user's config.
+
+- **Write install docs.** A `docs/README.<harness>.md` and/or a
+  `.<harness>/INSTALL.md` (see `docs/README.opencode.md` and
+  `.opencode/INSTALL.md`), plus an install section in the top-level `README.md`.
+  The only supported install action is **running the harness's own install
+  command** (`agy plugin install`, `gemini extensions install`, `/plugin
+  install`, etc.). Hand-copying skill files and editing the user's global/personal
+  config are *both* off-limits (rule 2 / the PR rules). If the harness has no
+  install command at all — its only surface is a user-owned config file — then it
+  fails the "deliver via install mechanism" rule, and you should raise that rather
+  than ship an installer that edits the user's files.
+- **Register the version.** If your harness introduces a *new* versioned
+  manifest, add its path and version field to `.version-bump.json` so
+  `scripts/bump-version.sh` keeps it in lockstep (read that file to see what's
+  currently tracked). A new manifest that isn't registered there will ship a
+  stale version. If your harness instead rides an already-tracked file — pi
+  declares itself in the repo-root `package.json`, which is already listed —
+  there's nothing new to add.
+- **If no existing channel fits, you're standing up a new one.** None of the four
+  rows may match your harness. If it needs a Codex-style external fork sync,
+  `scripts/sync-to-codex-plugin.sh` is the template to clone (note its anchored
+  include/exclude list and its PR automation). And whenever you add a new
+  per-harness directory, add it to the *other* harnesses' sync excludes (e.g. the
+  EXCLUDES list in `sync-to-codex-plugin.sh`) so your dotdir doesn't leak into
+  their distributions.
+
+---
+
+## Part 7 — Cross-platform / Windows
+
+Only relevant to the shell-hook shape. `hooks/run-hook.cmd` is a polyglot: a
+single file that's valid as both a Windows batch script and a Unix shell script.
+On Windows, `cmd.exe` runs the batch portion, which locates `bash` (Git for
+Windows, then `bash` on PATH) and runs the named hook script; if no bash is
+found it exits cleanly so the harness still works, just without injection. On
+Unix, the leading `:` makes the batch block a no-op and the shell runs the
+script directly.
+
+Two rules this enforces, which you must respect:
+
+- **Hook scripts are extensionless** (`session-start`, not `session-start.sh`).
+  Claude Code's Windows handling prepends `bash` to any command containing
+  `.sh`, which would double-invoke. Name your hook script without an extension.
+- Don't write per-OS variants of the hook script. One extensionless bash script
+  plus the polyglot wrapper covers all three platforms.
+
+`hooks/run-hook.cmd` itself is the authoritative implementation — read it. See
+`docs/windows/polyglot-hooks.md` for the background and rationale behind the
+dispatcher pattern.
+
+---
+
+## Part 8 — Submitting the PR
+
+- Target the **`dev`** branch. One harness per PR.
+- Fill in the PR template's **"New harness support"** section and paste the
+  complete acceptance-test transcript (the "Let's make a react todo list"
+  session showing `brainstorming` auto-triggering). A PR without this proof will
+  be closed.
+- Superpowers is a zero-dependency plugin. Don't add a third-party runtime
+  dependency. Adding a new harness is the one carve-out the contributor rules
+  allow, and even then keep it to what the integration strictly requires —
+  type-only imports that compile away are fine; runtime packages are not.
+- Don't touch skill bodies (Part 1). If you found yourself editing a `SKILL.md`
+  to make the port work, the fix belongs in your tool mapping instead.

+
+## Appendix B — Gotchas that have bitten porters
+
+- **Opt-in isn't a port.** If your human partner has to do anything per session
+  to get Superpowers, the acceptance test fails. Re-read Part 2.
+- **Wrong JSON field → silent failure or double injection.** Shape A only.
+  Confirm the exact field/nesting; Claude Code reads two fields without dedup.
+- **Hook-config schema varies per harness.** Shape A. Cursor's `hooks-cursor.json`
+  looks nothing like the Claude/Codex one (`version`, lowercase `sessionStart`,
+  relative command, no `matcher`/`type`/`async`). Match the closest existing file.
+- **Plugin-root env var differs per harness.** Shape A. The hook command uses
+  `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` (Claude), `${PLUGIN_ROOT}` (Codex), or a relative path
+  (Cursor). Use what your harness exports; the script re-derives the root itself.
+- **System-message injection.** Shape B injects a *user* message on purpose
+  (#750, #894). Don't "fix" it to a system message.
+- **Per-step vs per-turn callbacks.** OpenCode fires every step (per-call dedup
+  guard); pi fires per turn (lifecycle flag + `agent_end` reset). Copying one
+  harness's dedup strategy onto the other's callback frequency breaks injection.
+- **Message-object shape is per-harness.** Shape B. pi and OpenCode use
+  incompatible shapes; discover yours, don't copy a reference's object literal.
+- **Hunting for a skill-registration API that doesn't exist.** A harness with no
+  skill system (not just no `Skill` tool) has nothing to register — the model
+  reads `SKILL.md` on demand. Don't assume a `skillPaths` equivalent exists.
+- **Mapping in two places.** For in-process plugins the mapping may live both
+  inline and in a `references/` file (pi). Update both.
+- **The "never read skill files" line.** It means "don't bypass your platform's
+  skill-loading mechanism," not "never use file-read." On a no-skill-tool harness
+  that mechanism *is* reading `SKILL.md` — say so explicitly in the mapping
+  (Part 5).
+- **`.sh` on Windows.** Keep hook scripts extensionless (Part 7).
+- **Unregistered version.** A new manifest not added to `.version-bump.json`
+  ships stale (Part 6).
+- **Editing skills to fit the harness.** Never. The fix goes in the tool mapping.

+# Pi Extension and Evals Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add first-class Pi package support for Superpowers and add Pi as a Drill eval backend.
+
+**Architecture:** The Pi package is declared in the root `package.json` and loads existing `skills/` plus a small Pi extension. The extension injects the `using-superpowers` bootstrap into provider context as a user-role message on session startup and after compaction, with Pi-specific tool mapping. Drill gains a `pi` backend, Pi session-log normalization, and tests.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Pi TypeScript extension API, Node built-in test runner, Drill Python eval harness, pytest.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Pi package manifest and extension tests
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `package.json`
+- Create: `tests/pi/test-pi-extension.mjs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing package/extension tests**
+
+Create `tests/pi/test-pi-extension.mjs` with tests that import `extensions/superpowers.ts`, register fake Pi handlers, and assert:
+- root `package.json` has `keywords` containing `pi-package`
+- root `package.json` has `pi.skills: ["./skills"]`
+- root `package.json` has `pi.extensions: ["./extensions/superpowers.ts"]`
+- the extension registers `resources_discover`, `session_start`, `session_compact`, `context`, and `agent_end`
+- startup `context` injects exactly one user-role bootstrap message
+- `agent_end` clears startup injection
+- `session_compact` re-enables injection
+- the extension does not register `session_before_compact`
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests and verify RED**
+
+Run: `node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/pi/test-pi-extension.mjs`
+
+Expected: FAIL because `extensions/superpowers.ts` does not exist and `package.json` lacks the `pi` manifest.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement manifest fields**
+
+Update `package.json` with `description`, `keywords`, `pi.extensions`, and `pi.skills` while preserving existing `name`, `version`, `type`, and `main`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement `extensions/superpowers.ts`**
+
+Create a zero-runtime-dependency extension that:
+- locates the package root from `import.meta.url`
+- reads `skills/using-superpowers/SKILL.md`
+- strips YAML frontmatter
+- appends Pi-specific tool mapping
+- exposes `resources_discover` with the skills path
+- marks bootstrap pending on `session_start` and `session_compact`
+- injects a user-role bootstrap message in `context`
+- inserts post-compact bootstrap after leading `compactionSummary` messages
+- clears pending bootstrap on `agent_end`
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run tests and verify GREEN**
+
+Run: `node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/pi/test-pi-extension.mjs`
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+### Task 2: Pi tool mapping reference
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `skills/using-superpowers/references/pi-tools.md`
+- Modify: `tests/pi/test-pi-extension.mjs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing test for Pi reference doc**
+
+Add assertions that `skills/using-superpowers/references/pi-tools.md` exists and documents mappings for `Skill`, `Task`, `TodoWrite`, and built-in tool names.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests and verify RED**
+
+Run: `node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/pi/test-pi-extension.mjs`
+
+Expected: FAIL because `pi-tools.md` does not exist.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add Pi reference doc**
+
+Create `skills/using-superpowers/references/pi-tools.md` explaining Pi-native skills, optional `pi-subagents`, no canonical todo/tasklist plugin, and built-in lowercase tools.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests and verify GREEN**
+
+Run: `node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/pi/test-pi-extension.mjs`
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+### Task 3: Drill Pi backend and session log normalization
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `evals/backends/pi.yaml`
+- Modify: `evals/drill/backend.py`
+- Modify: `evals/drill/engine.py`
+- Modify: `evals/drill/normalizer.py`
+- Modify: `evals/tests/test_backend.py`
+- Modify: `evals/tests/test_normalizer.py`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing backend/normalizer tests**
+
+Add pytest coverage for:
+- `load_backend("pi")` returns `family == "pi"`
+- Pi backend command starts with `pi` and includes `-e ${SUPERPOWERS_ROOT}`
+- `_resolve_log_dir()` for Pi points under `~/.pi/agent/sessions`
+- `filter_pi_logs_by_cwd()` keeps only session files whose header `cwd` matches the scenario workdir
+- `normalize_pi_logs()` extracts `toolCall` blocks from Pi assistant session entries and maps built-in lowercase tools to canonical names
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests and verify RED**
+
+Run: `uv run pytest evals/tests/test_backend.py evals/tests/test_normalizer.py -q`
+
+Expected: FAIL because the Pi backend and normalizer do not exist.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add `evals/backends/pi.yaml`**
+
+Configure the backend to run `pi -e ${SUPERPOWERS_ROOT}`, use permissive TUI readiness, `/quit` shutdown, and Pi session log location.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement Pi family support**
+
+Update `Backend.family`, `Engine._resolve_log_dir`, `Engine._collect_tool_calls`, and `normalizer.py` with Pi log filtering and normalizing.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run tests and verify GREEN**
+
+Run: `uv run pytest evals/tests/test_backend.py evals/tests/test_normalizer.py -q`
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+### Task 4: Documentation and full verification
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `README.md`
+- Modify: `evals/README.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Document Pi install and eval backend**
+
+Add Pi to README quickstart/install list and add backend entry/usage to `evals/README.md`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run verification**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+node --experimental-strip-types --test tests/pi/test-pi-extension.mjs
+uv run pytest evals/tests/test_backend.py evals/tests/test_setup.py evals/tests/test_normalizer.py -q
+```
+
+Expected: all tests pass.

