b8d9f06cfb fix: close sibling-worktree loophole in already-inside path
Drill scenario worktree-already-inside-spec-aware revealed a latent
skill loophole: agents detecting existing isolation would correctly
refuse to nest a worktree, but then offer options — including exiting
to the main repo and creating a sibling worktree from there — and
execute the sibling option when the actor accepted.

The prior wording "Do NOT create another worktree" got read as
"don't NEST another worktree," leaving sibling creation as an
apparently-legal workaround that satisfied the agent's interpretation
of the directive while violating the skill's actual intent (use the
current workspace, period).

Fix: tighten the already-inside block to be explicit:
- Current workspace is the working environment, use it
- No alternatives, no creation — not nested, not sibling, not anywhere
- If the user genuinely needs different isolation for unrelated work,
  they have to exit the current workspace themselves

Validation pending via drill reruns of worktree-already-inside and
worktree-already-inside-spec-aware on this branch state.

884b1a5960 fix: treat direct worktree skill invocation as consent (PRI-974)
The skill previously required an explicit reply to its "do you want a
worktree?" dialogue, which produced obtuse UX when the user invoked the
skill by name — agents had to stop and ask "do you want a worktree?"
even though the user just asked for the skill whose purpose is worktrees.

Loosen Step 2 to recognize the invoking turn as consent: if the user's
most recent message named the skill, asked for a worktree, or asked for
an isolated workspace, proceed directly to Step 3 without re-prompting.
The gate still fires for the transitive case (agent infers isolation
from a feature description) — that remains the #991 failure mode.

Also trim "or skill invocation" from the anti-inference Red Flag and
destale the Integration section now that SDD/executing-plans no longer
require a worktree.

018f3675e5 fix: update stale references and restore silence safety net (PRI-974)
Post-inversion cleanup:

- executing-plans, subagent-driven-development: update Integration
  description from "Ensures isolated workspace" to "Detects workspace
  environment and offers worktree isolation on request"
- codex-tools.md: update step references (Step 0→1, Step 1→2)
- using-git-worktrees Step 2: restore "silence → ask once more" instead
  of "silence → work in place" to preserve safety net for confused users

7c4597af34 fix: invert worktree skill default to work-in-place, eliminating Step 0.5 (PRI-974)
Agents consistently skipped Step 0.5 (consent gate) because fractional
numbering signals "optional afterthought" and the prose-only step was
invisible to code-block anchoring. The fix inverts the structural
gravity: the default path now works in place, and worktree creation
is an off-ramp requiring explicit user request.

- Renumber to clean integers: Step 1 (detect) → 2 (offer) → 3 (create) → 4 (setup) → 5 (verify)
- Step 2 defaults to Step 4 (in-place); Step 3 only on explicit user ask
- Step 2 includes a code block so agents register it during execution
- Add "creating without being asked" to Common Mistakes
- Add anti-inference red flag: consent from task/plan/skill invocation doesn't count

b0e08a497f fix: promote consent to own Step 0.5 with structural enforcement (PRI-974)
Drill benchmark showed 0/4 consent compliance across both Claude Code
and Codex. Root cause: consent was buried inline in Step 0's conditional
branch. Agents anchor on the next bash command and skip prose.

Fix: promote consent to its own numbered section with imperative framing
("REQUIRED STOP", "Do NOT proceed without an answer") and exact output
template. Also adds explicit "no" path — users who want to work directly
on their current branch skip to Step 3 with no worktree creation.

Jesse flagged that the verbose CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md/GEMINI.md/.cursorrules

Replace with abstract "your instructions" framing in four spots:

- skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md Step 1b Directory Selection
- docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-06-worktree-rototill.md (both mirror locations)

998c40be29 docs: soften Step 1a native-tool framing per PR #1121 review
Address obra's comment on explicit step numbers / prescriptive tone.
Drops "STOP HERE if available", the "If YES:" gate, and the "even if /
even if / NO EXCEPTIONS" reinforcement paragraph. Keeps the specific
tool-name anchors (EnterWorktree, WorktreeCreate, /worktree, --worktree),
which the original TDD data showed are load-bearing.

A/B verified against drill harness on the 3 creation/consent scenarios
(consent-flow, creation-from-main, creation-from-main-spec-aware):
baseline explicit wording scored 12/12 criteria, softened wording also
scored 12/12. The "agent used the most appropriate tool" criterion
passed in all 3 softened runs — agents still picked EnterWorktree via
ToolSearch without the imperative framing.

98263ce179 docs: address PR #1121 review — respect user preference, drop y/n
- Consent prompt: drop "(y/n)" and add escape valve for users who
  have already declared their worktree preference in global or
  project agent instruction files.
- Directory selection: reorder to put declared user preference
  ahead of observed filesystem state, and reframe the default as
  "if no other guidance available".
- Sandbox fallback: require explicitly informing the user that
  the sandbox blocked creation, not just "report accordingly".
- writing-plans: fully qualify the superpowers:using-git-worktrees
  reference.
- Plan doc: mirror the consent-prompt change.

Step 1a native-tool framing and the helper-scripts suggestion are
still outstanding — the first needs a benchmark re-run before softer
phrasing can be adopted without regressing compliance; the second is
exploratory and will get a thread reply.

4c49406d22 fix: remove incorrect hooks symlink step from worktree skill
Git worktrees inherit hooks from the main repo automatically via
$GIT_COMMON_DIR — this has been the case since git 2.5 (2015).
The symlink step was based on an incorrect premise from PR #965
and also fails in practice (.git is a file in worktrees, not a dir).

238167f291 docs: cross-platform validation on 5 harnesses (PRI-974)
Tested on Gemini CLI (gemini -p) and Cursor Agent (cursor-agent -p):
- Gemini: Step 0 detection 1/1, Step 1b fallback 1/1
- Cursor: Step 0 detection 1/1, Step 1b fallback 1/1

Both correctly identified no native agent-callable worktree tool,
fell through to git worktree add, and performed safety verification.
Both correctly detected existing worktrees and skipped creation.

5 of 6 harnesses now tested. Only OpenCode untested (no CLI access).

118d85b7e7 docs: honest cross-platform validation table in spec (PRI-974)
Research confirmed Claude Code is currently the only harness with an
agent-callable mid-session worktree tool. All others either create
worktrees before the agent starts (Codex App, Gemini, Cursor) or have
no native support (Codex CLI, OpenCode).

Table now shows: what was actually tested (Claude Code 50/50, Codex CLI
6/6), what was simulated (Codex App 1/1), and what's untested (Gemini,
Cursor, OpenCode). Step 1a is forward-compatible for when other
harnesses add agent-callable tools.

0f4d7d67c1 docs: update spec with TDD findings on Step 1a (PRI-974)
Step 1a's original "deliberately short, abstract" design was disproven
by TDD (2/6 pass rate). Spec now documents the validated approach:
explicit tool naming + consent bridge + red flag (50/50 pass rate).

- Design Principles: updated to reflect explicit naming over abstraction
- Step 1a: replaced abstract text with validated approach, added design
  note explaining the TDD revision and why file splitting was unnecessary
- Risks: Step 1a risk marked RESOLVED with cross-platform validation table
  and residual risk note about upstream tool description dependency

61ad4821da fix: Step 1a validated through TDD — explicit naming + consent bridge (PRI-974)
Step 1a failed at 2/6 with the spec's original abstract text ("use your
native tool"). Three REFACTOR iterations found what works (50/50 runs):

1. Explicit tool naming — "do you have EnterWorktree, WorktreeCreate..."
   transforms interpretation into factual toolkit check
2. Consent bridge — "user's consent is your authorization" directly
   addresses EnterWorktree's "ONLY when user explicitly asks" guardrail
3. Red Flag entry naming the specific anti-pattern

File split was tested but proven unnecessary — the fix is the Step 1a
text quality, not physical separation of git commands. Control test
with full 240-line skill (all git commands visible) passed 20/20.

Test script updated: supports batch runs (./test.sh green 20), "all"
phase, and checks absence of git worktree add (reliable signal) rather
than presence of EnterWorktree text (agent sometimes omits tool name).

  use the native skill tool, not read files by path
- Fix test setup to create a consistent layout matching the plugin's
  ../../skills resolution
- Export SUPERPOWERS_SKILLS_DIR from setup.sh so tests use a single
  source of truth

0f306f0d18 Merge branch 'fix/owner-pid-lifecycle' into dev 2026-03-24 16:13:30 -07:00
Jesse Vincent
af025aa35b Fix owner-PID lifecycle monitoring for cross-platform reliability
Two bugs caused the brainstorm server to self-terminate within 60s:

1. ownerAlive() treated EPERM (permission denied) as "process dead".
   When the owner PID belongs to a different user (Tailscale SSH,
   system daemons), process.kill(pid, 0) throws EPERM — but the
   process IS alive. Fixed: return e.code === 'EPERM'.

2. On WSL, the grandparent PID resolves to a short-lived subprocess
   that exits before the first 60s lifecycle check. The PID is
   genuinely dead (ESRCH), so the EPERM fix alone doesn't help.
   Fixed: validate the owner PID at server startup — if it's already
   dead, it was a bad resolution, so disable monitoring and rely on
   the 30-minute idle timeout.

This also removes the Windows/MSYS2-specific OWNER_PID="" carve-out
from start-server.sh, since the server now handles invalid PIDs
generically at startup regardless of platform.

Tested on Linux (magic-kingdom) via Tailscale SSH:
- Root-owned owner PID (EPERM): server survives ✓
- Dead owner PID at startup (WSL sim): monitoring disabled, survives ✓
- Valid owner that dies: server shuts down within 60s ✓

Fixes #879

Jesse Vincent
738a18d6ff Fix owner-PID false positive when owner runs as different user
ownerAlive() treated EPERM (permission denied) the same as ESRCH
(process not found), causing the server to self-terminate within 60s
whenever the owner process ran as a different user. This affected WSL
(owner is a Windows process), Tailscale SSH, and any cross-user
scenario.

The fix: `return e.code === 'EPERM'` — if we get permission denied,
the process is alive; we just can't signal it.

Tested on Linux via Tailscale SSH with a root-owned grandparent PID:
- Server survives past the 60s lifecycle check (EPERM = alive)
- Server still shuts down when owner genuinely dies (ESRCH = dead)

bf8f7572eb Replace subagent review loops with lightweight inline self-review
The subagent review loop (dispatching a fresh agent to review plans/specs)
doubled execution time (~25 min overhead) without measurably improving plan
quality. Regression testing across 5 versions (v3.6.0 through v5.0.4) with
5 trials each showed identical plan sizes, task counts, and quality scores
regardless of whether the review loop ran.

Changes:
- writing-plans: Replace subagent Plan Review Loop with inline Self-Review
  checklist (spec coverage, placeholder scan, type consistency)
- writing-plans: Add explicit "No Placeholders" section listing plan failures
  (TBD, vague descriptions, undefined references, "similar to Task N")
- brainstorming: Replace subagent Spec Review Loop with inline Spec Self-Review
  (placeholder scan, internal consistency, scope check, ambiguity check)
- Both skills now use "look at it with fresh eyes" framing

Testing: 5 trials with the new skill show self-review catches 3-5 real bugs
per run (spawn positions, API mismatches, seed bugs, grid indexing) in ~30s
instead of ~25 min. Remaining defects are comparable to the subagent approach.

The plugin's new `config` hook injects the skills directory into
OpenCode's live config singleton, so skills are discovered automatically
without symlinks or manual config edits.

Installation is now just adding one line to opencode.json:
  "plugin": ["superpowers@git+https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git"]

Rewrote docs/README.opencode.md and .opencode/INSTALL.md to reflect
the new approach, removing ~200 lines of platform-specific symlink
instructions. Added migration notes for existing users.

4e7c0842f8 feat: add Cursor-compatible hooks and fix platform detection
Add hooks/hooks-cursor.json with Cursor's camelCase format (sessionStart,
version: 1) and update .cursor-plugin/plugin.json to reference it. Uses
${CURSOR_PLUGIN_ROOT} and run-hook.cmd for cross-platform support.

Fix session-start platform detection: check CURSOR_PLUGIN_ROOT first
(Cursor may also set CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT), ensuring correct output format
for each platform.

Based on PR #709 with fixes for: wrong filename (.sh extension), missing
Windows support, fragile relative paths, and incorrect platform detection.

537ec640fd fix(hooks): replace heredoc with printf to fix bash 5.3+ hang
Bash 5.3 has a regression where heredoc variable expansion blocks when
content exceeds ~512 bytes. The session_context variable is ~4,500 bytes,
causing the SessionStart hook to hang indefinitely on macOS with Homebrew
bash 5.3+. Replace cat <<EOF with printf.

Tested on Linux (bash 5.2) and Windows (Git Bash 5.2). The hang only
affects 5.3+ but printf works correctly on all versions.

Based on #572, closes #572. Fixes #571.

Replace ${BASH_SOURCE[0]:-$0} with $0 in hooks/session-start and the

causes 'Bad substitution' on systems where /bin/sh is dash (Ubuntu).

Since session-start is always executed (never sourced), $0 and
BASH_SOURCE give the same result. Tested on Linux (bash + dash) and
Windows (Git Bash via CMD and direct).

3188953b0c Release v5.0.2: Subagent context isolation, zero-dep brainstorm server
Subagent Context Isolation:

All delegation skills (brainstorming, parallel agents, code review,
subagent-driven development, writing plans) now explicitly instruct the
dispatching agent to construct review context from scratch — never
forward session history to subagents.

This fixes a problem observed with Codex, where subagents inherited the
full parent session context including the dispatcher's internal
reasoning, prior conversation, and user-facing tone. Reviewers that
inherited this context behaved as if they were the lead developer rather
than a reviewer — they'd reject reasonable code for not matching
unstated preferences, demand rewrites beyond scope, and treat advisory
feedback as blocking. The fix is simple: the dispatcher crafts precisely
what each subagent needs (the spec, the code, the review criteria) and
nothing else. This keeps reviewers focused on the work product, not the
thought process that produced it, and also preserves the dispatcher's
own context window for coordination.

Zero-Dependency Brainstorm Server:

The brainstorm visual companion server has been rewritten from scratch
as a single zero-dependency Node.js file. The previous implementation
vendored Express, ws, chokidar, and 714 npm packages (84,000+ lines of
third-party code) — a supply chain surface area that was
disproportionate to what the server actually does.

The new server.js (~340 lines) implements everything with Node built-ins
only: RFC 6455 WebSocket protocol, HTTP server with template wrapping,
fs.watch with debounce, and lifecycle management.

731 files changed, 1,700 insertions, 85,000 deletions. The entire
vendored node_modules/ directory is gone.

Server Lifecycle Management:

The brainstorm server now automatically shuts down when no longer
needed, preventing orphaned processes. Owner process tracking captures
the harness PID at startup and checks every 60 seconds. 30-minute idle
timeout as fallback. The visual companion guide now instructs agents to
check .server-info before each write and restart if .server-stopped
exists.

9ccce3bf07 Add context isolation principle to all delegation skills
Subagents should never inherit the parent session's context or history.
The dispatcher constructs exactly what each subagent needs, keeping
both sides focused: the subagent on its task, the controller on
coordination.

b484bae134 Fix owner PID tracking: resolve grandparent to get actual harness PID
$PPID inside start-server.sh is the ephemeral shell the harness spawns
to run the script — it dies immediately when the script exits, causing
the server to shut down after ~60s. Now resolves grandparent PID via
`ps -o ppid= -p $PPID` to get the actual harness process (e.g. claude).

ec99b7c4a4 Exit server when owner process dies (harness-agnostic cleanup)
start-server.sh passes $PPID as BRAINSTORM_OWNER_PID to the server.
The server checks every 60s if the owner process is still alive
(kill -0). If it's gone, the server shuts down immediately —
deletes .server-info, writes .server-stopped, exits cleanly.
Works across all harnesses (CC, Codex, Gemini CLI) since it
tracks the shell process that launched the script, which dies
when the harness dies.

263e3268f4 Auto-exit server after 30 minutes idle, add liveness check to skill
Server tracks activity (HTTP requests, WebSocket messages, file
changes) and exits after 30 minutes of inactivity. On exit, deletes
.server-info and writes .server-stopped with reason. Visual companion
guide now instructs agents to check .server-info before each screen
push and restart if needed. Works on all harnesses, not just CC.

9d2b886211 Fix brainstorming skill: add spec review loop to checklist and flow diagram
The spec review loop (dispatch spec-document-reviewer subagent, iterate
until approved) existed in the prose "After the Design" section but was
missing from both the checklist and the process flow diagram. Since agents
follow the diagram and checklist more reliably than prose, the spec review
step was being skipped entirely.

Added step 7 (spec review loop) to the checklist and a corresponding
"Spec review loop" → "Spec review passed?" node pair to the dot graph.

Tested with claude --plugin-dir and claude-session-driver: worker now
correctly dispatches the spec-document-reviewer subagent after writing
the design doc and before presenting to the user for review.

Fixes #677.

ec26561aaa Merge PR #585: fix single quotes in SessionStart hook for Windows/Linux
Use escaped double quotes instead of single quotes around
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path in hooks.json.

Single quotes fail on Windows (cmd.exe doesn't recognize them as path
delimiters) and on Linux when the shell doesn't expand the variable.

Verified the fix works across all combinations:
- macOS bash, path without spaces: pass
- macOS bash, path with spaces: pass
- Windows cmd.exe, path without spaces: FAILED with single quotes, PASS with double quotes
- Windows cmd.exe, path with spaces: FAILED with single quotes, PASS with double quotes
- Windows Git Bash: pass (both quote styles work here)

Testing was done on a Windows 11 (NT 10.0.26200.0) dev box with
Claude Code 2.1.72 and Git for Windows. The single-quote bug only
manifests when cmd.exe is the executing shell (no Git Bash fallback),
which explains why some users hit it and others don't.

Closes #577, closes #644.

9df7269d73 Move Gemini extension to repo root for cross-platform support
Symlinks inside .gemini/ don't work on Windows. Moving
gemini-extension.json and GEMINI.md to the repo root means
the extension root IS the repo root, so skills/ is found
naturally without symlinks.

c5e6eaf411 refactor: replace MCP server with native Gemini CLI extension
Remove the custom MCP server (find_skills/use_skill tools) and
force-invoke GEMINI.md. Gemini CLI natively supports the Agent Skills
format — our skills/ directory works as-is.

GEMINI.md now uses @import to inline using-superpowers content at
session start. Needs testing to verify @import resolves relative
to the extension root.

bdd45c70ab WIP: Gemini CLI extension infrastructure
Add experimental Gemini CLI extension with MCP server that exposes
skills as individual tools. Infrastructure works but auto-triggering
skills is blocked by Gemini CLI treating context files as advisory
rather than executable instructions.

See issue #128 for detailed findings.

- gemini-extension.json manifest
- MCP server with individual skill tools
- GEMINI.md bootstrap attempts (don't work)
- Installation documentation

ec3f7f1027 fix(brainstorming): add user review gate between spec and writing-plans
After the spec review loop passes, the skill now asks the user to review
the written spec file before invoking writing-plans. This prevents the

user a chance to read and adjust the written document.

5fbefbd0a9 fix: restore polyglot wrapper to fix Windows hook window spawning
Claude Code spawns hook commands with shell:true + windowsHide:true,
but on Windows the execution chain cmd.exe -> bash.exe causes Git
Bash (MSYS2) to allocate its own console window, bypassing the hide
flag. This creates visible terminal windows that steal focus on every
SessionStart event (startup, resume, clear, compact).

The fix:
- Rename session-start.sh to session-start (no extension) so Claude
  Code's .sh auto-detection regex doesn't fire and prepend "bash"
- Restore run-hook.cmd polyglot wrapper to control bash invocation
  on Windows (tries known Git Bash paths, then PATH, then exits
  silently if no bash found)
- On Unix, the polyglot's shell portion runs the script directly

This avoids Claude Code's broken .sh auto-prepend, gives us control
over how bash is invoked on Windows, and gracefully handles missing
bash instead of erroring.

7f2ee614b6 Enforce brainstorming workflow with hard gates and process flow
The brainstorming skill described a process but didn't enforce it. Models
would skip the design phase and jump straight to implementation skills
like frontend-design, or collapse the entire brainstorming process into
a single text block.

Changes to brainstorming skill:
- Add HARD-GATE: no implementation until design is approved
- Add explicit checklist that maps to task items
- Add graphviz process flow with writing-plans as terminal state
- Add anti-pattern callout for "too simple to need a design"
- Scale design sections by section complexity, not project complexity
- Make writing-plans the only valid next skill after brainstorming

Changes to using-superpowers skill:
- Add EnterPlanMode intercept to workflow graph
- Route plan mode attempts through brainstorming skill instead

Tested with claude -p --plugin-dir across three variants (no skill,
original skill, updated skill) to verify behavioral compliance.

038abed026 fix: replace O(n^2) escape_for_json with parameter substitution
The character-by-character loop using ${input:$i:1} was O(n^2) in
bash due to substring copy overhead. On Windows Git Bash this took
60+ seconds, freezing terminal input even with async hooks.

Replaced with bash parameter substitution (${s//old/new}) which runs
each pattern as a single C-level pass. 7x faster on macOS, expected
to be dramatically faster on Windows Git Bash where the original
caused the worst hangs.

Running the hook async prevents the freeze while still injecting
superpowers context. Multiple users confirmed this workaround.

* fix: update Windows hook execution for Claude Code 2.1.x

Claude Code 2.1.x changed the Windows execution model: it now auto-detects
.sh files in hook commands and prepends "bash " automatically. This broke
the polyglot wrapper because:

  Before: "run-hook.cmd" session-start.sh  (wrapper executes)
  After:  bash "run-hook.cmd" session-start.sh  (bash can't run .cmd)

Changes:
- hooks.json now calls session-start.sh directly (Claude Code handles bash)
- Added deprecation comment to run-hook.cmd explaining the change
- Updated RELEASE-NOTES.md

Fixes #317, #313, #275, #292

Add Integration section referencing using-git-worktrees skill as required,
consistent with subagent-driven-development skill. Also add reminder to
never start on main/master branch.

Update Integration section to show bidirectional relationship:
subagent-driven-development and executing-plans now list
using-git-worktrees as required, so this skill should list
them as callers.

03087b13b8 fix(opencode): standardize on plugins/ directory per official docs
OpenCode officially documents ~/.config/opencode/plugins/ (plural) as the
plugin directory. Our docs previously used plugin/ (singular), which also
works but caused confusion.

Changes:
- Renamed .opencode/plugin/ to .opencode/plugins/ in repo structure
- Updated INSTALL.md to use plugins/ everywhere
- Updated README.opencode.md (all platforms: Linux, macOS, Windows CMD,
  PowerShell, Git Bash) to use plugins/
- Updated test scripts to match

Tested: Both singular and plural forms work, but we now match official docs.

Fixes #343

Changes:
- INSTALL.md: Added missing skills symlink step, updated to native skill tool
- INSTALL.md: Removed Node.js prerequisite (no longer needed)
- README.opencode.md: Added explicit rm before ln -s (ln -sf doesn't remove dirs)
- Both files: Use ln -s instead of ln -sf for clarity

36fcd57626 fix: Windows hook execution for Claude Code 2.1.x (#331)
* fix: convert shell scripts from CRLF to LF line endings

Add .gitattributes to enforce LF line endings for shell scripts,
preventing bash errors like "/usr/bin/bash: line 1: : command not found"
when scripts are checked out on Windows with CRLF.

Fixes #317 (SessionStart hook fails due to CRLF line endings)

Files converted:
- hooks/session-start.sh
- lib/brainstorm-server/start-server.sh
- lib/brainstorm-server/stop-server.sh
- lib/brainstorm-server/wait-for-feedback.sh
- skills/systematic-debugging/find-polluter.sh

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: update Windows hook execution for Claude Code 2.1.x

Claude Code 2.1.x changed the Windows execution model: it now auto-detects
.sh files in hook commands and prepends "bash " automatically. This broke
the polyglot wrapper because:

  Before: "run-hook.cmd" session-start.sh  (wrapper executes)
  After:  bash "run-hook.cmd" session-start.sh  (bash can't run .cmd)

Changes:
- hooks.json now calls session-start.sh directly (Claude Code handles bash)
- Added deprecation comment to run-hook.cmd explaining the change
- Updated RELEASE-NOTES.md

Fixes #317, #313, #275, #292

* fix: respect OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR for personal skills lookup

The plugin was hardcoded to look for personal skills in ~/.config/opencode/skills,
ignoring users who set OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR to a custom path (e.g., for dotfiles management).

Now uses OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR if set, falling back to the default path.

* fix: update help text to use dynamic paths

Use configDir and personalSkillsDir variables in help text so paths
are accurate when OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR is set.

* fix: normalize OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR before use

Handle edge cases where the env var might be:
- Empty or whitespace-only
- Using ~ for home directory (common in .env files)
- A relative path

Now trims, expands ~, and resolves to absolute path.

* feat(opencode): use native skills and fix agent reset bug (#226)

- Replace custom use_skill/find_skills tools with OpenCode's native skill tool
- Use experimental.chat.system.transform hook instead of session.prompt
  (fixes #226 agent reset on first message)
- Symlink skills directory into ~/.config/opencode/skills/superpowers/
- Update installation docs with comprehensive Windows support:
  - Command Prompt, PowerShell, and Git Bash instructions
  - Proper symlink vs junction handling
  - Reinstall safety with cleanup steps
  - Verification commands for each shell

* Add OpenCode native skills changes to release notes

c037dcbf4b fix: use git check-ignore for worktree gitignore verification (#160)
* fix: use git check-ignore for worktree gitignore verification

The using-git-worktrees skill previously used grep to check only the
local .gitignore file, missing patterns in global gitignore configurations
(core.excludesfile). This caused unnecessary modifications to local
.gitignore when the directory was already globally ignored.

Changed verification from grep to git check-ignore, which respects Git's
full ignore hierarchy (local, global, and system gitignore files).

Fixes obra/superpowers#101

Tested with: Subagent pressure scenarios verifying correct behavior with
global gitignore configuration. Baseline test confirmed the bug, post-fix
test confirmed correct behavior.