+# Platform-neutral config-file references — Phase B design
+
+## Background
+
+Phase A (see `2026-05-05-platform-neutral-prose-design.md`) replaced generic third-person "Claude" prose with agent-neutral forms. This phase tackles the next category: references to the per-platform instruction file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md) inside skills.
+
+The plugin runs on multiple harnesses, and each one reads its own instruction file. Where a skill names CLAUDE.md as if it were the only file, that's a Claude-Code-centric assumption that doesn't hold on Codex / Gemini CLI / OpenCode.
+
+## In scope
+
+Two specific lines in active skills:
+
+1. **`skills/writing-skills/SKILL.md:58`** — `Project-specific conventions (put in CLAUDE.md)`
+2. **`skills/receiving-code-review/SKILL.md:30`** — `"You're absolutely right!" (explicit CLAUDE.md violation)`
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- **`skills/using-superpowers/SKILL.md:22, 26`** — instruction-priority list. The list already names all three (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md) inclusively, which is correct: the section is making a real claim about *what counts as user instruction* on a multi-platform plugin. No change needed.
+- **Historical / example artifacts**:
+  - `skills/systematic-debugging/CREATION-LOG.md` — attribution path (`~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`) is a historical fact.
+  - `skills/writing-skills/examples/CLAUDE_MD_TESTING.md` — the entire file is a worked example testing CLAUDE.md content variants. The filename, body, and the reference from `testing-skills-with-subagents.md` all stay; normalizing them defeats the example.
+- **Platform-tooling references** — Phase D candidates:
+  - `skills/using-superpowers/SKILL.md:40` (Gemini CLI tool mapping note about GEMINI.md)
+  - `skills/using-superpowers/references/gemini-tools.md` (`save_memory` persists to GEMINI.md)
+
+## Substitution rules
+
+Two distinct calls, one per in-scope line.
+
+### Rule 1: "where to put project-specific conventions"
+
+`writing-skills/SKILL.md:58`:
+
+- **Before:** `Project-specific conventions (put in CLAUDE.md)`
+- **After:** `Project-specific conventions (put in your instructions file)`
+
+Use a generic phrase rather than picking one filename. Different harnesses read different files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, etc.) and the skill should not assume one. The platform-tools reference docs (`references/{codex,copilot,gemini}-tools.md`) are the right place to name each platform's preferred file.
+
+### Rule 2: the "(explicit CLAUDE.md violation)" parenthetical
+
+`receiving-code-review/SKILL.md:30`:
+
+- **Before:** `"You're absolutely right!" (explicit CLAUDE.md violation)`
+- **After:** `"You're absolutely right!" (explicit instruction-file violation)`
+
+The parenthetical is doing real work — it signals this phrase isn't just stylistically bad, it actively violates rules many users put in their instruction files. "Instruction file" is the natural cross-platform term covering AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md / GEMINI.md collectively, and keeps the original signal without picking one filename or softening to "common".
+
+## Commit plan
+
+Atomic commits, in order:
+
+1. **`writing-skills/SKILL.md`** — CLAUDE.md → "your instructions file" in the "where to put project conventions" line
+2. **`receiving-code-review/SKILL.md`** — CLAUDE.md → instruction-file in the violation parenthetical
+3. **Platform-tools reference docs** — add the preferred per-platform instructions filename (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, etc.) to each `references/{codex,copilot,gemini}-tools.md` so readers can resolve "your instructions file" to a real filename.
+
+Each commit message names "Phase B" and the slice.
+
+## Verification
+
+After each commit:
+
+- Read the surrounding paragraph to confirm grammar and meaning still parse.
+- `grep -n "CLAUDE\.md" <touched-file>` — no remaining hits in active prose (carve-outs already documented).
+
+After both commits:
+
+- `grep -rn "CLAUDE\.md" skills/` should return only the documented carve-outs (CREATION-LOG, CLAUDE_MD_TESTING and its inbound reference, the priority list in using-superpowers).
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not touch the priority list ordering in `using-superpowers/SKILL.md`. Reordering CLAUDE.md / GEMINI.md / AGENTS.md is an aesthetic change, not a substitution, and out of scope here.
+- Do not rename `examples/CLAUDE_MD_TESTING.md` or change its content.
+- Do not modify Gemini-CLI-specific tooling references (Phase D candidates).
+
+## Implementation note
+
+Phase B as written here covered three commits and the three non-Claude-Code platform-tools refs. Implementation went one step further: a fourth ref, `references/claude-code-tools.md`, was added in commit `8505703` for symmetry, so Claude Code's instructions-file conventions and tool-name list live alongside the others rather than implicitly in the surrounding skill prose. That addition wasn't anticipated in this spec but is consistent with its intent.

+# Platform-neutral prose — Phase A design
+
+## Background
+
+Superpowers ships to multiple agent runtimes (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI). Skill content and supporting docs were written first for Claude Code and use "Claude" in places where any runtime's agent applies. OpenAI's vendored fork (openai/plugins#217) attempted a wholesale rewrite that was actively wrong in places — rewriting historical attribution paths, model names, and platform-specific install instructions — and we want to avoid that mistake while still removing platform-centric prose where it is genuinely incidental.
+
+The full effort is broken into phases by reference category. **This spec covers Phase A only:** generic third-person prose mentioning "Claude" in non-platform-specific contexts. Later phases (config-file references, marketing copy, tool-name references) are out of scope here and will get their own specs.
+
+## In scope
+
+Generic prose mentions of "Claude" in:
+
+- `skills/*/SKILL.md` and supporting `.md` files in active skill directories
+- `skills/writing-skills/anthropic-best-practices.md`
+- `README.md` (only where the mention is generic prose, not platform marketing)
+
+Plus one coined-term rename: **Claude Search Optimization (CSO) → Skill Discovery Optimization (SDO)** in `skills/writing-skills/SKILL.md`.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- **Platform/runtime statements** — "In Claude Code:", install instructions, tool-mapping references. (Phase D candidate.)
+- **Config-file references** — CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md priority lists and "where to put project conventions" callouts. (Phase B.)
+- **Tool-name references** — `Skill`, `Bash`, `Read`, `Task`, `TodoWrite`. Skills are written in Claude Code's tool vocabulary; the existing `references/{codex,copilot,gemini}-tools.md` files map them. (At the time this spec was written, the plan was to defer or skip these. Phase E ended up doing them — replacing tool names with action language across active skills and unifying the platform-tools refs around the same vocabulary.)
+- **Marketing copy** in README — "Superpowers for Claude Code", platform-named install sections. (Phase C.)
+- **Historical artifacts** — `docs/plans/*.md`, `docs/superpowers/specs/*.md`, `CREATION-LOG.md`. These are dated, point-in-time documents; rewriting them rewrites history.
+- **Model identifiers** — Claude Haiku / Sonnet / Opus. These are real product names.
+- **Filename / URL references** — `CLAUDE.md`, `claude.com`, `claude-plugin/`, paths under `~/.claude/`.
+- **`anthropic-best-practices.md` filename** — the file remains named after its source even though we rewrite the prose inside it.
+
+## Replacement style
+
+Use a mix that reads naturally in English:
+
+- **Second person — "your agent"** when addressing the skill author about *their* runtime
+  - "your agent reads the description"
+- **Third person — "the agent" / "agents" / "an agent"** when describing system behavior generically
+  - "Future agents find your skills"
+  - "Use words an agent would search for"
+  - "Agents read SKILL.md only when the skill becomes relevant"
+
+Pick whichever fits the surrounding sentence; do not force consistency at the cost of awkward phrasing. Pluralize when natural ("future agents", "agents read") rather than always saying "the agent".
+
+### Carve-outs that stay as "Claude"
+
+- Model names: Claude Haiku, Claude Sonnet, Claude Opus
+- Filenames and URLs: `CLAUDE.md`, `claude.com`, `~/.claude/`
+- Branded platform name "Claude Code" wherever it refers to the runtime as such (handled in later phases)
+
+### Coined-term rename
+
+- **Claude Search Optimization (CSO) → Skill Discovery Optimization (SDO)**
+  - Appears in `skills/writing-skills/SKILL.md` as a section heading and in nearby prose. Rename the heading, the acronym, and any in-file cross-references.
+
+## Files affected
+
+Approximate counts based on a `grep` filtered to exclude carve-outs:
+
+| File | Generic-prose mentions |
+|------|------------------------|
+| `skills/writing-skills/SKILL.md` | ~12 (includes CSO heading + body) |
+| `skills/writing-skills/anthropic-best-practices.md` | ~30 |
+| `skills/writing-skills/examples/CLAUDE_MD_TESTING.md` | ~1 — filename stays (it's a CLAUDE.md test artifact); the "Variant C: Claude.AI Emphatic Style" heading also stays (it's a label naming a specific style) |
+| `README.md` | ~1 |
+
+Final list confirmed during implementation by re-running the filtered grep.
+
+## Commit plan
+
+Four atomic commits, in order:
+
+1. **Rename CSO → SDO** in `skills/writing-skills/SKILL.md`. Mechanical, isolated, easy to revert if we change our minds about the term.
+2. **Active skills prose** — generic "Claude" → "agent" forms across `skills/*/SKILL.md` and supporting `.md`, excluding `anthropic-best-practices.md`.
+3. **`anthropic-best-practices.md` prose** — same substitution rules. Separate commit because this file is a vendored adaptation of an external doc; isolating the change makes future reconciliation with upstream easier to read.
+4. **README.md prose** *(only if any generic-prose mentions remain after filtering)*. Skipped if empty.
+
+Each commit message names the phase ("Phase A") and the slice ("rename CSO to SDO", "agent prose in active skills", etc.) so the series is self-documenting.
+
+## Verification
+
+After each commit:
+
+- `grep -rn "Claude" <touched-paths>` — every remaining hit must fall into a documented carve-out (model name, filename, URL, "Claude Code" platform name, historical artifact).
+- Read the touched file end-to-end — substitutions should not have broken sentence flow, pronoun agreement, or list parallelism.
+- No tests to run; this is prose-only.
+
+After the final commit:
+
+- Skim each modified skill in a live session to confirm nothing reads awkwardly.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not change behavior, structure, headings (other than CSO→SDO), examples, code blocks, or YAML frontmatter.
+- Do not introduce new sections, callouts, or compatibility notes.
+- Do not "improve" prose beyond the substitution while editing.