030a222af1 Fix skill descriptions: remove workflow summaries that override flowcharts
Testing revealed that descriptions summarizing workflow cause Claude to
follow the description instead of reading the skill body. Changed all
descriptions to "when to use" triggers only:

- dispatching-parallel-agents: 2+ independent tasks without shared state
- executing-plans: have a written plan to execute with review checkpoints
- requesting-code-review: completing tasks, features, or before merging
- systematic-debugging: encountering bugs before proposing fixes
- test-driven-development: implementing features before writing code
- writing-plans: have spec/requirements for multi-step task before coding
- writing-skills: updated with "description trap" documentation

The description trap: workflow summaries in descriptions create shortcuts
Claude takes, skipping the skill body entirely.

- Minimal description ("Use when...") correctly deferred to flowchart

- Cautionary tale about this actual failure
- Examples of good (triggers only) vs bad (workflow summary) descriptions

Changes:
- Updated run_claude helper to accept allowed_tools parameter
- Updated integration test to use --allowed-tools=all

fa946ae465 Add integration test for subagent-driven-development
Created full end-to-end integration test that executes a real plan
and verifies the new workflow improvements actually work.

New test: test-subagent-driven-development-integration.sh
- Creates real Node.js test project
- Generates implementation plan (2 tasks)
- Executes using subagent-driven-development skill
- Verifies 8 key behaviors:
  1. Plan read once at beginning (not per task)
  2. Full task text provided to subagents (not file reading)
  3. Subagents perform self-review
  4. Spec compliance review before code quality
  5. Spec reviewer reads code independently
  6. Working implementation produced
  7. Tests pass
  8. No extra features added (spec compliance)

Integration tests are opt-in (--integration flag) due to 10-30 min runtime.

Updated run-skill-tests.sh:
- Added --integration flag
- Separates fast tests from integration tests
- Shows note when integration tests skipped

Updated README with integration test documentation.

51a171cd14 Add Claude Code skills test framework
Created automated test suite for testing superpowers skills using
Claude Code CLI in headless mode.

New files:
- tests/claude-code/run-skill-tests.sh - Main test runner
- tests/claude-code/test-helpers.sh - Helper functions for testing
- tests/claude-code/test-subagent-driven-development.sh - First test
- tests/claude-code/README.md - Documentation

Test framework features:
- Run Claude Code with prompts and capture output
- Assertion helpers (contains, not_contains, count, order)
- Test project creation helpers
- Timeout support (default 5 minutes)
- Verbose mode for debugging
- Specific test selection

First test verifies subagent-driven-development skill:
- Skill loading
- Workflow ordering (spec compliance before code quality)
- Self-review requirements
- Plan reading efficiency (read once)
- Spec compliance reviewer skepticism
- Review loops
- Task context provision

Run with: cd tests/claude-code && ./run-skill-tests.sh

466332f698 Emphasize spec compliance review must complete before code quality
Made sequencing explicit:
- Spec compliance review loop must fully complete () before code quality
- Added "Do NOT proceed to code quality review until spec compliance is "
- Code Quality Review section starts with "Only run after spec compliance review is complete"
- Red Flags: Added "Start code quality review before spec compliance is  (wrong order)"

This ensures we don't waste time reviewing code quality of the wrong
implementation. Verify they built the right thing first, then verify
they built it well.

87afde2390 Make spec compliance reviewer skeptical and verification-focused
The spec compliance reviewer now:
- Does NOT trust implementer's report
- Is warned implementer finished suspiciously quickly
- MUST verify everything by reading actual code
- Compares implementation to requirements line by line
- Reports issues with file:line references

Key additions:
- "Do Not Trust the Report" section
- Explicit DO NOT / DO lists
- "Verify by reading code, not by trusting report"
- Changed "What Was Implemented" to "What Implementer Claims They Built"

This prevents rubber-stamping and ensures independent verification
of spec compliance against actual codebase.

2a6a40fe10 Improve subagent-driven-development workflow
Key improvements based on feedback:

1. Read plan once, not per task
   - Extract all tasks in Step 1
   - Reference extracted tasks in Step 2
   - Eliminates redundant file reading

2. Enable questions during work
   - Not just before, but also while working
   - "It's always OK to ask questions"
   - Don't guess or make assumptions

3. Add self-review before reporting
   - Completeness: implemented everything?
   - Quality: best work, clear names?
   - Discipline: avoided overbuilding?
   - Testing: comprehensive, real behavior?
   - Catches issues before handoff

4. Add spec compliance review
   - Separate reviewer checks: built the right thing?
   - Flags missing requirements
   - Flags extra/unneeded work
   - Flags misunderstandings
   - Runs BEFORE code quality review

5. Make reviews loops, not one-shot
   - Reviewer finds issues
   - Implementer fixes
   - Reviewer reviews again
   - Repeat until approved
   - Applies to both spec and code quality

Two-stage review process:
- Stage 1: Spec compliance (right thing?)
- Stage 2: Code quality (built well?)

This enables subagents to do their best work with clear requirements,
opportunities to clarify, self-critique, and thorough review loops.

97ce1f8fe0 Update subagent-driven-development: controller provides full task text
Changed workflow so controller provides complete task context directly
rather than making subagent read plan file.

Key changes:
- Controller reads plan and extracts full task text
- Controller provides scene-setting context (dependencies, architecture)
- Subagent receives complete information in prompt (no file reading)
- Subagent can ask clarifying questions before beginning work
- Controller handles questions/concerns before subagent proceeds

Benefits:
- No file reading overhead for subagent
- Controller curates exactly what context is needed
- Questions surfaced before work begins (not after)
- Subagent has complete information to do best work

This enables subagents to start with clarity rather than ambiguity.

e7e50ac947 Add skills improvement plan from user feedback
Analyzed feedback from two Claude instances using superpowers in real
development scenarios. Identified 8 core problems and proposed improvements
organized by impact and risk.

Key problems:
- Configuration change verification gap (verify success not intent)
- Background process accumulation across subagents
- Context bloat in subagent prompts
- Missing self-reflection before handoff
- Mock-interface drift
- Code reviewer file access issues
- Skills not being read/enforced
- Fix workflow latency

Proposed improvements organized in 3 phases:
- Phase 1: High-impact, low-risk (do first)
- Phase 2: Moderate changes (test carefully)
- Phase 3: Optimization (validate first)

See plan for detailed analysis and open questions.

Changes:
- Replaced bash-specific ${BASH_SOURCE[0]:-$0} with POSIX-compliant $0
- Tested with both bash and sh (POSIX mode) on macOS
- Updated version to 3.6.2 in all required files

94e9e2596c Add Windows support for plugin hooks (#134)
* feat: Add Windows support for session-start hook

- Create polyglot session-start.cmd that works in both CMD and bash
- Update hooks.json to use the .cmd polyglot launcher
- Replace sed/awk with pure bash for JSON escaping (Windows compatibility)

The polyglot script uses a heredoc trick:
- CMD sees the @echo off block and runs bash.exe with cygpath conversion
- Bash sees a heredoc and skips to the Unix section

- Remove session-start.cmd in favor of run-hook.cmd
- Update hooks.json to use: run-hook.cmd session-start.sh
- Simplify test script to only test run-hook.cmd

This makes it easy to add more hooks - just create the .sh file
and add a line to hooks.json pointing to run-hook.cmd with the script name.

207a23e4d5 fix(opencode): Use synthetic: true for invisible content injection (#122)
The OpenCode plugin injects the bootstrap and skill content as visible
user messages. While `noReply: true` prevents an AI response, the
injected content still appears in the chat UI which makes it just a bit
noisy.

OpenCode's `TextPartInput` supports a `synthetic` Boolean property that
hides parts from the UI while keeping them visible to the AI -- it's
been available in the v2 message format since around the v1.0.0 version
bump.

8c7826c34d fix(opencode): use session.created event for bootstrap injection
Switch from chat.message hook to session.created event for injecting
the using-superpowers skill content. The new approach:

- Injects at session creation via session.prompt() with noReply: true
- Explicitly tells model the skill is already loaded to prevent
  redundant use_skill calls
- Consolidates bootstrap generation into getBootstrapContent() helper
- Removes fallback pattern in favor of single implementation

Tested with 10 consecutive test runs and manual skill trigger validation.

- Make README more egalitarian: 'AI coding assistants' vs 'Claude Code'
- Reorganize installation: 'Claude Code (via Plugin Marketplace)' and 'Codex (Experimental)'
- Add update checking to bootstrap with 3-second timeout protection
- Bootstrap now checks if local installation is behind GitHub and suggests 'git pull'
- Network failures or timeouts don't block bootstrap (graceful fallback)

Jesse Vincent
f6ee98a41a Strengthen using-superpowers skill against agent rationalization
Add three layers of enforcement to prevent agents from skipping skill usage:

1. EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT block with absolute language
   - "If even 1% chance a skill applies, you MUST read it"
   - "You do not have a choice. You cannot rationalize your way out."

2. MANDATORY FIRST RESPONSE PROTOCOL checklist
   - 5-step process agents must complete before any response
   - Explicit "responding without this = failure" consequence

3. Common Rationalizations section with 8 specific patterns
   - "This is just a simple question" → WRONG
   - "I can check files quickly" → WRONG
   - "Let me gather information first" → WRONG
   - Plus 5 more common evasion patterns

These changes address observed agent behavior where they rationalize
around skill usage despite clear instructions. The forceful language
and pre-emptive counter-arguments aim to make rationalization harder.

9597f088c4 Add design documentation phase to brainstorming skill
The old brainstorming command included writing the design document
before handing off to implementation planning. This was lost when
the command was converted to a skill.

Added Phase 4: Design Documentation to write the validated design
to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md before proceeding to worktree
setup and planning.

Tested with subagent to verify design document is written and
committed even under time pressure.

927512f1ab Fix false warning when local skills repo is ahead of upstream
The initialization script was incorrectly warning about upstream updates
when the local repository was ahead of upstream. This happened because
the logic didn't distinguish between three states:
- Local behind: LOCAL=BASE, REMOTE≠BASE → should update or warn
- Local ahead: LOCAL≠BASE, REMOTE=BASE → no warning needed
- Diverged: LOCAL≠BASE, REMOTE≠BASE → should warn

Changed the else clause to only set SKILLS_BEHIND when REMOTE≠BASE,
which correctly handles all three scenarios.

Fixes the issue reported in #8 where users with local commits ahead
of upstream were seeing spurious "new skills available" warnings.

488139d6d1 Apply Strunk's style principles to prose
Following The Elements of Style:
- Use active voice (Rule 10): "We rewrote" not "has been rewritten"
- Omit needless words (Rule 13): removed "automatically", "optionally", etc.
- Break up long sentences: split run-on second sentence into short, direct statements
- Put statements in positive form (Rule 11): direct assertions rather than negatives
- Keep it concise: "Claude notifies" not "Claude will notify"

Session start hook now:
- Inlines full getting-started/SKILL.md content (no @ links in hooks)
- Runs find-skills and shows complete skills list
- Shows tool paths after the guide

Getting-started improvements:
- Removed "Just Read This Guide?" section (redundant with hook)
- Removed "Last thing" announcement requirement
- Tightened intro from ~80 to ~35 words
- Simplified "How to Load Skills" section
- Updated Workflow 2 to reference skills list shown at session start
- Removed redundant find-skills path examples

This eliminates friction - agents see all available skills immediately without
needing to search first. No excuse for "I didn't want to spend time searching."

Added section "5. Cross-Referencing Other Skills" under CSO, explaining:
- Proper format: skills/path/name (no @ prefix or /SKILL.md suffix)
- Why: @ syntax force-loads files, burning context unnecessarily
- How to read: Use Read tool on ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/path/SKILL.md

This completes the move of cross-referencing guidance from getting-started
to writing-skills, improving separation of concerns.

cd83c0aac8 Move cross-referencing guidance from getting-started to writing-skills
Improved separation of concerns:
- getting-started: focused on USING skills (workflows, finding, reading)
- writing-skills: focused on WRITING skills (including cross-references)

The "Referencing Skills in Documentation" section belongs in writing-skills
because it's authoring guidance, not usage guidance. Added as subsection 5
under Claude Search Optimization (CSO).

Tested with subagents to verify improved clarity in both skills.

Fixed three key issues identified through TDD testing:

1. Removed writing-skills content duplication
   - Moved detailed RED-GREEN-REFACTOR process to skills/meta/writing-skills
   - Added concise pointer to writing-skills for those who need it

2. Clarified conversation search workflow
   - Changed "Mandatory Workflow 3" → "Workflow 3: Historical Context Search (Conditional)"
   - Updated Workflow 2 step 2 to explicitly reference Workflow 3's conditions
   - Eliminated contradiction between mandatory and conditional framing

3. Fixed typo: "juming" → "jumping"

Tested with subagents before and after changes to verify improvements.

3c26a7f875 feat: strengthen stuck-handling discovery and improve trigger clarity
**Discovery enhancement:**
- Add Mandatory Workflow 4 to getting-started: "When Stuck"
- Creates path: getting-started → when-stuck dispatch → specific technique
- Prevents spinning wheels without seeking help

**Trigger clarity:**
- Replace phrase examples with pattern descriptions
- "Partner reveals constraint you didn't consider" (pattern) not "Oh, I forgot..." (phrase)
- Emphasizes NEW information that invalidates current context
- Prevents ambiguity between new constraints vs clarifications

Tested: All skills verified with subagents, triggers work correctly.

ec15b59c89 refactor: split emergent-patterns into focused problem-solving skills
**Restructure:**
- Split detecting-emergent-patterns (216 lines) into 5 focused skills (~60 lines each)
- Move tracing-lineages to skills/research/ (better category fit)
- Create skills/problem-solving/ category

**New problem-solving skills:**
- simplification-cascades: Find one insight that eliminates multiple components
- collision-zone-thinking: Force unrelated concepts together for breakthroughs
- meta-pattern-recognition: Spot patterns in 3+ domains
- inversion-exercise: Flip assumptions to reveal alternatives
- scale-game: Test at extremes to find fundamental limits
- when-stuck: Dispatch skill that maps stuck-symptoms to techniques

**Improvements:**
- Symptom-based when_to_use (what you'd actually think/feel)
- Quick reference tables for rapid scanning
- Pattern-based triggers (not exact phrase matching)
- Cross-references from brainstorming for discoverability

Each skill now: scannable in 30 seconds, applicable immediately, focused on one technique.

dedae3a786 feat: add mode-switching and amplifier-inspired skills
**Mode-switching enhancements:**
- Update brainstorming skill with flexible UNDERSTANDING/EXPLORING/DESIGNING modes
- Update executing-plans skill with REVIEWING/EXECUTING/BLOCKED/REPORTING modes
- Add inline dot diagrams with full contextual labels for all valid transitions
- Enforce explicit mode switch announcements

**New architecture skills from amplifier patterns:**
- preserving-productive-tensions: Recognize when to preserve multiple valid approaches vs force resolution
- tracing-knowledge-lineages: Understand idea evolution to avoid repeating failures
- detecting-emergent-patterns: Cross-domain synthesis, collision-zone thinking, simplification cascades

All skills pressure-tested with subagents using RED-GREEN-REFACTOR methodology.

# 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`.

# Installing Superpowers for OpenCode
## Prerequisites
- [OpenCode.ai](https://opencode.ai) installed
## Installation
Add superpowers to the `plugin` array in your `opencode.json` (global or project-level):
```json
{
"plugin": ["superpowers@git+https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git"]
}
```
Restart OpenCode. That's it — the plugin auto-installs and registers all skills.
Verify by asking: "Tell me about your superpowers"
## Migrating from the old symlink-based install
If you previously installed superpowers using `git clone` and symlinks, remove the old setup:
```bash
# Remove old symlinks
rm -f ~/.config/opencode/plugins/superpowers.js
rm -rf ~/.config/opencode/skills/superpowers
# Optionally remove the cloned repo
rm -rf ~/.config/opencode/superpowers
# Remove skills.paths from opencode.json if you added one for superpowers
```
Then follow the installation steps above.
## Usage
Use OpenCode's native `skill` tool:
```
use skill tool to list skills
use skill tool to load superpowers/brainstorming
```
## Updating
Superpowers updates automatically when you restart OpenCode.
To pin a specific version:
```json
{
"plugin": ["superpowers@git+https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git#v5.0.3"]
}
```
## Troubleshooting
### Plugin not loading
1. Check logs: `opencode run --print-logs "hello" 2>&1 | grep -i superpowers`
2. Verify the plugin line in your `opencode.json`
3. Make sure you're running a recent version of OpenCode
### Skills not found
1. Use `skill` tool to list what's discovered
2. Check that the plugin is loading (see above)
### Tool mapping
When skills reference Claude Code tools:
- `TodoWrite``todowrite`
- `Task` with subagents → `@mention` syntax
- `Skill` tool → OpenCode's native `skill` tool
- File operations → your native tools

# Changelog
## [5.0.5] - 2026-03-17
### 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))
### Changed
- **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`)

# Superpowers
Give Claude Code superpowers with a comprehensive skills library of proven techniques, patterns, and tools.
Superpowers is a complete software development workflow for your coding agents, built on top of a set of composable "skills" and some initial instructions that make sure your agent uses them.
## What You Get
## How it works
- **Testing Skills** - TDD, async testing, anti-patterns
- **Debugging Skills** - Systematic debugging, root cause tracing, verification
- **Collaboration Skills** - Brainstorming, planning, code review, parallel agents
- **Meta Skills** - Creating, testing, and contributing skills
It starts from the moment you fire up your coding agent. As soon as it sees that you're building something, it *doesn't* just jump into trying to write code. Instead, it steps back and asks you what you're really trying to do.
Plus:
- **Slash Commands** - `/brainstorm`, `/write-plan`, `/execute-plan`
- **Skills Search** - Grep-powered discovery of relevant skills
- **Gap Tracking** - Failed searches logged for skill creation
Once it's teased a spec out of the conversation, it shows it to you in chunks short enough to actually read and digest.
## Learn More
After you've signed off on the design, your agent puts together an implementation plan that's clear enough for an enthusiastic junior engineer with poor taste, no judgement, no project context, and an aversion to testing to follow. It emphasizes true red/green TDD, YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It), and DRY.
Next up, once you say "go", it launches a *subagent-driven-development* process, having agents work through each engineering task, inspecting and reviewing their work, and continuing forward. It's not uncommon for Claude to be able to work autonomously for a couple hours at a time without deviating from the plan you put together.
There's a bunch more to it, but that's the core of the system. And because the skills trigger automatically, you don't need to do anything special. Your coding agent just has Superpowers.
## Sponsorship
If Superpowers has helped you do stuff that makes money and you are so inclined, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd consider [sponsoring my opensource work](https://github.com/sponsors/obra).
Thanks!

## Installation
### Via Plugin Marketplace (Recommended)
**Note:** Installation differs by platform. Claude Code or Cursor have built-in plugin marketplaces. Codex and OpenCode require manual setup.
### Claude Code Official Marketplace
Superpowers is available via the [official Claude plugin marketplace](https://claude.com/plugins/superpowers)
Install the plugin from Claude marketplace:
```bash
/plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official
```
### Claude Code (via Plugin Marketplace)
In Claude Code, register the marketplace first:
```bash
# In Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace
```
Then install the plugin from this marketplace:
```bash
/plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace
```
That's it! On first session, the plugin automatically:
- Sets up `~/.config/superpowers/` as your personal skills repository
- Initializes git repo for version control
- Makes core skills searchable alongside your personal skills
- Adds `/brainstorm`, `/write-plan`, and `/execute-plan` commands
- Offers to create public GitHub repo for sharing your skills
### Cursor (via Plugin Marketplace)
In Cursor Agent chat, install from marketplace:
```text
/add-plugin superpowers
```
or search for "superpowers" in the plugin marketplace.
### Codex
Tell Codex:
```
Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obra/superpowers/refs/heads/main/.codex/INSTALL.md
```
**Detailed docs:** [docs/README.codex.md](docs/README.codex.md)

```
Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obra/superpowers/refs/heads/main/.opencode/INSTALL.md
```
**Detailed docs:** [docs/README.opencode.md](docs/README.opencode.md)
### GitHub Copilot CLI
```bash
copilot plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace
copilot plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace
```
### Gemini CLI
```bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/obra/superpowers
```
To update:
```bash
gemini extensions update superpowers
```
### Verify Installation
```bash
# Check that commands appear
/help
Start a new session in your chosen platform and ask for something that should trigger a skill (for example, "help me plan this feature" or "let's debug this issue"). The agent should automatically invoke the relevant superpowers skill.
# Should see:
# /brainstorm - Interactive design refinement
# /write-plan - Create implementation plan
# /execute-plan - Execute plan in batches
```
## The Basic Workflow
## Quick Start
1. **brainstorming** - Activates before writing code. Refines rough ideas through questions, explores alternatives, presents design in sections for validation. Saves design document.
### Your Personal Skills
2. **using-git-worktrees** - Activates after design approval. Creates isolated workspace on new branch, runs project setup, verifies clean test baseline.
Write your own skills to `~/.config/superpowers/skills/`:
- All personal skills automatically discovered by search tools
- Personal skills shadow core skills when names match
- Version controlled with git
- Optional: Share on GitHub and contribute back to core
3. **writing-plans** - Activates with approved design. Breaks work into bite-sized tasks (2-5 minutes each). Every task has exact file paths, complete code, verification steps.
See `skills/meta/writing-skills` for how to create new skills.
See `skills/meta/sharing-skills` for how to contribute to core.
4. **subagent-driven-development** or **executing-plans** - Activates with plan. Dispatches fresh subagent per task with two-stage review (spec compliance, then code quality), or executes in batches with human checkpoints.
### Finding Skills
5. **test-driven-development** - Activates during implementation. Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR: write failing test, watch it fail, write minimal code, watch it pass, commit. Deletes code written before tests.
Find both personal and core skills before starting any task:
6. **requesting-code-review** - Activates between tasks. Reviews against plan, reports issues by severity. Critical issues block progress.
```bash
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/find-skills # All skills with descriptions
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/find-skills test # Filter by pattern
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/find-skills 'TDD|debug' # Regex pattern
```
7. **finishing-a-development-branch** - Activates when tasks complete. Verifies tests, presents options (merge/PR/keep/discard), cleans up worktree.
### Using Slash Commands
**Brainstorm a design:**
```
/brainstorm
```
**Create an implementation plan:**
```
/write-plan
```
**Execute the plan:**
```
/execute-plan
```
**The agent checks for relevant skills before any task.** Mandatory workflows, not suggestions.

- **execute-plan.md** - Execute plans in batches with review checkpoints
### Tools
**In `scripts/` directory:**
- **find-skills** - Unified skill discovery with descriptions (replaces list-skills + skills-search)
- **skill-run** - Generic runner for any skill script (searches personal then core)
**Skill-specific tools:**
- **search-conversations** - Semantic search of past Claude sessions (in remembering-conversations skill)
**Using scripts:**
```bash
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/find-skills # Show all skills
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/find-skills pattern # Search skills
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/skill-run <path> [args] # Run any skill script
```
## How It Works
1. **SessionStart Hook** - Auto-setup personal skills repo, inject core skills context
2. **Two-Tier Skills** - Personal skills (`~/.config/superpowers/skills/`) + Core skills (plugin)
3. **Skills Discovery** - `find-skills` searches both locations with descriptions
4. **Shadowing** - Personal skills override core skills when paths match
5. **Mandatory Workflow** - Skills become required when they exist for your task
6. **Gap Tracking** - Failed searches logged to `~/.config/superpowers/search-log.jsonl`
**Meta**
- **writing-skills** - Create new skills following best practices (includes testing methodology)
- **using-superpowers** - Introduction to the skills system

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.

# Claude Commands
Slash commands for Claude that reference skills.
## Available Commands
- `/brainstorm` - Interactive idea refinement using Socratic method (→ `@skills/collaboration/brainstorming/SKILL.md`)
- `/write-plan` - Create detailed implementation plan (→ `@skills/collaboration/writing-plans/SKILL.md`)
- `/execute-plan` - Execute plan in batches with review (→ `@skills/collaboration/executing-plans/SKILL.md`)
## Format
Each command is a simple markdown file containing a single `@` reference to a skill:
```markdown
@skills/collaboration/brainstorming/SKILL.md
```
When you run the command (e.g., `/brainstorm`), Claude loads and follows that skill.
## Creating Custom Commands
To add your own commands:
1. Create `your-command.md` in this directory
2. Add a single line referencing a skill:
```markdown
@skills/your-category/your-skill/SKILL.md
```
3. The command `/your-command` is now available
## Installation
These commands are automatically symlinked to `~/.claude/commands/` by the clank installer.
See `@skills/meta/installing-skills/SKILL.md` for installation details.