+# Platform-neutral README ordering — Phase C design
+
+## Background
+
+Phases A and B (see `2026-05-05-platform-neutral-prose-design.md` and `2026-05-05-platform-neutral-config-refs-design.md`) already neutralized generic Claude prose and config-file references in the README. The remaining platform-leaning signal is layout: the README's two platform listings put Claude Code first and aren't strictly alphabetical elsewhere.
+
+This phase fixes the ordering. No prose changes.
+
+## In scope
+
+1. **Quickstart platform list** (`README.md:7`) — the inline link list of supported harnesses
+2. **Installation section ordering** (`README.md:35–152`) — the per-harness install sub-sections
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Prose, marketplace names, plugin IDs, URLs — all factually correct as-is.
+- Visual weight of the Claude Code section (which has two sub-sections — official Anthropic marketplace and Superpowers marketplace). Both are real install paths; collapsing them would hide accurate info.
+- Section headings and content within each install block — only the ordering of the blocks changes.
+
+## Substitution
+
+Both listings reorder to strict alphabetical:
+
+| Old order | New order |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| Claude Code | Claude Code |
+| Codex CLI | Codex App |
+| Codex App | Codex CLI |
+| Factory Droid | Cursor |
+| Gemini CLI | Factory Droid |
+| OpenCode | Gemini CLI |
+| Cursor | GitHub Copilot CLI |
+| GitHub Copilot CLI | OpenCode |
+
+Three moves: Codex App swaps with Codex CLI; Cursor moves up two slots; GitHub Copilot CLI moves up one.
+
+Claude Code remains first by alphabetical chance (`Cl…` precedes `Co…`).
+
+## Commit plan
+
+One atomic commit covering both listings, since changing one without the other would create inconsistency between the quickstart and the installation section.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Quickstart anchors (`#claude-code`, `#codex-app`, etc.) still resolve to existing `### …` headings — no headings renamed.
+- Each install sub-section's body is byte-identical pre/post; only positions changed.
+- `git diff README.md` shows section moves only, no content edits.

+# Lift drill into superpowers as `evals/` — design
+
+## Background
+
+Drill is a Python skill-compliance benchmark that lives in its own repo at `obra/drill`. It drives real tmux sessions, runs an LLM actor as a simulated user, runs an LLM verifier on the resulting transcript, and reports pass/fail per scenario. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and (per recent commits) OpenCode and Copilot CLI.
+
+Drill is already the *de facto* eval harness for superpowers. The PRI-1397 commit series in the drill repo lifted ~22 superpowers bash tests into drill scenarios, and the most recent superpowers commit (`a2292c5`) explicitly removed a redundant bash test with the message *"replaced by drill behavioral coverage"*. Migration momentum exists; this spec completes it.
+
+This work moves drill into superpowers under `evals/`, deletes the redundant bash tests after per-file verification of drill scenario coverage, and updates docs so contributors land on the new structure.
+
+## Goals
+
+1. `evals/` is the canonical eval harness in superpowers — full drill source, scenarios, fixtures, prompts, backend configs, and tests.
+2. Bash tests in `superpowers/tests/` that have been individually verified as 100% covered by drill scenarios are deleted; the rest are preserved.
+3. The split between `tests/` (plugin infrastructure: bash + node + python integration tests) and `evals/` (LLM behavior with actor + verifier) is meaningful and documented.
+4. Top-level docs (`README.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `docs/testing.md`) point contributors at the right place.
+5. The standalone `obra/drill` repo continues to exist (this PR does not touch it) and gets archived as a separate manual step after this PR merges.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- **CI integration.** Manual-only here. The natural follow-up is "tiered": fast subset on every PR, full sweep nightly + on-demand. That requires API budget decisions, GitHub Actions secrets, and a runner image with `tmux` + `node` + `python` + `claude` / `codex` / `gemini` CLIs installed. Out of scope.
+- **Scenario co-location with skills.** Scenarios stay centralized at `evals/scenarios/`. If we later decide each skill should own its scenarios, that's a path-find-and-rename operation; the YAML format does not change.
+- **Renaming the internal Python package** (`drill` → `evals`). The directory is `evals/` (user-facing); the Python package keeps its `drill` name to keep the diff small. A short note in `evals/README.md` explains.
+- **Drill repo archival.** This PR does not touch `obra/drill`. After merge, the drill repo is archived manually (read-only on GitHub, README pointer to `obra/superpowers/evals/`).
+- **Lifting `tests/claude-code/analyze-token-usage.py` into `evals/bin/`.** Useful utility, not test code. Can move later; not required by this PR.
+
+## Branching
+
+Branch off `dev` as `f/evals-lift`. This work is independent of the open `f/cross-platform` PR — no shared file changes besides possibly `README.md`, which is small enough to resolve at merge time if it conflicts.
+

+The `tests/` and `evals/` directories serve clearly distinct roles after this PR:

+- **`tests/`** — does the plugin's non-LLM code work? Unit and integration tests for the brainstorm-server JS code, OpenCode plugin loading, codex-plugin-sync sync verification. Bash + node + python.
+- **`evals/`** — do agents behave correctly on real LLM sessions? Drill scenarios with actor + verifier. Python-only, runs real tmux sessions.
+
+## Deletion gate (per bash test)
+
+A bash test is deleted *only if* a drill scenario verifiably covers every assertion it makes. The implementation plan documents this verification per file: read the bash test, list its checks, find the drill scenario, confirm each check has a matching `verify.assertions` or `verify.criteria` entry. If even one check is missing, the option is to either extend the drill scenario or keep the bash test. Default keeps it.
+
+**Tentative coverage map** (commit-message-based; needs per-file verification before any deletion):
+
+| Bash test | Claimed drill replacement | Coverage status |
+|-----------|---------------------------|-----------------|
+| `tests/skill-triggering/prompts/*` (6 prompt files) | `triggering-*.yaml` (6 scenarios) | candidate — verify per-prompt before deleting |
+| `tests/skill-triggering/run-test.sh`, `run-all.sh` | n/a (runners, not tests) | **keep** — runner scripts |
+| `tests/explicit-skill-requests/prompts/please-use-brainstorming.txt` | needs verification — drill has no obvious counterpart yet | likely **keep** unless drill scenario added |
+| `tests/explicit-skill-requests/prompts/use-systematic-debugging.txt` | needs verification — drill has no obvious counterpart | likely **keep** unless drill scenario added |
+| `tests/explicit-skill-requests/run-claude-describes-sdd.sh` | partially → `mid-conversation-skill-invocation.yaml` | candidate — verify per-script |
+| `tests/explicit-skill-requests/run-haiku-test.sh` | no drill scenario covers Haiku-specific behavior | **keep** |
+| `tests/explicit-skill-requests/run-multiturn-test.sh`, `run-extended-multiturn-test.sh` | no drill scenario covers multi-turn build-up | **keep** unless drill scenarios added |
+| `tests/explicit-skill-requests/run-test.sh`, `run-all.sh` | n/a (runners) | **keep** |
+| `tests/subagent-driven-dev/go-fractals/`, `tests/subagent-driven-dev/svelte-todo/` | `sdd-go-fractals.yaml`, `sdd-svelte-todo.yaml` | candidate — verify before deleting (these include real assertions about test suites passing) |
+| `tests/claude-code/test-document-review-system.sh` | `spec-reviewer-catches-planted-flaws.yaml` | candidate — verify before deleting |
+| `tests/claude-code/test-requesting-code-review.sh` | `code-review-catches-planted-bugs.yaml` | candidate — verify before deleting |
+| `tests/claude-code/test-subagent-driven-development-integration.sh` | `sdd-rejects-extra-features.yaml` (YAGNI subset) | **partial** — bash test also asserts ≥3 commits / `npm test` passes / runs `analyze-token-usage.py`. Drill scenario asserts forbidden-exports + reviewer-as-gate. Mostly disjoint — almost certainly **keep + extend drill scenario**. |
+| `tests/claude-code/test-subagent-driven-development.sh` | meta/documentation test (asks agent to *describe* SDD); no drill scenario covers description tests | **keep** unless drill scenario added |
+| `tests/claude-code/test-worktree-native-preference.sh` | `worktree-creation-under-pressure.yaml` | candidate — verify before deleting |
+| `tests/claude-code/test-helpers.sh`, `run-skill-tests.sh`, `analyze-token-usage.py` | n/a (utilities, not tests) | **keep** — libraries/tools |
+
+## Verification protocol (subagent-gated)
+
+Every change in the implementation plan gets cross-checked by an independent subagent before commit.
+
+| Change category | Subagent verification |
+|----------------|----------------------|
+| Each bash-test deletion | Dispatch a subagent with: (a) the bash test file content, (b) the candidate drill scenario YAML, (c) the prompt: *"List every assertion the bash test makes. List every verify entry in the drill scenario. For each bash assertion, find a matching drill check or report it as unmatched. Output a per-assertion table."* The subagent's output is the gate — only delete if every bash assertion has a match. |
+| Initial `evals/` copy | Subagent verifies: (a) drill SHA being copied is recorded in the lift commit message so provenance is auditable; (b) **per-file SHA-256 checksum** matches drill repo for every file (not just file count); (c) excluded paths (`.git/`, `.venv/`, `results/`, `.env`, `__pycache__/`, `*.egg-info/`, any `.private-journal/`) are absent from `evals/`; (d) all backend YAMLs reference paths that exist post-move; (e) `pyproject.toml`, `uv.lock`, `.gitignore` are intact. |
+| Drill's own pytest suite | Subagent runs `cd evals && uv run pytest` after the path-default change. Drill ships its own pytest suite at `evals/tests/` including `test_backend.py` which exercises `SUPERPOWERS_ROOT` env-var behavior — these tests must update to match the helper and continue to pass. |
+| Reference scrubbing after deletion | Subagent greps the entire superpowers tree (excluding `node_modules/`, `.venv/`, and `evals/`) for references to deleted bash test paths. Search targets: `docs/`, `docs/superpowers/plans/`, `RELEASE-NOTES.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `GEMINI.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `README.md`, `.github/`, `scripts/`, `.opencode/INSTALL.md`, `.codex-plugin/INSTALL.md`, `lefthook.yml`. Any hit is either updated or surfaces a missed dependency. |
+| Path defaults change (`SUPERPOWERS_ROOT` default) | Subagent runs at least one cheap drill scenario after the path changes (e.g., `triggering-test-driven-development`) and confirms it still passes. Real validation, not just code review. |
+| Final pre-PR adversarial review | Two subagents in parallel, "5 points to whoever finds the most legitimate issues" framing — same protocol used on the cross-platform PR. Verify both source code and behavior. |
+
+Each subagent task gets its own bullet in the implementation plan with explicit inputs and pass criteria. The subagent's output is summarized in the relevant commit message ("Subagent verification: …") so the trail is auditable.
+
+## Concrete path/config edits
+
+**Verified prior to writing this spec.** `drill/cli.py` defines `PROJECT_ROOT = Path(__file__).parent.parent`. After the move, `cli.py` lives at `evals/drill/cli.py`, so `PROJECT_ROOT` resolves to `evals/` and `PROJECT_ROOT.parent` resolves to the superpowers repo root. That's the value `SUPERPOWERS_ROOT` should take by default.
+
+**YAML substitution audit.** Only the four `claude*.yaml` backend configs interpolate `${SUPERPOWERS_ROOT}` into `args` (for the `--plugin-dir` flag); `codex.yaml` and `gemini.yaml` only list `SUPERPOWERS_ROOT` in `required_env` (consumed by `engine.py:233` / `setup.py:25`'s `os.environ["SUPERPOWERS_ROOT"]` lookups in pre/post-run hooks). The helper's `os.environ` mutation covers both code paths.
+
+| File | Current | After |
+|------|---------|-------|
+| `drill/cli.py` | `load_dotenv(PROJECT_ROOT / ".env")` at module import; nothing about `SUPERPOWERS_ROOT` | After `load_dotenv`, call new helper `_set_superpowers_root_default()` that sets `os.environ["SUPERPOWERS_ROOT"]` to `str(PROJECT_ROOT.parent)` if and only if not already set. Order: `load_dotenv` → set default → click group definitions. |
+| `drill/engine.py:233`, `drill/setup.py:25` | Direct `os.environ["SUPERPOWERS_ROOT"]` access (KeyError if unset) | Unchanged. The CLI startup hook guarantees the env var is set by the time the engine/setup execute. |
+| `backends/claude*.yaml` (5 files) | `${SUPERPOWERS_ROOT}` substituted in `args` for `--plugin-dir` | Unchanged. YAML substitution reads `os.environ` at backend-load time, which is after CLI startup. |
+| `backends/codex.yaml`, `backends/gemini.yaml` | `SUPERPOWERS_ROOT` in `required_env` only | Drop from `required_env` (the helper supplies it). `claude*.yaml` keep `required_env` for backward compat (env var works as override). |
+| `evals/tests/test_backend.py` | Tests assert `SUPERPOWERS_ROOT` is in `required_env` lists, plus path-resolution tests | Update tests to match the new contract: helper-supplied default, env override still works, `required_env` no longer required for codex/gemini. |
+| `evals/README.md` | "export SUPERPOWERS_ROOT=/path/to/superpowers" | Drop the export line; note that the env var auto-defaults to the parent of `evals/`; mention the only required setup is `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` (or `OPENAI_API_KEY` / Gemini auth). |
+| `evals/CLAUDE.md` | Same | Same |
+| `evals/.gitignore` | drill's existing patterns (`results/`, `.venv/`, `__pycache__/`, `.env`, `*.pyc`, `*.egg-info/`, `dist/`, `build/`, `.claude/`) | Copied verbatim. Patterns are relative to file location, so they apply correctly under `evals/`. |
+| `evals/lefthook.yml` | drill ships `lefthook.yml` defining `pre-commit: uv run ruff check && uv run ty check` | Move to `evals/lefthook.yml`. Either (a) install lefthook at the superpowers root and have it federate to `evals/lefthook.yml`, or (b) document that contributors run `cd evals && lefthook run pre-commit` manually. **Decision in implementation: option (b) for simplicity** — superpowers' top-level workflow doesn't change. |
+
+`.env` placement: keep `evals/.env` (gitignored). Contributors source it from there or set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` in their shell environment.
+
+**Top-level superpowers files needing small additions:**
+
+- `superpowers/.gitignore`: add `evals/results/`, `evals/.venv/`, `evals/.env` (belt-and-suspenders; evals/.gitignore already covers these locally).
+- `superpowers/CLAUDE.md`: add a one-line pointer "Eval harness lives at `evals/` — see `evals/README.md`" so agents discover it.
+- `superpowers/docs/testing.md`: split into "## Plugin tests" (existing tests/ content, with the deleted-test references trimmed) and "## Skill behavior evals" (one-paragraph summary + pointer to `evals/`).
+- `superpowers/README.md`: add a single line in the Contributing section pointing at `evals/` for skill-behavior testing.
+
+## Migration ordering
+
+Each step is a separate commit (or small group of commits). Step 2 is the biggest single commit (the verbatim drill copy); subsequent steps are small and atomic.