# 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.

# Superpowers for OpenCode
Complete guide for using Superpowers with [OpenCode.ai](https://opencode.ai).
## Installation
Add superpowers to the `plugin` array in your `opencode.json` (global or project-level):
```json
{
"plugin": ["superpowers@git+https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git"]
}
```
Restart OpenCode. The plugin auto-installs via Bun and registers all skills automatically.
Verify by asking: "Tell me about your superpowers"
### Migrating from the old symlink-based install
If you previously installed superpowers using `git clone` and symlinks, remove the old setup:
```bash
# Remove old symlinks
rm -f ~/.config/opencode/plugins/superpowers.js
rm -rf ~/.config/opencode/skills/superpowers
# Optionally remove the cloned repo
rm -rf ~/.config/opencode/superpowers
# Remove skills.paths from opencode.json if you added one for superpowers
```
Then follow the installation steps above.
## Usage
### Finding Skills
Use OpenCode's native `skill` tool to list all available skills:
```
use skill tool to list skills
```
### Loading a Skill
```
use skill tool to load superpowers/brainstorming
```
### Personal Skills
Create your own skills in `~/.config/opencode/skills/`:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/skills/my-skill
```
Create `~/.config/opencode/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md`:
```markdown
---
name: my-skill
description: Use when [condition] - [what it does]
---
# My Skill
[Your skill content here]
```
### Project Skills
Create project-specific skills in `.opencode/skills/` within your project.
**Skill Priority:** Project skills > Personal skills > Superpowers skills
## Updating
Superpowers updates automatically when you restart OpenCode. The plugin is re-installed from the git repository on each launch.
To pin a specific version, use a branch or tag:
```json
{
"plugin": ["superpowers@git+https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git#v5.0.3"]
}
```
## How It Works
The plugin does two things:
1. **Injects bootstrap context** via the `experimental.chat.system.transform` hook, adding superpowers awareness to every conversation.
2. **Registers the skills directory** via the `config` hook, so OpenCode discovers all superpowers skills without symlinks or manual config.
### Tool Mapping
Skills written for Claude Code are automatically adapted for OpenCode:
- `TodoWrite``todowrite`
- `Task` with subagents → OpenCode's `@mention` system
- `Skill` tool → OpenCode's native `skill` tool
- File operations → Native OpenCode tools
## Troubleshooting
### Plugin not loading
1. Check OpenCode logs: `opencode run --print-logs "hello" 2>&1 | grep -i superpowers`
2. Verify the plugin line in your `opencode.json` is correct
3. Make sure you're running a recent version of OpenCode
### Skills not found
1. Use OpenCode's `skill` tool to list available skills
2. Check that the plugin is loading (see above)
3. Each skill needs a `SKILL.md` file with valid YAML frontmatter
### Bootstrap not appearing
1. Check OpenCode version supports `experimental.chat.system.transform` hook
2. Restart OpenCode after config changes

# OpenCode Support Design
**Date:** 2025-11-22
**Author:** Bot & Jesse
**Status:** Design Complete, Awaiting Implementation
## Overview
Add full superpowers support for OpenCode.ai using a native OpenCode plugin architecture that shares core functionality with the existing Codex implementation.
## Background
OpenCode.ai is a coding agent similar to Claude Code and Codex. Previous attempts to port superpowers to OpenCode (PR #93, PR #116) used file-copying approaches. This design takes a different approach: building a native OpenCode plugin using their JavaScript/TypeScript plugin system while sharing code with the Codex implementation.
### Key Differences Between Platforms
- **Claude Code**: Native Anthropic plugin system + file-based skills
- **Codex**: No plugin system → bootstrap markdown + CLI script
- **OpenCode**: JavaScript/TypeScript plugins with event hooks and custom tools API
### OpenCode's Agent System
- **Primary agents**: Build (default, full access) and Plan (restricted, read-only)
- **Subagents**: General (research, searching, multi-step tasks)
- **Invocation**: Automatic dispatch by primary agents OR manual `@mention` syntax
- **Configuration**: Custom agents in `opencode.json` or `~/.config/opencode/agent/`
## Architecture
### High-Level Structure
1. **Shared Core Module** (`lib/skills-core.js`)
- Common skill discovery and parsing logic
- Used by both Codex and OpenCode implementations
2. **Platform-Specific Wrappers**
- Codex: CLI script (`.codex/superpowers-codex`)
- OpenCode: Plugin module (`.opencode/plugin/superpowers.js`)
3. **Skill Directories**
- Core: `~/.config/opencode/superpowers/skills/` (or installed location)
- Personal: `~/.config/opencode/skills/` (shadows core skills)
### Code Reuse Strategy
Extract common functionality from `.codex/superpowers-codex` into shared module:
```javascript
// lib/skills-core.js
module.exports = {
extractFrontmatter(filePath), // Parse name + description from YAML
findSkillsInDir(dir, maxDepth), // Recursive SKILL.md discovery
findAllSkills(dirs), // Scan multiple directories
resolveSkillPath(skillName, dirs), // Handle shadowing (personal > core)
checkForUpdates(repoDir) // Git fetch/status check
};
```
### Skill Frontmatter Format
Current format (no `when_to_use` field):
```yaml
---
name: skill-name
description: Use when [condition] - [what it does]; [additional context]
---
```
## OpenCode Plugin Implementation
### Custom Tools
**Tool 1: `use_skill`**
Loads a specific skill's content into the conversation (equivalent to Claude's Skill tool).
```javascript
{
name: 'use_skill',
description: 'Load and read a specific skill to guide your work',
schema: z.object({
skill_name: z.string().describe('Name of skill (e.g., "superpowers:brainstorming")')
}),
execute: async ({ skill_name }) => {
const { skillPath, content, frontmatter } = resolveAndReadSkill(skill_name);
const skillDir = path.dirname(skillPath);
return `# ${frontmatter.name}
# ${frontmatter.description}
# Supporting tools and docs are in ${skillDir}
# ============================================
${content}`;
}
}
```
**Tool 2: `find_skills`**
Lists all available skills with metadata.
```javascript
{
name: 'find_skills',
description: 'List all available skills',
schema: z.object({}),
execute: async () => {
const skills = discoverAllSkills();
return skills.map(s =>
`${s.namespace}:${s.name}
${s.description}
Directory: ${s.directory}
`).join('\n');
}
}
```
### Session Startup Hook
When a new session starts (`session.started` event):
1. **Inject using-superpowers content**
- Full content of the using-superpowers skill
- Establishes mandatory workflows
2. **Run find_skills automatically**
- Display full list of available skills upfront
- Include skill directories for each
3. **Inject tool mapping instructions**
```markdown
**Tool Mapping for OpenCode:**
When skills reference tools you don't have, substitute:
- `TodoWrite` → `update_plan`
- `Task` with subagents → Use OpenCode subagent system (@mention)
- `Skill` tool → `use_skill` custom tool
- Read, Write, Edit, Bash → Your native equivalents
**Skill directories contain:**
- Supporting scripts (run with bash)
- Additional documentation (read with read tool)
- Utilities specific to that skill
```
4. **Check for updates** (non-blocking)
- Quick git fetch with timeout
- Notify if updates available
### Plugin Structure
```javascript
// .opencode/plugin/superpowers.js
const skillsCore = require('../../lib/skills-core');
const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');
const { z } = require('zod');
export const SuperpowersPlugin = async ({ client, directory, $ }) => {
const superpowersDir = path.join(process.env.HOME, '.config/opencode/superpowers');
const personalDir = path.join(process.env.HOME, '.config/opencode/skills');
return {
'session.started': async () => {
const usingSuperpowers = await readSkill('using-superpowers');
const skillsList = await findAllSkills();
const toolMapping = getToolMappingInstructions();
return {
context: `${usingSuperpowers}\n\n${skillsList}\n\n${toolMapping}`
};
},
tools: [
{
name: 'use_skill',
description: 'Load and read a specific skill',
schema: z.object({
skill_name: z.string()
}),
execute: async ({ skill_name }) => {
// Implementation using skillsCore
}
},
{
name: 'find_skills',
description: 'List all available skills',
schema: z.object({}),
execute: async () => {
// Implementation using skillsCore
}
}
]
};
};
```

## Implementation Plan
### Phase 1: Refactor Shared Core
1. Create `lib/skills-core.js`
- Extract frontmatter parsing from `.codex/superpowers-codex`
- Extract skill discovery logic
- Extract path resolution (with shadowing)
- Update to use only `name` and `description` (no `when_to_use`)
2. Update `.codex/superpowers-codex` to use shared core
- Import from `../lib/skills-core.js`
- Remove duplicated code
- Keep CLI wrapper logic
3. Test Codex implementation still works
- Verify bootstrap command
- Verify use-skill command
- Verify find-skills command
### Phase 2: Build OpenCode Plugin
1. Create `.opencode/plugin/superpowers.js`
- Import shared core from `../../lib/skills-core.js`
- Implement plugin function
- Define custom tools (use_skill, find_skills)
- Implement session.started hook
2. Create `.opencode/INSTALL.md`
- Installation instructions
- Directory setup
- Configuration guidance
3. Test OpenCode implementation
- Verify session startup bootstrap
- Verify use_skill tool works
- Verify find_skills tool works
- Verify skill directories are accessible
### Phase 3: Documentation & Polish
1. Update README with OpenCode support
2. Add OpenCode installation to main docs
3. Update RELEASE-NOTES
4. Test both Codex and OpenCode work correctly
## Next Steps
1. **Create isolated workspace** (using git worktrees)
- Branch: `feature/opencode-support`
2. **Follow TDD where applicable**
- Test shared core functions
- Test skill discovery and parsing
- Integration tests for both platforms
3. **Incremental implementation**
- Phase 1: Refactor shared core + update Codex
- Verify Codex still works before moving on
- Phase 2: Build OpenCode plugin
- Phase 3: Documentation and polish
4. **Testing strategy**
- Manual testing with real OpenCode installation
- Verify skill loading, directories, scripts work
- Test both Codex and OpenCode side-by-side
- Verify tool mappings work correctly
5. **PR and merge**
- Create PR with complete implementation
- Test in clean environment
- Merge to main
## Benefits
- **Code reuse**: Single source of truth for skill discovery/parsing
- **Maintainability**: Bug fixes apply to both platforms
- **Extensibility**: Easy to add future platforms (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
- **Native integration**: Uses OpenCode's plugin system properly
- **Consistency**: Same skill experience across all platforms

# Skills Improvements from User Feedback
**Date:** 2025-11-28
**Status:** Draft
**Source:** Two Claude instances using superpowers in real development scenarios
---
## Executive Summary
Two Claude instances provided detailed feedback from actual development sessions. Their feedback reveals **systematic gaps** in current skills that allowed preventable bugs to ship despite following the skills.
**Critical insight:** These are problem reports, not just solution proposals. The problems are real; the solutions need careful evaluation.
**Key themes:**
1. **Verification gaps** - We verify operations succeed but not that they achieve intended outcomes
2. **Process hygiene** - Background processes accumulate and interfere across subagents
3. **Context optimization** - Subagents get too much irrelevant information
4. **Self-reflection missing** - No prompt to critique own work before handoff
5. **Mock safety** - Mocks can drift from interfaces without detection
6. **Skill activation** - Skills exist but aren't being read/used
---
## Problems Identified
### Problem 1: Configuration Change Verification Gap
**What happened:**
- Subagent tested "OpenAI integration"
- Set `OPENAI_API_KEY` env var
- Got status 200 responses
- Reported "OpenAI integration working"
- **BUT** response contained `"model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"` - was actually using Anthropic
**Root cause:**
`verification-before-completion` checks operations succeed but not that outcomes reflect intended configuration changes.
**Impact:** High - False confidence in integration tests, bugs ship to production
**Example failure pattern:**
- Switch LLM provider → verify status 200 but don't check model name
- Enable feature flag → verify no errors but don't check feature is active
- Change environment → verify deployment succeeds but don't check environment vars
---
### Problem 2: Background Process Accumulation
**What happened:**
- Multiple subagents dispatched during session
- Each started background server processes
- Processes accumulated (4+ servers running)
- Stale processes still bound to ports
- Later E2E test hit stale server with wrong config
- Confusing/incorrect test results
**Root cause:**
Subagents are stateless - don't know about previous subagents' processes. No cleanup protocol.
**Impact:** Medium-High - Tests hit wrong server, false passes/failures, debugging confusion
---
### Problem 3: Context Bloat in Subagent Prompts
**What happened:**
- Standard approach: give subagent full plan file to read
- Experiment: give only task + pattern + file + verify command
- Result: Faster, more focused, single-attempt completion more common
**Root cause:**
Subagents waste tokens and attention on irrelevant plan sections.
**Impact:** Medium - Slower execution, more failed attempts
**What worked:**
```
You are adding a single E2E test to packnplay's test suite.
**Your task:** Add `TestE2E_FeaturePrivilegedMode` to `pkg/runner/e2e_test.go`
**What to test:** A local devcontainer feature that requests `"privileged": true`
in its metadata should result in the container running with `--privileged` flag.
**Follow the exact pattern of TestE2E_FeatureOptionValidation** (at the end of the file)
**After writing, run:** `go test -v ./pkg/runner -run TestE2E_FeaturePrivilegedMode -timeout 5m`
```
---
### Problem 4: No Self-Reflection Before Handoff
**What happened:**
- Added self-reflection prompt: "Look at your work with fresh eyes - what could be better?"
- Implementer for Task 5 identified failing test was due to implementation bug, not test bug
- Traced to line 99: `strings.Join(metadata.Entrypoint, " ")` creating invalid Docker syntax
- Without self-reflection, would have just reported "test fails" without root cause
**Root cause:**
Implementers don't naturally step back and critique their own work before reporting completion.
**Impact:** Medium - Bugs handed off to reviewer that implementer could have caught
---
### Problem 5: Mock-Interface Drift
**What happened:**
```typescript
// Interface defines close()
interface PlatformAdapter {
close(): Promise<void>;
}
// Code (BUGGY) calls cleanup()
await adapter.cleanup();
// Mock (MATCHES BUG) defines cleanup()
vi.mock('web-adapter', () => ({
WebAdapter: vi.fn().mockImplementation(() => ({
cleanup: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(undefined), // Wrong!
})),
}));
```
- Tests passed
- Runtime crashed: "adapter.cleanup is not a function"
**Root cause:**
Mock derived from what buggy code calls, not from interface definition. TypeScript can't catch inline mocks with wrong method names.
**Impact:** High - Tests give false confidence, runtime crashes
**Why testing-anti-patterns didn't prevent this:**
The skill covers testing mock behavior and mocking without understanding, but not the specific pattern of "derive mock from interface, not implementation."
---
### Problem 6: Code Reviewer File Access
**What happened:**
- Code reviewer subagent dispatched
- Couldn't find test file: "The file doesn't appear to exist in the repository"
- File actually exists
- Reviewer didn't know to explicitly read it first
**Root cause:**
Reviewer prompts don't include explicit file reading instructions.
**Impact:** Low-Medium - Reviews fail or incomplete
---
### Problem 7: Fix Workflow Latency
**What happened:**
- Implementer identifies bug during self-reflection
- Implementer knows the fix
- Current workflow: report → I dispatch fixer → fixer fixes → I verify
- Extra round-trip adds latency without adding value
**Root cause:**
Rigid separation between implementer and fixer roles when implementer has already diagnosed.
**Impact:** Low - Latency, but no correctness issue
---
### Problem 8: Skills Not Being Read
**What happened:**
- `testing-anti-patterns` skill exists
- Neither human nor subagents read it before writing tests
- Would have prevented some issues (though not all - see Problem 5)
**Root cause:**
No enforcement that subagents read relevant skills. No prompt includes skill reading.
**Impact:** Medium - Skill investment wasted if not used
---
## Proposed Improvements
### 1. verification-before-completion: Add Configuration Change Verification
**Add new section:**
```markdown
## Verifying Configuration Changes
When testing changes to configuration, providers, feature flags, or environment:
**Don't just verify the operation succeeded. Verify the output reflects the intended change.**
### Common Failure Pattern
Operation succeeds because *some* valid config exists, but it's not the config you intended to test.
### Examples
| Change | Insufficient | Required |
|--------|-------------|----------|
| Switch LLM provider | Status 200 | Response contains expected model name |
| Enable feature flag | No errors | Feature behavior actually active |
| Change environment | Deploy succeeds | Logs/vars reference new environment |
| Set credentials | Auth succeeds | Authenticated user/context is correct |
### Gate Function
```
BEFORE claiming configuration change works:
1. IDENTIFY: What should be DIFFERENT after this change?
2. LOCATE: Where is that difference observable?
- Response field (model name, user ID)
- Log line (environment, provider)
- Behavior (feature active/inactive)
3. RUN: Command that shows the observable difference
4. VERIFY: Output contains expected difference
5. ONLY THEN: Claim configuration change works
Red flags:
- "Request succeeded" without checking content
- Checking status code but not response body
- Verifying no errors but not positive confirmation
```
**Why this works:**
Forces verification of INTENT, not just operation success.
---
### 2. subagent-driven-development: Add Process Hygiene for E2E Tests
**Add new section:**
```markdown
## Process Hygiene for E2E Tests
When dispatching subagents that start services (servers, databases, message queues):
### Problem
Subagents are stateless - they don't know about processes started by previous subagents. Background processes persist and can interfere with later tests.
### Solution
**Before dispatching E2E test subagent, include cleanup in prompt:**
```
BEFORE starting any services:
1. Kill existing processes: pkill -f "<service-pattern>" 2>/dev/null || true
2. Wait for cleanup: sleep 1
3. Verify port free: lsof -i :<port> && echo "ERROR: Port still in use" || echo "Port free"
AFTER tests complete:
1. Kill the process you started
2. Verify cleanup: pgrep -f "<service-pattern>" || echo "Cleanup successful"
```
### Example
```
Task: Run E2E test of API server
Prompt includes:
"Before starting the server:
- Kill any existing servers: pkill -f 'node.*server.js' 2>/dev/null || true
- Verify port 3001 is free: lsof -i :3001 && exit 1 || echo 'Port available'
After tests:
- Kill the server you started
- Verify: pgrep -f 'node.*server.js' || echo 'Cleanup verified'"
```
### Why This Matters
- Stale processes serve requests with wrong config
- Port conflicts cause silent failures
- Process accumulation slows system
- Confusing test results (hitting wrong server)
```
**Trade-off analysis:**
- Adds boilerplate to prompts
- But prevents very confusing debugging
- Worth it for E2E test subagents
---
### 3. subagent-driven-development: Add Lean Context Option
**Modify Step 2: Execute Task with Subagent**
**Before:**
```
Read that task carefully from [plan-file].
```
**After:**
```
## Context Approaches
**Full Plan (default):**
Use when tasks are complex or have dependencies:
```
Read Task N from [plan-file] carefully.
```
**Lean Context (for independent tasks):**
Use when task is standalone and pattern-based:
```
You are implementing: [1-2 sentence task description]
File to modify: [exact path]
Pattern to follow: [reference to existing function/test]
What to implement: [specific requirement]
Verification: [exact command to run]
[Do NOT include full plan file]
```
**Use lean context when:**
- Task follows existing pattern (add similar test, implement similar feature)
- Task is self-contained (doesn't need context from other tasks)
- Pattern reference is sufficient (e.g., "follow TestE2E_FeatureOptionValidation")
**Use full plan when:**
- Task has dependencies on other tasks
- Requires understanding of overall architecture
- Complex logic that needs context
```
**Example:**
```
Lean context prompt:
"You are adding a test for privileged mode in devcontainer features.
File: pkg/runner/e2e_test.go
Pattern: Follow TestE2E_FeatureOptionValidation (at end of file)
Test: Feature with `"privileged": true` in metadata results in `--privileged` flag
Verify: go test -v ./pkg/runner -run TestE2E_FeaturePrivilegedMode -timeout 5m
Report: Implementation, test results, any issues."
```
**Why this works:**
Reduces token usage, increases focus, faster completion when appropriate.
---
### 4. subagent-driven-development: Add Self-Reflection Step
**Modify Step 2: Execute Task with Subagent**
**Add to prompt template:**
```
When done, BEFORE reporting back:
Take a step back and review your work with fresh eyes.
Ask yourself:
- Does this actually solve the task as specified?
- Are there edge cases I didn't consider?
- Did I follow the pattern correctly?
- If tests are failing, what's the ROOT CAUSE (implementation bug vs test bug)?
- What could be better about this implementation?
If you identify issues during this reflection, fix them now.
Then report:
- What you implemented
- Self-reflection findings (if any)
- Test results
- Files changed
```
**Why this works:**
Catches bugs implementer can find themselves before handoff. Documented case: identified entrypoint bug through self-reflection.
**Trade-off:**
Adds ~30 seconds per task, but catches issues before review.
---
### 5. requesting-code-review: Add Explicit File Reading
**Modify the code-reviewer template:**
**Add at the beginning:**
```markdown
## Files to Review
BEFORE analyzing, read these files:
1. [List specific files that changed in the diff]
2. [Files referenced by changes but not modified]
Use Read tool to load each file.
If you cannot find a file:
- Check exact path from diff
- Try alternate locations
- Report: "Cannot locate [path] - please verify file exists"
DO NOT proceed with review until you've read the actual code.
```
**Why this works:**
Explicit instruction prevents "file not found" issues.
---
### 6. testing-anti-patterns: Add Mock-Interface Drift Anti-Pattern
**Add new Anti-Pattern 6:**
```markdown
## Anti-Pattern 6: Mocks Derived from Implementation
**The violation:**
```typescript
// Code (BUGGY) calls cleanup()
await adapter.cleanup();
// Mock (MATCHES BUG) has cleanup()
const mock = {
cleanup: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(undefined)
};
// Interface (CORRECT) defines close()
interface PlatformAdapter {
close(): Promise<void>;
}
```
**Why this is wrong:**
- Mock encodes the bug into the test
- TypeScript can't catch inline mocks with wrong method names
- Test passes because both code and mock are wrong
- Runtime crashes when real object is used
**The fix:**
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD: Derive mock from interface
// Step 1: Open interface definition (PlatformAdapter)
// Step 2: List methods defined there (close, initialize, etc.)
// Step 3: Mock EXACTLY those methods
const mock = {
initialize: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(undefined),
close: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(undefined), // From interface!
};
// Now test FAILS because code calls cleanup() which doesn't exist
// That failure reveals the bug BEFORE runtime
```
### Gate Function
```
BEFORE writing any mock:
1. STOP - Do NOT look at the code under test yet
2. FIND: The interface/type definition for the dependency
3. READ: The interface file
4. LIST: Methods defined in the interface
5. MOCK: ONLY those methods with EXACTLY those names
6. DO NOT: Look at what your code calls
IF your test fails because code calls something not in mock:
✅ GOOD - The test found a bug in your code
Fix the code to call the correct interface method
NOT the mock
Red flags:
- "I'll mock what the code calls"
- Copying method names from implementation
- Mock written without reading interface
- "The test is failing so I'll add this method to the mock"
```
**Detection:**
When you see runtime error "X is not a function" and tests pass:
1. Check if X is mocked
2. Compare mock methods to interface methods
3. Look for method name mismatches
```
**Why this works:**
Directly addresses the failure pattern from feedback.
---
### 7. subagent-driven-development: Require Skills Reading for Test Subagents
**Add to prompt template when task involves testing:**
```markdown
BEFORE writing any tests:
1. Read testing-anti-patterns skill:
Use Skill tool: superpowers:testing-anti-patterns
2. Apply gate functions from that skill when:
- Writing mocks
- Adding methods to production classes
- Mocking dependencies
This is NOT optional. Tests that violate anti-patterns will be rejected in review.
```
**Why this works:**
Ensures skills are actually used, not just exist.
**Trade-off:**
Adds time to each task, but prevents entire classes of bugs.
---
### 8. subagent-driven-development: Allow Implementer to Fix Self-Identified Issues
**Modify Step 2:**
**Current:**
```
Subagent reports back with summary of work.
```
**Proposed:**
```
Subagent performs self-reflection, then:
IF self-reflection identifies fixable issues:
1. Fix the issues
2. Re-run verification
3. Report: "Initial implementation + self-reflection fix"
ELSE:
Report: "Implementation complete"
Include in report:
- Self-reflection findings
- Whether fixes were applied
- Final verification results
```
**Why this works:**
Reduces latency when implementer already knows the fix. Documented case: would have saved one round-trip for entrypoint bug.
**Trade-off:**
Slightly more complex prompt, but faster end-to-end.
---
## Implementation Plan
### Phase 1: High-Impact, Low-Risk (Do First)
1. **verification-before-completion: Configuration change verification**
- Clear addition, doesn't change existing content
- Addresses high-impact problem (false confidence in tests)
- File: `skills/verification-before-completion/SKILL.md`
2. **testing-anti-patterns: Mock-interface drift**
- Adds new anti-pattern, doesn't modify existing
- Addresses high-impact problem (runtime crashes)
- File: `skills/testing-anti-patterns/SKILL.md`
3. **requesting-code-review: Explicit file reading**
- Simple addition to template
- Fixes concrete problem (reviewers can't find files)
- File: `skills/requesting-code-review/SKILL.md`
### Phase 2: Moderate Changes (Test Carefully)
4. **subagent-driven-development: Process hygiene**
- Adds new section, doesn't change workflow
- Addresses medium-high impact (test reliability)
- File: `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md`
5. **subagent-driven-development: Self-reflection**
- Changes prompt template (higher risk)
- But documented to catch bugs
- File: `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md`
6. **subagent-driven-development: Skills reading requirement**
- Adds prompt overhead
- But ensures skills are actually used
- File: `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md`
### Phase 3: Optimization (Validate First)
7. **subagent-driven-development: Lean context option**
- Adds complexity (two approaches)
- Needs validation that it doesn't cause confusion
- File: `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md`
8. **subagent-driven-development: Allow implementer to fix**
- Changes workflow (higher risk)
- Optimization, not bug fix
- File: `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md`
---
## Open Questions
1. **Lean context approach:**
- Should we make it the default for pattern-based tasks?
- How do we decide which approach to use?
- Risk of being too lean and missing important context?
2. **Self-reflection:**
- Will this slow down simple tasks significantly?
- Should it only apply to complex tasks?
- How do we prevent "reflection fatigue" where it becomes rote?
3. **Process hygiene:**
- Should this be in subagent-driven-development or a separate skill?
- Does it apply to other workflows beyond E2E tests?
- How do we handle cases where process SHOULD persist (dev servers)?
4. **Skills reading enforcement:**
- Should we require ALL subagents to read relevant skills?
- How do we keep prompts from becoming too long?
- Risk of over-documenting and losing focus?
---
## Success Metrics
How do we know these improvements work?
1. **Configuration verification:**
- Zero instances of "test passed but wrong config was used"
- Jesse doesn't say "that's not actually testing what you think"
2. **Process hygiene:**
- Zero instances of "test hit wrong server"
- No port conflict errors during E2E test runs
3. **Mock-interface drift:**
- Zero instances of "tests pass but runtime crashes on missing method"
- No method name mismatches between mocks and interfaces
4. **Self-reflection:**
- Measurable: Do implementer reports include self-reflection findings?
- Qualitative: Do fewer bugs make it to code review?
5. **Skills reading:**
- Subagent reports reference skill gate functions
- Fewer anti-pattern violations in code review
---
## Risks and Mitigations
### Risk: Prompt Bloat
**Problem:** Adding all these requirements makes prompts overwhelming
**Mitigation:**
- Phase implementation (don't add everything at once)
- Make some additions conditional (E2E hygiene only for E2E tests)
- Consider templates for different task types
### Risk: Analysis Paralysis
**Problem:** Too much reflection/verification slows execution
**Mitigation:**
- Keep gate functions quick (seconds, not minutes)
- Make lean context opt-in initially
- Monitor task completion times
### Risk: False Sense of Security
**Problem:** Following checklist doesn't guarantee correctness
**Mitigation:**
- Emphasize gate functions are minimums, not maximums
- Keep "use judgment" language in skills
- Document that skills catch common failures, not all failures
### Risk: Skill Divergence
**Problem:** Different skills give conflicting advice
**Mitigation:**
- Review changes across all skills for consistency
- Document how skills interact (Integration sections)
- Test with real scenarios before deployment
---
## Recommendation
**Proceed with Phase 1 immediately:**
- verification-before-completion: Configuration change verification
- testing-anti-patterns: Mock-interface drift
- requesting-code-review: Explicit file reading
**Test Phase 2 with Jesse before finalizing:**
- Get feedback on self-reflection impact
- Validate process hygiene approach
- Confirm skills reading requirement is worth overhead
**Hold Phase 3 pending validation:**
- Lean context needs real-world testing
- Implementer-fix workflow change needs careful evaluation
These changes address real problems documented by users while minimizing risk of making skills worse.

# Visual Brainstorming Companion Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** Give Claude a browser-based visual companion for brainstorming sessions - show mockups, prototypes, and interactive choices alongside terminal conversation.
**Architecture:** Claude writes HTML to a temp file. A local Node.js server watches that file and serves it with an auto-injected helper library. User interactions flow via WebSocket to server stdout, which Claude sees in background task output.
**Tech Stack:** Node.js, Express, ws (WebSocket), chokidar (file watching)
---
## Task 1: Create the Server Foundation
**Files:**
- Create: `lib/brainstorm-server/index.js`
- Create: `lib/brainstorm-server/package.json`
**Step 1: Create package.json**
```json
{
"name": "brainstorm-server",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Visual brainstorming companion server for Claude Code",
"main": "index.js",
"dependencies": {
"chokidar": "^3.5.3",
"express": "^4.18.2",
"ws": "^8.14.2"
}
}
```
**Step 2: Create minimal server that starts**
```javascript
const express = require('express');
const http = require('http');
const WebSocket = require('ws');
const chokidar = require('chokidar');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const PORT = process.env.BRAINSTORM_PORT || 3333;
const SCREEN_FILE = process.env.BRAINSTORM_SCREEN || '/tmp/brainstorm/screen.html';
const SCREEN_DIR = path.dirname(SCREEN_FILE);
// Ensure screen directory exists
if (!fs.existsSync(SCREEN_DIR)) {
fs.mkdirSync(SCREEN_DIR, { recursive: true });
}
// Create default screen if none exists
if (!fs.existsSync(SCREEN_FILE)) {
fs.writeFileSync(SCREEN_FILE, `<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Brainstorm Companion</title>
<style>
body { font-family: system-ui, sans-serif; padding: 2rem; max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; }
h1 { color: #333; }
p { color: #666; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Brainstorm Companion</h1>
<p>Waiting for Claude to push a screen...</p>
</body>
</html>`);
}
const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ server });
// Track connected browsers for reload notifications
const clients = new Set();
wss.on('connection', (ws) => {
clients.add(ws);
ws.on('close', () => clients.delete(ws));
ws.on('message', (data) => {
// User interaction event - write to stdout for Claude
const event = JSON.parse(data.toString());
console.log(JSON.stringify({ type: 'user-event', ...event }));
});
});
// Serve current screen with helper.js injected
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
let html = fs.readFileSync(SCREEN_FILE, 'utf-8');
// Inject helper script before </body>
const helperScript = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'helper.js'), 'utf-8');
const injection = `<script>\n${helperScript}\n</script>`;
if (html.includes('</body>')) {
html = html.replace('</body>', `${injection}\n</body>`);
} else {
html += injection;
}
res.type('html').send(html);
});
// Watch for screen file changes
chokidar.watch(SCREEN_FILE).on('change', () => {
console.log(JSON.stringify({ type: 'screen-updated', file: SCREEN_FILE }));
// Notify all browsers to reload
clients.forEach(ws => {
if (ws.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'reload' }));
}
});
});
server.listen(PORT, '127.0.0.1', () => {
console.log(JSON.stringify({ type: 'server-started', port: PORT, url: `http://localhost:${PORT}` }));
});
```
**Step 3: Run npm install**
Run: `cd lib/brainstorm-server && npm install`
Expected: Dependencies installed
**Step 4: Test server starts**
Run: `cd lib/brainstorm-server && timeout 3 node index.js || true`
Expected: See JSON with `server-started` and port info
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add lib/brainstorm-server/
git commit -m "feat: add brainstorm server foundation"
```
---
## Task 2: Create the Helper Library
**Files:**
- Create: `lib/brainstorm-server/helper.js`
**Step 1: Create helper.js with event auto-capture**
```javascript
(function() {
const WS_URL = 'ws://' + window.location.host;
let ws = null;
let eventQueue = [];
function connect() {
ws = new WebSocket(WS_URL);
ws.onopen = () => {
// Send any queued events
eventQueue.forEach(e => ws.send(JSON.stringify(e)));
eventQueue = [];
};
ws.onmessage = (msg) => {
const data = JSON.parse(msg.data);
if (data.type === 'reload') {
window.location.reload();
}
};
ws.onclose = () => {
// Reconnect after 1 second
setTimeout(connect, 1000);
};
}
function send(event) {
event.timestamp = Date.now();
if (ws && ws.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
ws.send(JSON.stringify(event));
} else {
eventQueue.push(event);
}
}
// Auto-capture clicks on interactive elements
document.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
const target = e.target.closest('button, a, [data-choice], [role="button"], input[type="submit"]');
if (!target) return;
// Don't capture regular link navigation
if (target.tagName === 'A' && !target.dataset.choice) return;
e.preventDefault();
send({
type: 'click',
text: target.textContent.trim(),
choice: target.dataset.choice || null,
id: target.id || null,
className: target.className || null
});
});
// Auto-capture form submissions
document.addEventListener('submit', (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const form = e.target;
const formData = new FormData(form);
const data = {};
formData.forEach((value, key) => { data[key] = value; });
send({
type: 'submit',
formId: form.id || null,
formName: form.name || null,
data: data
});
});
// Auto-capture input changes (debounced)
let inputTimeout = null;
document.addEventListener('input', (e) => {
const target = e.target;
if (!target.matches('input, textarea, select')) return;
clearTimeout(inputTimeout);
inputTimeout = setTimeout(() => {
send({
type: 'input',
name: target.name || null,
id: target.id || null,
value: target.value,
inputType: target.type || target.tagName.toLowerCase()
});
}, 500); // 500ms debounce
});
// Expose for explicit use if needed
window.brainstorm = {
send: send,
choice: (value, metadata = {}) => send({ type: 'choice', value, ...metadata })
};
connect();
})();
```
**Step 2: Verify helper.js is syntactically valid**
Run: `node -c lib/brainstorm-server/helper.js`
Expected: No syntax errors
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add lib/brainstorm-server/helper.js
git commit -m "feat: add browser helper library for event capture"
```

## Task 3: Write Tests for the Server
**Files:**
- Create: `tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js`
- Create: `tests/brainstorm-server/package.json`
**Step 1: Create test package.json**
```json
{
"name": "brainstorm-server-tests",
"version": "1.0.0",
"scripts": {
"test": "node server.test.js"
}
}
```
**Step 2: Write server tests**
```javascript
const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const http = require('http');
const WebSocket = require('ws');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const assert = require('assert');
const SERVER_PATH = path.join(__dirname, '../../lib/brainstorm-server/index.js');
const TEST_PORT = 3334;
const TEST_SCREEN = '/tmp/brainstorm-test/screen.html';
// Clean up test directory
function cleanup() {
if (fs.existsSync(path.dirname(TEST_SCREEN))) {
fs.rmSync(path.dirname(TEST_SCREEN), { recursive: true });
}
}
async function sleep(ms) {
return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}
async function fetch(url) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
http.get(url, (res) => {
let data = '';
res.on('data', chunk => data += chunk);
res.on('end', () => resolve({ status: res.statusCode, body: data }));
}).on('error', reject);
});
}
async function runTests() {
cleanup();
// Start server
const server = spawn('node', [SERVER_PATH], {
env: { ...process.env, BRAINSTORM_PORT: TEST_PORT, BRAINSTORM_SCREEN: TEST_SCREEN }
});
let stdout = '';
server.stdout.on('data', (data) => { stdout += data.toString(); });
server.stderr.on('data', (data) => { console.error('Server stderr:', data.toString()); });
await sleep(1000); // Wait for server to start
try {
// Test 1: Server starts and outputs JSON
console.log('Test 1: Server startup message');
assert(stdout.includes('server-started'), 'Should output server-started');
assert(stdout.includes(TEST_PORT.toString()), 'Should include port');
console.log(' PASS');
// Test 2: GET / returns HTML with helper injected
console.log('Test 2: Serves HTML with helper injected');
const res = await fetch(`http://localhost:${TEST_PORT}/`);
assert.strictEqual(res.status, 200);
assert(res.body.includes('brainstorm'), 'Should include brainstorm content');
assert(res.body.includes('WebSocket'), 'Should have helper.js injected');
console.log(' PASS');
// Test 3: WebSocket connection and event relay
console.log('Test 3: WebSocket relays events to stdout');
stdout = ''; // Reset stdout capture
const ws = new WebSocket(`ws://localhost:${TEST_PORT}`);
await new Promise(resolve => ws.on('open', resolve));
ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'click', text: 'Test Button' }));
await sleep(100);
assert(stdout.includes('user-event'), 'Should relay user events');
assert(stdout.includes('Test Button'), 'Should include event data');
ws.close();
console.log(' PASS');
// Test 4: File change triggers reload notification
console.log('Test 4: File change notifies browsers');
const ws2 = new WebSocket(`ws://localhost:${TEST_PORT}`);
await new Promise(resolve => ws2.on('open', resolve));
let gotReload = false;
ws2.on('message', (data) => {
const msg = JSON.parse(data.toString());
if (msg.type === 'reload') gotReload = true;
});
// Modify the screen file
fs.writeFileSync(TEST_SCREEN, '<html><body>Updated</body></html>');
await sleep(500);
assert(gotReload, 'Should send reload message on file change');
ws2.close();
console.log(' PASS');
console.log('\nAll tests passed!');
} finally {
server.kill();
cleanup();
}
}
runTests().catch(err => {
console.error('Test failed:', err);
process.exit(1);
});
```
**Step 3: Run tests**
Run: `cd tests/brainstorm-server && npm install ws && node server.test.js`
Expected: All tests pass
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add tests/brainstorm-server/
git commit -m "test: add brainstorm server integration tests"
```