+   ├─ Record drill SHA at copy time → commit message
+   ├─ Use `rsync -a --exclude=.git --exclude=.venv --exclude=results
+   │  --exclude=.env --exclude=__pycache__ --exclude='*.egg-info'
+   │  --exclude=.private-journal /path/to/drill/ evals/`
+   │  (rsync chosen over `cp -r` for explicit excludes; verify with
+   │  `find evals -name '.git' -type d` returns nothing)
+   ├─ Subagent gate: per-file SHA-256 checksum matches drill repo for every
+   │  non-excluded file; excluded paths absent from evals/
+   └─ Smoke check: `cd evals && uv sync` succeeds (proves install only;
+      not a behavioral test)
+
+3. Update path defaults
+   ├─ Add _set_superpowers_root_default() helper to drill/cli.py
+   ├─ Wire it after load_dotenv, before click group definition
+   ├─ Update evals/README.md and evals/CLAUDE.md (drop SUPERPOWERS_ROOT install step)
+   ├─ Drop SUPERPOWERS_ROOT from required_env in codex.yaml/gemini.yaml
+   │  (keep in claude*.yaml as override)
+   └─ Update evals/tests/test_backend.py to match new contract
+
+4. Validate from new location (TWO checks)
+   ├─ Run drill's own pytest: `cd evals && uv run pytest` — must pass
+   └─ Run cheap drill scenario: `cd evals && uv run drill run
+      triggering-test-driven-development -b claude` — must pass.
+      Real behavioral validation, not just code review.
+
+5. Bash test deletion phase — per-file with subagent gate
+   For each file in the candidate-deletion list:
+   a. Subagent compares bash test assertions vs drill scenario verify block
+   b. Pass criterion: every bash assertion has a matching drill check
+   c. If pass → delete the bash test file (one commit per file or per
+      coherent group)
+   d. If fail → either extend drill scenario (separate commit + verify) or
+      keep the bash test (no commit)
+
+6. Stale-reference scrub
+   ├─ Subagent greps the superpowers tree (excluding node_modules/, .venv/,
+   │  evals/) for deleted file paths
+   ├─ Search targets: docs/, docs/superpowers/plans/, RELEASE-NOTES.md,
+   │  CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, README.md, .github/, scripts/,
+   │  .opencode/INSTALL.md, .codex-plugin/INSTALL.md, lefthook.yml
+   ├─ Update active references (e.g., docs/testing.md, README.md install)
+   └─ Historical references in docs/superpowers/plans/*.md and
+      RELEASE-NOTES.md are PRESERVED with a brief annotation
+      ("(test removed; behavior covered by drill scenario X)") rather
+      than rewritten — these are dated artifacts, not living docs.
+
+7. Top-level docs
+   ├─ docs/testing.md split
+   ├─ CLAUDE.md pointer
+   └─ README.md Contributing section
+
+8. Re-run smoke checks (regression gate)
+   ├─ `cd evals && uv run pytest`
+   └─ `cd evals && uv run drill run triggering-test-driven-development -b claude`
+
+9. Final adversarial review
+   └─ Two parallel subagents, full diff, "5 points to whoever finds the
+      most legitimate issues" framing. Address findings before push.
+
+10. Push branch + open PR against dev
+    └─ PR description includes: drill SHA pinned at copy, archival action
+       item ("after merge: archive obra/drill, add README pointer to
+       obra/superpowers/evals/"), per-deleted-file coverage receipts.
+```
+
+## Verification (post-implementation)
+
+The implementation plan must show:
+
+- All non-excluded drill source files present at `evals/` after step 2 (subagent **per-file SHA-256 checksum diff** vs `obra/drill@<recorded-sha>`).
+- Excluded paths (`.git/`, `.venv/`, `results/`, `.env`, `__pycache__/`, `*.egg-info/`, `.private-journal/`) absent from `evals/`.
+- The step-2 commit message records the drill source SHA.
+- `cd evals && uv sync` succeeds without `SUPERPOWERS_ROOT` set.
+- `cd evals && uv run pytest` passes (drill's own pytest suite).
+- `cd evals && uv run drill list` returns the same scenario count as the standalone drill repo at the recorded SHA.
+- `cd evals && uv run drill run triggering-test-driven-development -b claude` passes (proves path defaults work end-to-end).
+- For each deleted bash test: subagent verification table in the commit message showing every assertion mapped to a drill check.
+- Grep for deleted file paths returns zero hits across living superpowers docs (post step 6); historical refs in `docs/superpowers/plans/*.md` and `RELEASE-NOTES.md` are annotated, not rewritten.
+- `docs/testing.md` has both "Plugin tests" and "Skill behavior evals" sections.
+- The drill repo's history is untouched; `obra/drill` is unaffected by this PR.
+- PR description names the action item to archive `obra/drill` after merge.
+
+## Open questions
+
+None. All clarifying decisions have been made:
+
+| Question | Decision |
+|----------|----------|
+| Where does drill live in superpowers? | `evals/` (rename from drill); standalone repo archived as separate step |
+| Fate of redundant bash tests? | Delete per-file with subagent verification of coverage; default keep |
+| Scenarios layout? | Centralized at `evals/scenarios/` |
+| Python toolchain placement? | Self-contained at `evals/` |
+| CI integration? | Manual-only this PR; documented future path |
+| Migration mechanics? | Plain copy; drill repo's history preserved in archived repo, not in-tree |
+| Internal Python package name? | Keep as `drill` (directory is `evals/`) |
+| Branching strategy? | Independent off `dev` (not stacked on `f/cross-platform`) |

-# Testing Superpowers Skills
+# Testing Superpowers
 
-This document describes how to test Superpowers skills, particularly the integration tests for complex skills like `subagent-driven-development`.
+Superpowers has two distinct kinds of tests, each in its own directory:
 
-## Overview
+- **`tests/`** — does the plugin's non-LLM code work? Bash + node + python integration tests for brainstorm-server JS, OpenCode plugin loading, codex-plugin sync, and analysis utilities.
+- **`evals/`** — do agents behave correctly on real LLM sessions? Python harness driving real tmux sessions of Claude Code / Codex / Gemini CLI, with an LLM actor and verifier judging skill compliance.
 
-Testing skills that involve subagents, workflows, and complex interactions requires running actual Claude Code sessions in headless mode and verifying their behavior through session transcripts.
+## Plugin tests
 
-## Test Structure
+Live in `tests/`. Currently:
 
-```
-tests/
-├── claude-code/
-│   ├── test-helpers.sh                    # Shared test utilities
-│   ├── test-subagent-driven-development-integration.sh

-│   └── run-skill-tests.sh                 # Test runner (if exists)
-```
+- `tests/brainstorm-server/` — node test suite for the brainstorm server JS code.
+- `tests/opencode/` — bash tests for OpenCode plugin loading, bootstrap caching, and tool registration.
+- `tests/codex-plugin-sync/` — bash sync verification.
+- `tests/claude-code/test-helpers.sh`, `analyze-token-usage.py` — utilities used by remaining bash tests.
+- `tests/claude-code/test-subagent-driven-development.sh` — agent-can-describe-SDD test (no drill counterpart; tests description-recall, not behavior).
+- `tests/claude-code/test-subagent-driven-development-integration.sh` — extended SDD integration with token analysis (drill covers the YAGNI subset; bash adds commit-count, Claude Code task-tracking, and token telemetry assertions).
+- `tests/claude-code/test-worktree-native-preference.sh` — RED-GREEN-REFACTOR validation for worktree skill (drill covers the PRESSURE phase; bash also covers RED/GREEN baselines).
+- `tests/explicit-skill-requests/` — Haiku-specific, multi-turn, and skill-name-prompted tests not covered by drill.
 
-## Running Tests
+Run plugin tests via the relevant directory's `run-*.sh` or `npm test`.
 
-### Integration Tests
+## Skill behavior evals
 
-Integration tests execute real Claude Code sessions with actual skills:
+Live in `evals/`. Drill is the harness; scenarios live at `evals/scenarios/*.yaml`. See `evals/README.md` for setup. Quick start:
 
 ```bash
-# Run the subagent-driven-development integration test
-cd tests/claude-code
-./test-subagent-driven-development-integration.sh
+cd evals
+uv sync --extra dev
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...
+uv run drill run triggering-test-driven-development -b claude
 ```
 
-**Note:** Integration tests can take 10-30 minutes as they execute real implementation plans with multiple subagents.
-
-### Requirements
-
-- Must run from the **superpowers plugin directory** (not from temp directories)
-- Claude Code must be installed and available as `claude` command
-- Local dev marketplace must be enabled: `"superpowers@superpowers-dev": true` in `~/.claude/settings.json`
-
-## Integration Test: subagent-driven-development
-
-### What It Tests
-
-The integration test verifies the `subagent-driven-development` skill correctly:
-
-1. **Plan Loading**: Reads the plan once at the beginning
-2. **Full Task Text**: Provides complete task descriptions to subagents (doesn't make them read files)
-3. **Self-Review**: Ensures subagents perform self-review before reporting
-4. **Review Order**: Runs spec compliance review before code quality review
-5. **Review Loops**: Uses review loops when issues are found
-6. **Independent Verification**: Spec reviewer reads code independently, doesn't trust implementer reports
-
-### How It Works
-
-1. **Setup**: Creates a temporary Node.js project with a minimal implementation plan
-2. **Execution**: Runs Claude Code in headless mode with the skill
-3. **Verification**: Parses the session transcript (`.jsonl` file) to verify:
-   - Skill tool was invoked
-   - Subagents were dispatched (Task tool)
-   - TodoWrite was used for tracking
-   - Implementation files were created
-   - Tests pass
-   - Git commits show proper workflow
-4. **Token Analysis**: Shows token usage breakdown by subagent