## Task 4: Add Visual Companion to Brainstorming Skill
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/brainstorming/SKILL.md`
- Create: `skills/brainstorming/visual-companion.md` (supporting doc)
**Step 1: Create the supporting documentation**
Create `skills/brainstorming/visual-companion.md`:
```markdown
# Visual Companion Reference
## Starting the Server
Run as a background job:
```bash
node ${PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/brainstorm-server/index.js
```
Tell the user: "I've started a visual companion at http://localhost:3333 - open it in a browser."
## Pushing Screens
Write HTML to `/tmp/brainstorm/screen.html`. The server watches this file and auto-refreshes the browser.
## Reading User Responses
Check the background task output for JSON events:
```json
{"type":"user-event","type":"click","text":"Option A","choice":"optionA","timestamp":1234567890}
{"type":"user-event","type":"submit","data":{"notes":"My feedback"},"timestamp":1234567891}
```
Event types:
- **click**: User clicked button or `data-choice` element
- **submit**: User submitted form (includes all form data)
- **input**: User typed in field (debounced 500ms)
## HTML Patterns
### Choice Cards
```html
<div class="options">
<button data-choice="optionA">
<h3>Option A</h3>
<p>Description</p>
</button>
<button data-choice="optionB">
<h3>Option B</h3>
<p>Description</p>
</button>
</div>
```
### Interactive Mockup
```html
<div class="mockup">
<header data-choice="header">App Header</header>
<nav data-choice="nav">Navigation</nav>
<main data-choice="main">Content</main>
</div>
```
### Form with Notes
```html
<form>
<label>Priority: <input type="range" name="priority" min="1" max="5"></label>
<textarea name="notes" placeholder="Additional thoughts..."></textarea>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
```
### Explicit JavaScript
```html
<button onclick="brainstorm.choice('custom', {extra: 'data'})">Custom</button>
```
```
**Step 2: Add visual companion section to brainstorming skill**
Add after "Key Principles" in `skills/brainstorming/SKILL.md`:
```markdown
## Visual Companion (Optional)
When brainstorming involves visual elements - UI mockups, wireframes, interactive prototypes - use the browser-based visual companion.
**When to use:**
- Presenting UI/UX options that benefit from visual comparison
- Showing wireframes or layout options
- Gathering structured feedback (ratings, forms)
- Prototyping click interactions
**How it works:**
1. Start the server as a background job
2. Tell user to open http://localhost:3333
3. Write HTML to `/tmp/brainstorm/screen.html` (auto-refreshes)
4. Check background task output for user interactions
The terminal remains the primary conversation interface. The browser is a visual aid.
**Reference:** See `visual-companion.md` in this skill directory for HTML patterns and API details.
```
**Step 3: Verify the edits**
Run: `grep -A5 "Visual Companion" skills/brainstorming/SKILL.md`
Expected: Shows the new section
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/brainstorming/
git commit -m "feat: add visual companion to brainstorming skill"
```
---
## Task 5: Add Server to Plugin Ignore (Optional Cleanup)
**Files:**
- Check if `.gitignore` needs node_modules exclusion for lib/brainstorm-server
**Step 1: Check current gitignore**
Run: `cat .gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo "No .gitignore"`
**Step 2: Add node_modules if needed**
If not already present, add:
```
lib/brainstorm-server/node_modules/
```
**Step 3: Commit if changed**
```bash
git add .gitignore
git commit -m "chore: ignore brainstorm-server node_modules"
```
---
## Summary
After completing all tasks:
1. **Server** at `lib/brainstorm-server/` - Node.js server that watches HTML file and relays events
2. **Helper library** auto-injected - captures clicks, forms, inputs
3. **Tests** at `tests/brainstorm-server/` - verifies server behavior
4. **Brainstorming skill** updated with visual companion section and `visual-companion.md` reference doc
**To use:**
1. Start server as background job: `node lib/brainstorm-server/index.js &`
2. Tell user to open `http://localhost:3333`
3. Write HTML to `/tmp/brainstorm/screen.html`
4. Check task output for user events

# Document Review System Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (if subagents available) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan.
**Goal:** Add spec and plan document review loops to the brainstorming and writing-plans skills.
**Architecture:** Create reviewer prompt templates in each skill directory. Modify skill files to add review loops after document creation. Use Task tool with general-purpose subagent for reviewer dispatch.
**Tech Stack:** Markdown skill files, subagent dispatch via Task tool
**Spec:** docs/superpowers/specs/2026-01-22-document-review-system-design.md
---
## Chunk 1: Spec Document Reviewer
This chunk adds the spec document reviewer to the brainstorming skill.
### Task 1: Create Spec Document Reviewer Prompt Template
**Files:**
- Create: `skills/brainstorming/spec-document-reviewer-prompt.md`
- [ ] **Step 1:** Create the reviewer prompt template file
```markdown
# Spec Document Reviewer Prompt Template
Use this template when dispatching a spec document reviewer subagent.
**Purpose:** Verify the spec is complete, consistent, and ready for implementation planning.
**Dispatch after:** Spec document is written to docs/superpowers/specs/
```
Task tool (general-purpose):
description: "Review spec document"
prompt: |
You are a spec document reviewer. Verify this spec is complete and ready for planning.
**Spec to review:** [SPEC_FILE_PATH]
## What to Check
| Category | What to Look For |
|----------|------------------|
| Completeness | TODOs, placeholders, "TBD", incomplete sections |
| Coverage | Missing error handling, edge cases, integration points |
| Consistency | Internal contradictions, conflicting requirements |
| Clarity | Ambiguous requirements |
| YAGNI | Unrequested features, over-engineering |
## CRITICAL
Look especially hard for:
- Any TODO markers or placeholder text
- Sections saying "to be defined later" or "will spec when X is done"
- Sections noticeably less detailed than others
## Output Format
## Spec Review
**Status:** ✅ Approved | ❌ Issues Found
**Issues (if any):**
- [Section X]: [specific issue] - [why it matters]
**Recommendations (advisory):**
- [suggestions that don't block approval]
```
**Reviewer returns:** Status, Issues (if any), Recommendations
```
- [ ] **Step 2:** Verify the file was created correctly
Run: `cat skills/brainstorming/spec-document-reviewer-prompt.md | head -20`
Expected: Shows the header and purpose section
- [ ] **Step 3:** Commit
```bash
git add skills/brainstorming/spec-document-reviewer-prompt.md
git commit -m "feat: add spec document reviewer prompt template"
```
---
### Task 2: Add Review Loop to Brainstorming Skill
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/brainstorming/SKILL.md`
- [ ] **Step 1:** Read the current brainstorming skill
Run: `cat skills/brainstorming/SKILL.md`
- [ ] **Step 2:** Add the review loop section after "After the Design"
Find the "After the Design" section and add a new "Spec Review Loop" section after documentation but before implementation:
```markdown
**Spec Review Loop:**
After writing the spec document:
1. Dispatch spec-document-reviewer subagent (see spec-document-reviewer-prompt.md)
2. If ❌ Issues Found:
- Fix the issues in the spec document
- Re-dispatch reviewer
- Repeat until ✅ Approved
3. If ✅ Approved: proceed to implementation setup
**Review loop guidance:**
- Same agent that wrote the spec fixes it (preserves context)
- If loop exceeds 5 iterations, surface to human for guidance
- Reviewers are advisory - explain disagreements if you believe feedback is incorrect
```
- [ ] **Step 3:** Verify the changes
Run: `grep -A 15 "Spec Review Loop" skills/brainstorming/SKILL.md`
Expected: Shows the new review loop section
- [ ] **Step 4:** Commit

- Provide: chunk content, path to spec document
2. If ❌ Issues Found:
- Fix the issues in the chunk
- Re-dispatch reviewer for that chunk
- Repeat until ✅ Approved
3. If ✅ Approved: proceed to next chunk (or execution handoff if last chunk)
**Chunk boundaries:** Use `## Chunk N: <name>` headings to delimit chunks. Each chunk should be ≤1000 lines and logically self-contained.
```
- [ ] **Step 3:** Update task syntax examples to use checkboxes
Change the Task Structure section to show checkbox syntax:
```markdown
### Task N: [Component Name]
- [ ] **Step 1:** Write the failing test
- File: `tests/path/test.py`
...
```