-## Token Analysis Tool
-
-### Usage
-
-Analyze token usage from any Claude Code session:
-
-```bash
-python3 tests/claude-code/analyze-token-usage.py ~/.claude/projects/<project-dir>/<session-id>.jsonl
-```
-
-### Finding Session Files
-
-Session transcripts are stored in `~/.claude/projects/` with the working directory path encoded:
-
-```bash
-# Example for /Users/yourname/Documents/GitHub/superpowers/superpowers
-SESSION_DIR="$HOME/.claude/projects/-Users-yourname-Documents-GitHub-superpowers-superpowers"
-
-# Find recent sessions
-ls -lt "$SESSION_DIR"/*.jsonl | head -5
-```
-
-### What It Shows
-
-- **Main session usage**: Token usage by the coordinator (you or main Claude instance)
-- **Per-subagent breakdown**: Each Task invocation with:
-  - Agent ID
-  - Description (extracted from prompt)
-  - Message count
-  - Input/output tokens
-  - Cache usage
-  - Estimated cost
-- **Totals**: Overall token usage and cost estimate
-
-### Understanding the Output
-
-- **High cache reads**: Good - means prompt caching is working
-- **High input tokens on main**: Expected - coordinator has full context
-- **Similar costs per subagent**: Expected - each gets similar task complexity
-- **Cost per task**: Typical range is $0.05-$0.15 per subagent depending on task
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Skills Not Loading
-
-**Problem**: Skill not found when running headless tests
-
-**Solutions**:
-1. Ensure you're running FROM the superpowers directory: `cd /path/to/superpowers && tests/...`
-2. Check `~/.claude/settings.json` has `"superpowers@superpowers-dev": true` in `enabledPlugins`
-3. Verify skill exists in `skills/` directory
-
-### Permission Errors
-
-**Problem**: Claude blocked from writing files or accessing directories
-
-**Solutions**:
-1. Use `--permission-mode bypassPermissions` flag
-2. Use `--add-dir /path/to/temp/dir` to grant access to test directories
-3. Check file permissions on test directories
-
-### Test Timeouts
-
-**Problem**: Test takes too long and times out
-
-**Solutions**:
-1. Increase timeout: `timeout 1800 claude ...` (30 minutes)
-2. Check for infinite loops in skill logic
-3. Review subagent task complexity
-
-### Session File Not Found
-
-**Problem**: Can't find session transcript after test run
-
-**Solutions**:
-1. Check the correct project directory in `~/.claude/projects/`
-2. Use `find ~/.claude/projects -name "*.jsonl" -mmin -60` to find recent sessions
-3. Verify test actually ran (check for errors in test output)
-
-## Writing New Integration Tests
-
-### Template
-
-```bash
-#!/usr/bin/env bash
-set -euo pipefail
-
-SCRIPT_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)"
-source "$SCRIPT_DIR/test-helpers.sh"
-
-# Create test project
-TEST_PROJECT=$(create_test_project)
-trap "cleanup_test_project $TEST_PROJECT" EXIT
-
-# Set up test files...
-cd "$TEST_PROJECT"
-
-# Run Claude with skill
-PROMPT="Your test prompt here"
-cd "$SCRIPT_DIR/../.." && timeout 1800 claude -p "$PROMPT" \
-  --allowed-tools=all \
-  --add-dir "$TEST_PROJECT" \
-  --permission-mode bypassPermissions \
-  2>&1 | tee output.txt
-
-# Find and analyze session
-WORKING_DIR_ESCAPED=$(echo "$SCRIPT_DIR/../.." | sed 's/\\//-/g' | sed 's/^-//')
-SESSION_DIR="$HOME/.claude/projects/$WORKING_DIR_ESCAPED"
-SESSION_FILE=$(find "$SESSION_DIR" -name "*.jsonl" -type f -mmin -60 | sort -r | head -1)
-
-# Verify behavior by parsing session transcript
-if grep -q '"name":"Skill".*"skill":"your-skill-name"' "$SESSION_FILE"; then
-    echo "[PASS] Skill was invoked"
-fi
-
-# Show token analysis
-python3 "$SCRIPT_DIR/analyze-token-usage.py" "$SESSION_FILE"
-```
-
-### Best Practices
-
-1. **Always cleanup**: Use trap to cleanup temp directories
-2. **Parse transcripts**: Don't grep user-facing output - parse the `.jsonl` session file
-3. **Grant permissions**: Use `--permission-mode bypassPermissions` and `--add-dir`
-4. **Run from plugin dir**: Skills only load when running from the superpowers directory
-5. **Show token usage**: Always include token analysis for cost visibility
-6. **Test real behavior**: Verify actual files created, tests passing, commits made
-
-## Session Transcript Format
-
-Session transcripts are JSONL (JSON Lines) files where each line is a JSON object representing a message or tool result.
-
-### Key Fields
-
-```json
-{
-  "type": "assistant",
-  "message": {
-    "content": [...],
-    "usage": {
-      "input_tokens": 27,
-      "output_tokens": 3996,
-      "cache_read_input_tokens": 1213703
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Tool Results
-
-```json
-{
-  "type": "user",
-  "toolUseResult": {
-    "agentId": "3380c209",
-    "usage": {
-      "input_tokens": 2,
-      "output_tokens": 787,
-      "cache_read_input_tokens": 24989
-    },
-    "prompt": "You are implementing Task 1...",
-    "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "..."}]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-The `agentId` field links to subagent sessions, and the `usage` field contains token usage for that specific subagent invocation.
+Drill scenarios are slow (3-30+ minutes each) and run real LLM sessions. They are not part of CI today; the natural follow-up is a tiered model (fast subset on PR, full sweep nightly + on-demand).

-1. **Script execution**: Windows CMD can't execute `.sh` files directly - it tries to open them in a text editor
+1. **Script execution**: Windows CMD can't execute `.sh` files directly
 2. **Path format**: Windows uses backslashes (`C:\path`), Unix uses forward slashes (`/path`)
 3. **Environment variables**: `$VAR` syntax doesn't work in CMD
-4. **No `bash` in PATH**: Even with Git Bash installed, `bash` isn't in the PATH when CMD runs
+4. **`.sh` auto-prepend**: Claude Code on Windows automatically prepends `bash` to any command that contains `.sh` in its path — this interferes with the dispatcher if scripts have extensions
 
-## The Solution: Polyglot `.cmd` Wrapper
+## The Solution: Extensionless Scripts + Single Generic Dispatcher
 
-A polyglot script is valid syntax in multiple languages simultaneously. Our wrapper is valid in both CMD and bash:
+The repo uses one generic `run-hook.cmd` dispatcher for all hooks. Hook scripts are **extensionless** (`session-start`, not `session-start.sh`). This is deliberate: it prevents Claude Code's Windows auto-detection from prepending `bash` to the dispatcher command and breaking it.
 
-```cmd
-: << 'CMDBLOCK'
-@echo off
-"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" -l -c "\"$(cygpath -u \"$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT\")/hooks/session-start.sh\""
-exit /b
-CMDBLOCK
-
-# Unix shell runs from here
-"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/session-start.sh"
-```
-
-### How It Works
-
-#### On Windows (CMD.exe)
-
-1. `: << 'CMDBLOCK'` - CMD sees `:` as a label (like `:label`) and ignores `<< 'CMDBLOCK'`
-2. `@echo off` - Suppresses command echoing
-3. The bash.exe command runs with:
-   - `-l` (login shell) to get proper PATH with Unix utilities
-   - `cygpath -u` converts Windows path to Unix format (`C:\foo` → `/c/foo`)
-4. `exit /b` - Exits the batch script, stopping CMD here
-5. Everything after `CMDBLOCK` is never reached by CMD
-
-#### On Unix (bash/sh)
-
-1. `: << 'CMDBLOCK'` - `:` is a no-op, `<< 'CMDBLOCK'` starts a heredoc
-2. Everything until `CMDBLOCK` is consumed by the heredoc (ignored)
-3. `# Unix shell runs from here` - Comment
-4. The script runs directly with the Unix path

-## Requirements
+## How `run-hook.cmd` Works at a High Level
 
-### Windows
-- **Git for Windows** must be installed (provides `bash.exe` and `cygpath`)
-- Default installation path: `C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe`
-- If Git is installed elsewhere, the wrapper needs modification
+`run-hook.cmd` is a polyglot script: Windows treats the first block as batch
+commands, while Unix shells treat that block as a no-op heredoc and continue
+after it.
 
-### Unix (macOS/Linux)
-- Standard bash or sh shell
-- The `.cmd` file must have execute permission (`chmod +x`)
+Do not copy an implementation from this document. Read `hooks/run-hook.cmd`
+directly when changing the dispatcher, and run `tests/hooks/test-session-start.sh`
+afterward.
+
+### How it works on Windows (CMD.exe)
+
+1. The batch section validates the script name and resolves the hook directory
+   from the dispatcher's own location.
+2. It tries bash in three places:
+   - `C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe`
+   - `C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\bash.exe`
+   - `bash` on `PATH` (MSYS2, Cygwin, or a non-default Git install)
+3. If bash is found, it runs the named extensionless hook script from the hooks
+   directory.
+4. If no bash is found, the dispatcher exits `0` silently — the plugin
+   continues working, it just skips the hook.
+5. `exit /b` stops CMD before it reaches the Unix section.
+
+### How it works on Unix (bash/sh)
+
+1. `: << 'CMDBLOCK'` opens a heredoc on a no-op command.
+2. The entire CMD batch block is consumed by the heredoc and ignored.
+3. After `CMDBLOCK`, bash resolves the script directory and `exec`s the named
+   extensionless script directly.
+
+### Key design decisions
+
+| Decision | Why |

+| Extensionless scripts | Prevents Claude Code's Windows `.sh`-auto-prepend from interfering with the dispatcher command |
+| No `-l` (login shell) | Not needed; hook scripts should be self-contained and not depend on login-shell PATH setup |
+| No `cygpath` | Bash receives the Windows path directly and handles it correctly; `cygpath` was needed by the old `-c "..."` invocation pattern, not by direct exec |
+| Silent exit on no-bash | Avoids breaking the plugin for users who don't have Git for Windows; hook context injection is skipped gracefully |
 
 ## Writing Cross-Platform Hook Scripts
 
-Your actual hook logic goes in the `.sh` file. To ensure it works on Windows (via Git Bash):
+Your hook logic goes in the extensionless script file. A few portable patterns:
 
-### Do:
+### Do
 - Use pure bash builtins when possible
 - Use `$(command)` instead of backticks
 - Quote all variable expansions: `"$VAR"`
-- Use `printf` or here-docs for output
 
-### Avoid:
-- External commands that may not be in PATH (sed, awk, grep)
-- If you must use them, they're available in Git Bash but ensure PATH is set up (use `bash -l`)
+### Avoid
+- Relying on PATH-dependent tools without fallbacks (the hook runs without `-l`, so login-shell PATH is not set)
+- Giving scripts a `.sh` extension — this triggers Claude Code's Windows auto-prepend
 
-### Example: JSON Escaping Without sed/awk
+### Example: JSON escaping without external tools
 
-Instead of:
-```bash
-escaped=$(echo "$content" | sed 's/\\/\\\\/g' | sed 's/"/\\"/g' | awk '{printf "%s\\n", $0}')
-```
-
-Use pure bash:
 ```bash
 escape_for_json() {
     local input="$1"

-## Reusable Wrapper Pattern
-
-For plugins with multiple hooks, you can create a generic wrapper that takes the script name as an argument:
-
-### run-hook.cmd
-```cmd
-: << 'CMDBLOCK'
-@echo off
-set "SCRIPT_DIR=%~dp0"
-set "SCRIPT_NAME=%~1"
-"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" -l -c "cd \"$(cygpath -u \"%SCRIPT_DIR%\")\" && \"./%SCRIPT_NAME%\""
-exit /b
-CMDBLOCK
-
-# Unix shell runs from here
-SCRIPT_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)"
-SCRIPT_NAME="$1"
-shift
-"${SCRIPT_DIR}/${SCRIPT_NAME}" "$@"
-```
-
-### hooks.json using the reusable wrapper
-```json
-{
-  "hooks": {
-    "SessionStart": [
-      {
-        "matcher": "startup",
-        "hooks": [
-          {
-            "type": "command",
-            "command": "\"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/run-hook.cmd\" session-start.sh"
-          }
-        ]
-      }
-    ],
-    "PreToolUse": [
-      {
-        "matcher": "Bash",
-        "hooks": [
-          {
-            "type": "command",
-            "command": "\"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/run-hook.cmd\" validate-bash.sh"
-          }
-        ]
-      }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
 ## Troubleshooting
 
 ### "bash is not recognized"
-CMD can't find bash. The wrapper uses the full path `C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe`. If Git is installed elsewhere, update the path.
 
-### "cygpath: command not found" or "dirname: command not found"
-Bash isn't running as a login shell. Ensure `-l` flag is used.
+CMD couldn't find bash in any of the three locations the dispatcher tries. The dispatcher exits silently (0) rather than erroring, so the hook is skipped. Install Git for Windows at the standard path or ensure `bash` is on `PATH`.
 
-### Path has weird `\/` in it
-`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` expanded to a Windows path ending with backslash, then `/hooks/...` was appended. Use `cygpath` to convert the entire path.
+### Hook runs on Unix but does nothing on Windows
 
-### Script opens in text editor instead of running
-The hooks.json is pointing directly to the `.sh` file. Point to the `.cmd` wrapper instead.
+Check that the script filename is **extensionless** in `hooks.json`. A command like `run-hook.cmd session-start.sh` can trigger Claude Code's `.sh` auto-detection and bypass the intended CMD dispatcher path, or just try to run a non-existent `session-start.sh` script.
 
-### Works in terminal but not as hook
-Claude Code may run hooks differently. Test by simulating the hook environment:
-```powershell
-$env:CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT = "C:\path\to\plugin"
-cmd /c "C:\path\to\plugin\hooks\session-start.cmd"
-```
+### Hook doesn't fire at all
+
+Verify the `matcher` in `hooks.json` matches the event type your harness emits. Claude Code uses `startup|clear|compact`; Codex uses `startup|resume|clear`. Check `hooks-codex.json` for the Codex variant.

-You are reviewing code changes for production readiness.
+Use this template when dispatching a code reviewer subagent.
 
-**Your task:**
-1. Review {WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED}
-2. Compare against {PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS}
-3. Check code quality, architecture, testing
-4. Categorize issues by severity
-5. Assess production readiness

+    You are a Senior Code Reviewer with expertise in software architecture,
+    design patterns, and best practices. Your job is to review completed work
+    against its plan or requirements and identify issues before they cascade.

+    [DESCRIPTION]
 
-{PLAN_REFERENCE}
+    ## Requirements / Plan
 
-## Git Range to Review

-**Head:** {HEAD_SHA}
+    ## Git Range to Review

-git diff {BASE_SHA}..{HEAD_SHA}
+    **Base:** [BASE_SHA]
+    **Head:** [HEAD_SHA]
+
+    ```bash
+    git diff --stat [BASE_SHA]..[HEAD_SHA]
+    git diff [BASE_SHA]..[HEAD_SHA]
+    ```
+
+    ## Read-Only Review
+
+    Your review is read-only on this checkout. Do not mutate the working tree, the index, HEAD, or branch state in any way. Use tools like `git show`, `git diff`, and `git log` to inspect history. If you need a working copy of a different revision, check it out into a separate temporary directory (e.g. `git worktree add /tmp/review-[SHA] [SHA]`) — never move HEAD on this checkout.
+
+    ## What to Check
+
+    **Plan alignment:**
+    - Does the implementation match the plan / requirements?
+    - Are deviations justified improvements, or problematic departures?
+    - Is all planned functionality present?
+
+    **Code quality:**
+    - Clean separation of concerns?
+    - Proper error handling?
+    - Type safety where applicable?
+    - DRY without premature abstraction?
+    - Edge cases handled?
+
+    **Architecture:**
+    - Sound design decisions?
+    - Reasonable scalability and performance?
+    - Security concerns?
+    - Integrates cleanly with surrounding code?
+
+    **Testing:**
+    - Tests verify real behavior, not mocks?
+    - Edge cases covered?
+    - Integration tests where they matter?
+    - All tests passing?
+
+    **Production readiness:**
+    - Migration strategy if schema changed?
+    - Backward compatibility considered?
+    - Documentation complete?
+    - No obvious bugs?
+
+    ## Calibration
+
+    Categorize issues by actual severity. Not everything is Critical.
+    Acknowledge what was done well before listing issues — accurate praise
+    helps the implementer trust the rest of the feedback.
+
+    If you find significant deviations from the plan, flag them specifically
+    so the implementer can confirm whether the deviation was intentional.
+    If you find issues with the plan itself rather than the implementation,
+    say so.

The only reasons to stop are: BLOCKED status you cannot resolve, ambiguity that genuinely prevents progress, or all tasks complete.

+# Antigravity CLI (`agy`) Tool Mapping
+
+Skills speak in actions ("dispatch a subagent", "create a todo", "read a file"). On the Antigravity CLI (`agy`) these resolve to the tools below.
+
+| Action skills request | Antigravity CLI equivalent |
+|----------------------|----------------------|
+| Read a file | `view_file` |
+| Create a new file | `write_to_file` |
+| Edit a file | `replace_file_content` |
+| Edit a file in several places at once | `multi_replace_file_content` |
+| Run a shell command | `run_command` |
+| Search file contents | `grep_search` |
+| Find files by name / list a directory | `list_dir` (no dedicated glob tool — combine `list_dir` with `grep_search`) |
+| Fetch a URL | `read_url_content` |
+| Search the web | `search_web` |
+| Pose a structured question to your human partner | `ask_question` |
+| Dispatch a subagent (`Subagent (general-purpose):` template) | `invoke_subagent` with a built-in `TypeName` — `self` for full-capability work, `research` for read-only (see [Subagent support](#subagent-support)) |
+| Multiple parallel dispatches | Multiple entries in one `invoke_subagent` call's `Subagents` array |
+| Task tracking ("create a todo", "mark complete") | a **task artifact** — `write_to_file` with `IsArtifact: true` and `ArtifactType: "task"` (see [Task tracking](#task-tracking)). **Not** `manage_task`, which manages background processes. |
+
+## Invoking a skill — read its `SKILL.md`
+
+Antigravity surfaces every installed skill's `name` + `description` to you at the
+start of each session, but it has **no `Skill`/`activate_skill` tool**. To load a
+skill, **read its `SKILL.md` with `view_file`, setting `IsSkillFile: true`** when
+the skill applies — e.g. `view_file` on
+`.../plugins/superpowers/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` with `IsSkillFile: true`.
+(`IsSkillFile` is agy's own signal that you're reading a file to *execute its
+instructions*, not to edit or preview it — set it whenever you load a skill.)
+
+This is the blessed skill-loading mechanism on this harness. The general rule
+"never read skill files manually" means "don't bypass your platform's
+skill-loading mechanism" — and on Antigravity, reading `SKILL.md` *is* that
+mechanism. Reading it honors the rule rather than breaking it.
+
+You already know which skills exist and what they're for: their names and
+descriptions are in front of you at session start. When a description matches
+what you're about to do, read that skill's `SKILL.md` before acting.
+
+## Subagent support
+
+Antigravity dispatches subagents with `invoke_subagent`, passing each one a
+`TypeName` in the `Subagents` array. Two `TypeName`s are **built in** — use them
+directly, no `define_subagent` needed:
+
+- **`self`** — a full clone of you, with every tool you have (including
+  `write_to_file`/`replace_file_content`/`run_command`). The safe default for
+  general-purpose work: implementing, fixing, anything that edits files or runs
+  commands.
+- **`research`** — read-only (file reading, `grep_search`, web/URL fetch; no write
+  or command access). Use it when you specifically want a subagent that can't make
+  changes — investigation and read-only review.
+
+Call `define_subagent` only for a custom system prompt or capability mix: set
+`enable_write_tools: true` to grant file edits **and** `run_command`,
+`enable_subagent_tools` for nested dispatch, `enable_mcp_tools` for MCP. Then
+invoke it by the name you gave it. (`manage_subagents` lists/kills running
+subagents.)
+
+Skills dispatch with `Subagent (general-purpose):` and either reference a
+prompt-template file (e.g. `superpowers:subagent-driven-development`'s
+`./implementer-prompt.md`) or supply an inline prompt. On Antigravity:
+
+| Skill dispatch form | Antigravity equivalent |
+|---------------------|----------------------|
+| An implementer-style `*-prompt.md` template (writes code, runs tests) | Fill the template, then `invoke_subagent` with `TypeName: "self"` and the filled prompt |
+| A read-only reviewer template (`spec-reviewer`, `code-quality-reviewer`, `code-reviewer`, `requesting-code-review`'s `./code-reviewer.md`) | `invoke_subagent` with `TypeName: "research"` and the filled review template |
+| Inline prompt (no template referenced) | `invoke_subagent` with `TypeName: "self"` (or `"research"` if the task only reads) and your inline prompt |
+
+### Prompt filling
+
+Skills provide prompt templates with placeholders like `{WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED}` or
+`[FULL TEXT of task]`. Fill all placeholders before passing the complete prompt to
+`invoke_subagent`. The prompt template itself contains the agent's role, review
+criteria, and expected output format — the subagent will follow it.
+
+### Parallel dispatch
+
+Put multiple entries in a single `invoke_subagent` call's `Subagents` array to run
+independent subagent work in parallel. Keep dependent tasks sequential, but do not
+serialize independent subagent tasks just to preserve a simpler history.
+
+## Task tracking
+
+Antigravity has **no todo / `TodoWrite` tool** (`manage_task` manages background
+processes — `list`/`kill`/`status`/`send_input` — it is *not* a checklist). When a
+skill says to create a todo list or track tasks, maintain a **task artifact**: a
+markdown checklist saved with `write_to_file` (`IsArtifact: true`,
+`ArtifactMetadata.ArtifactType: "task"`), edited with `replace_file_content` /
+`multi_replace_file_content` as you go.
+
+At the start of any multi-step task, create the task artifact listing every step of
+your plan. As you complete each step, edit the artifact to mark it done (`- [x]`).
+If the plan changes, update the checklist. Keep it current — it is your source of
+truth for what remains; once the conversation gets long, re-read it before starting
+each step.

+Skills speak in actions ("dispatch a subagent", "create a todo", "read a file"). On Claude Code these resolve to the tools below.

+| Create a new file | `Write` |
+| Edit a file | `Edit` |
+| Run a shell command | `Bash` |
+| Search file contents | `Grep` |

+| Multiple parallel dispatches | Multiple `Agent` calls in one response |
+| Task tracking ("create a todo", "mark complete") | `TaskCreate`, `TaskUpdate`, `TaskList`, `TaskGet`; `TodoWrite` in `claude -p` / Agent SDK unless `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TASKS=1` is set |
+| Background-process / subagent lifecycle (read output, cancel) | `TaskOutput`, `TaskStop` — these are distinct from the todo tools above and apply to running shells, agents, and remote sessions |
+
+## Instructions file
+
+When a skill mentions "your instructions file", on Claude Code this is **`CLAUDE.md`**. Claude Code walks up the directory tree from the current working directory and concatenates every `CLAUDE.md` and `CLAUDE.local.md` it finds along the way. Standard locations:
+
+| Scope | Location |
+|-------|----------|
+| Project (team-shared) | `./CLAUDE.md` or `./.claude/CLAUDE.md` |
+| User global | `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` |
+| Local-private (gitignored) | `./CLAUDE.local.md` |
+| Managed policy (org-wide) | `/Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/CLAUDE.md` (macOS), `/etc/claude-code/CLAUDE.md` (Linux/WSL), `C:\Program Files\ClaudeCode\CLAUDE.md` (Windows) |
+
+CLAUDE.md files can pull in additional content with `@path/to/file` imports (relative or absolute, max five hops deep). Subdirectory `CLAUDE.md` files are also discovered automatically and loaded on-demand when Claude Code reads files in those subdirectories.
+
+Claude Code does **not** read `AGENTS.md` directly. If a project already maintains `AGENTS.md` for other agents, import it from `CLAUDE.md` so both runtimes share the same instructions:
+
+```markdown
+@AGENTS.md
+
+## Claude Code
+
+(Claude-Code-specific instructions go here.)
+```
+
+For path-scoped rules and larger-project organization, see `.claude/rules/` (rules can be scoped to specific files via `paths` frontmatter and load on demand).
+
+## Personal skills directory
+
+User-level skills live at **`~/.claude/skills/`**. Each skill is a subdirectory containing a `SKILL.md` (with `name` and `description` frontmatter) plus any supporting files. Claude Code does not currently recognize the cross-runtime `~/.agents/skills/` path that Codex, Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI read; if you're relying on cross-runtime support in the future, verify against the [official skills docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills).

-
-Claude Code skills reference named agent types like `superpowers:code-reviewer`.
-Codex does not have a named agent registry — `spawn_agent` creates generic agents
-from built-in roles (`default`, `explorer`, `worker`).
-
-When a skill says to dispatch a named agent type:
-
-1. Find the agent's prompt file (e.g., `agents/code-reviewer.md` or the skill's
-   local prompt template like `code-quality-reviewer-prompt.md`)
-2. Read the prompt content
-3. Fill any template placeholders (`{BASE_SHA}`, `{WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED}`, etc.)
-4. Spawn a `worker` agent with the filled content as the `message`

-| Skill instruction | Codex equivalent |

-| `Task tool (general-purpose)` with inline prompt | `spawn_agent(message=...)` with the same prompt |
-
-### Message framing
-
-The `message` parameter is user-level input, not a system prompt. Structure it
-for maximum instruction adherence:
-
-```
-Your task is to perform the following. Follow the instructions below exactly.
-
-<agent-instructions>
-[filled prompt content from the agent's .md file]
-</agent-instructions>
-
-Execute this now. Output ONLY the structured response following the format
-specified in the instructions above.
-```
-
-- Use task-delegation framing ("Your task is...") rather than persona framing ("You are...")
-- Wrap instructions in XML tags — the model treats tagged blocks as authoritative
-- End with an explicit execution directive to prevent summarization of the instructions
-
-### When this workaround can be removed
-
-This approach compensates for Codex's plugin system not yet supporting an `agents`
-field in `plugin.json`. When `RawPluginManifest` gains an `agents` field, the
-plugin can symlink to `agents/` (mirroring the existing `skills/` symlink) and
-skills can dispatch named agent types directly.
+Legacy note: Codex builds before `rust-v0.115.0` exposed spawned-agent
+waiting as `wait`. Current Codex uses `wait_agent` for spawned agents. The
+`wait` name now belongs to code-mode `exec/wait`, which resumes a yielded exec
+cell by `cell_id`; it is not the spawned-agent result tool.

-## No subagent support
+## Instructions file
 
-Gemini CLI has no equivalent to Claude Code's `Task` tool. Skills that rely on subagent dispatch (`subagent-driven-development`, `dispatching-parallel-agents`) will fall back to single-session execution via `executing-plans`.
+When a skill mentions "your instructions file", on Gemini CLI this is **`GEMINI.md`**. Gemini CLI loads `GEMINI.md` hierarchically: global at `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md`, project-level files in workspace directories and their ancestors, and sub-directory `GEMINI.md` files when a tool accesses files in those directories.
+
+## Personal skills directory
+
+User-level skills live at **`~/.gemini/skills/`**, with **`~/.agents/skills/`** as a cross-runtime alias (shared with Codex and Copilot CLI). When both directories exist at the same scope, `.agents/skills/` takes precedence. Each skill is a subdirectory containing a `SKILL.md` (with `name` and `description` frontmatter).
+
+## Subagent support
+
+Gemini CLI dispatches subagents through the `invoke_agent` tool, which takes `agent_name` and `prompt` parameters. The same dispatch is also surfaced as a chat-syntax shortcut: typing `@generalist <prompt>` is equivalent to calling `invoke_agent` with `agent_name: "generalist"`. Built-in agent names include `generalist`, `cli_help`, `codebase_investigator`, and (with browser tooling enabled) `browser_agent`.
+
+Skills dispatch with `Subagent (general-purpose):` and either reference a prompt-template file (e.g., `superpowers:subagent-driven-development`'s `./implementer-prompt.md`) or supply an inline prompt. On Gemini CLI:
+
+| Skill dispatch form | Gemini CLI equivalent |
+|---------------------|----------------------|
+| References a `*-prompt.md` template (implementer, spec-reviewer, code-quality-reviewer, code-reviewer, etc.) | Fill the template, then `invoke_agent` with `agent_name: "generalist"` and the filled prompt |
+| References `superpowers:requesting-code-review`'s `./code-reviewer.md` | `invoke_agent` with `agent_name: "generalist"` and the filled review template |
+| Inline prompt (no template referenced) | `invoke_agent` with `agent_name: "generalist"` and your inline prompt |
+
+### Prompt filling
+
+Skills provide prompt templates with placeholders like `{WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED}` or `[FULL TEXT of task]`. Fill all placeholders before passing the complete prompt to `invoke_agent`. The prompt template itself contains the agent's role, review criteria, and expected output format — the subagent will follow it.
+
+### Parallel dispatch
+
+Gemini CLI supports parallel subagent dispatch. Issue multiple `invoke_agent` calls in the same response (or multiple `@generalist` invocations in one prompt) to run independent subagent work in parallel. Keep dependent tasks sequential, but do not serialize independent subagent tasks just to preserve a simpler history.

+
+Pi discovers skills from configured skill directories and installed Pi packages. A Superpowers Pi package should expose `skills/` through its `pi.skills` manifest entry.

-## Overview
-
-This is a test feature that does something useful.
-
-## Requirements
-
-1. The feature should work correctly
-2. It should be fast
-3. TODO: Add more requirements here
-
-## Architecture
-
-The feature will use a simple architecture with:
-- A frontend component
-- A backend service
-- Error handling will be specified later once we understand the failure modes better
-
-## Data Flow
-
-Data flows from the frontend to the backend.
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
-Tests will be written to cover the main functionality.

-I have 4 independent test failures happening in different modules:
-
-1. tests/auth/login.test.ts - "should redirect after login" is failing
-2. tests/api/users.test.ts - "should return user list" returns 500
-3. tests/components/Button.test.tsx - snapshot mismatch
-4. tests/utils/date.test.ts - timezone handling broken
-
-These are unrelated issues in different parts of the codebase. Can you investigate all of them?