# Visual Brainstorming Refactor Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (if subagents available) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Refactor visual brainstorming from blocking TUI feedback model to non-blocking "Browser Displays, Terminal Commands" architecture.
**Architecture:** Browser becomes an interactive display; terminal stays the conversation channel. Server writes user events to a per-screen `.events` file that Claude reads on its next turn. Eliminates `wait-for-feedback.sh` and all `TaskOutput` blocking.
**Tech Stack:** Node.js (Express, ws, chokidar), vanilla HTML/CSS/JS
**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-02-19-visual-brainstorming-refactor-design.md`
---
## File Map
| File | Action | Responsibility |
|------|--------|---------------|
| `lib/brainstorm-server/index.js` | Modify | Server: add `.events` file writing, clear on new screen, replace `wrapInFrame` |
| `lib/brainstorm-server/frame-template.html` | Modify | Template: remove feedback footer, add content placeholder + selection indicator |
| `lib/brainstorm-server/helper.js` | Modify | Client JS: remove send/feedback functions, narrow to click capture + indicator updates |
| `lib/brainstorm-server/wait-for-feedback.sh` | Delete | No longer needed |
| `skills/brainstorming/visual-companion.md` | Modify | Skill instructions: rewrite loop to non-blocking flow |
| `tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js` | Modify | Tests: update for new template structure and helper.js API |
---
## Chunk 1: Server, Template, Client, Tests, Skill
### Task 1: Update `frame-template.html`
**Files:**
- Modify: `lib/brainstorm-server/frame-template.html`
- [ ] **Step 1: Remove the feedback footer HTML**
Replace the feedback-footer div (lines 227-233) with a selection indicator bar:
```html
<div class="indicator-bar">
<span id="indicator-text">Click an option above, then return to the terminal</span>
</div>
```
Also replace the default content inside `#claude-content` (lines 220-223) with the content placeholder:
```html
<div id="claude-content">
<!-- CONTENT -->
</div>
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Replace feedback footer CSS with indicator bar CSS**
Remove the `.feedback-footer`, `.feedback-footer label`, `.feedback-row`, and the textarea/button styles within `.feedback-footer` (lines 82-112).
Add indicator bar CSS:
```css
.indicator-bar {
background: var(--bg-secondary);
border-top: 1px solid var(--border);
padding: 0.5rem 1.5rem;
flex-shrink: 0;
text-align: center;
}
.indicator-bar span {
font-size: 0.75rem;
color: var(--text-secondary);
}
.indicator-bar .selected-text {
color: var(--accent);
font-weight: 500;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify template renders**
Run the test suite to check the template still loads:
```bash
cd /Users/drewritter/prime-rad/superpowers && node tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js
```
Expected: Tests 1-5 should still pass. Tests 6-8 may fail (expected — they assert old structure).
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add lib/brainstorm-server/frame-template.html
git commit -m "Replace feedback footer with selection indicator bar in brainstorm template"
```
---
### Task 2: Update `index.js` — content injection and `.events` file
**Files:**
- Modify: `lib/brainstorm-server/index.js`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing test for `.events` file writing**
Add to `tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js` after Test 4 area — a new test that sends a WebSocket event with a `choice` field and verifies `.events` file is written:
```javascript
// Test: Choice events written to .events file
console.log('Test: Choice events written to .events file');
const ws3 = new WebSocket(`ws://localhost:${TEST_PORT}`);
await new Promise(resolve => ws3.on('open', resolve));
ws3.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'click', choice: 'a', text: 'Option A' }));
await sleep(300);
const eventsFile = path.join(TEST_DIR, '.events');
assert(fs.existsSync(eventsFile), '.events file should exist after choice click');
const lines = fs.readFileSync(eventsFile, 'utf-8').trim().split('\n');
const event = JSON.parse(lines[lines.length - 1]);
assert.strictEqual(event.choice, 'a', 'Event should contain choice');
assert.strictEqual(event.text, 'Option A', 'Event should contain text');
ws3.close();
console.log(' PASS');
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
```bash
cd /Users/drewritter/prime-rad/superpowers && node tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js
```
Expected: New test FAILS — `.events` file doesn't exist yet.
- [ ] **Step 3: Write failing test for `.events` file clearing on new screen**
Add another test:
```javascript
// Test: .events cleared on new screen
console.log('Test: .events cleared on new screen');
// .events file should still exist from previous test
assert(fs.existsSync(path.join(TEST_DIR, '.events')), '.events should exist before new screen');
fs.writeFileSync(path.join(TEST_DIR, 'new-screen.html'), '<h2>New screen</h2>');
await sleep(500);
assert(!fs.existsSync(path.join(TEST_DIR, '.events')), '.events should be cleared after new screen');
console.log(' PASS');
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run test to verify it fails**
```bash
cd /Users/drewritter/prime-rad/superpowers && node tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js
```
Expected: New test FAILS — `.events` not cleared on screen push.
- [ ] **Step 5: Implement `.events` file writing in `index.js`**
In the WebSocket `message` handler (line 74-77 of `index.js`), after the `console.log`, add:
```javascript
// Write user events to .events file for Claude to read
if (event.choice) {
const eventsFile = path.join(SCREEN_DIR, '.events');
fs.appendFileSync(eventsFile, JSON.stringify(event) + '\n');
}
```
In the chokidar `add` handler (line 104-111), add `.events` clearing:
```javascript
if (filePath.endsWith('.html')) {
// Clear events from previous screen
const eventsFile = path.join(SCREEN_DIR, '.events');
if (fs.existsSync(eventsFile)) fs.unlinkSync(eventsFile);
console.log(JSON.stringify({ type: 'screen-added', file: filePath }));
// ... existing reload broadcast
}
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Replace `wrapInFrame` with comment placeholder injection**
Replace the `wrapInFrame` function (lines 27-32 of `index.js`):
```javascript
function wrapInFrame(content) {
return frameTemplate.replace('<!-- CONTENT -->', content);
}
```
- [ ] **Step 7: Run all tests**
```bash
cd /Users/drewritter/prime-rad/superpowers && node tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js
```
Expected: New `.events` tests PASS. Existing tests may still have failures from old assertions (fixed in Task 4).
- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
```bash
git add lib/brainstorm-server/index.js tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js
git commit -m "Add .events file writing and comment-based content injection to brainstorm server"
```
---
### Task 3: Simplify `helper.js`
**Files:**
- Modify: `lib/brainstorm-server/helper.js`
- [ ] **Step 1: Remove `sendToClaude` function**
Delete the `sendToClaude` function (lines 92-106) — the function body and the page takeover HTML.
- [ ] **Step 2: Remove `window.send` function**
Delete the `window.send` function (lines 120-129) — was tied to the removed Send button.
- [ ] **Step 3: Remove form submission and input change handlers**
Delete the form submission handler (lines 57-71) and the input change handler (lines 73-89) including the `inputTimeout` variable.
- [ ] **Step 4: Remove `pageshow` event listener**
Delete the `pageshow` listener we added earlier (no textarea to clear anymore).
- [ ] **Step 5: Narrow click handler to `[data-choice]` only**
Replace the click handler (lines 36-55) with a narrower version:
```javascript
// Capture clicks on choice elements
document.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
const target = e.target.closest('[data-choice]');
if (!target) return;
sendEvent({
type: 'click',
text: target.textContent.trim(),
choice: target.dataset.choice,
id: target.id || null
});
});
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Add indicator bar update on choice click**
After the `sendEvent` call in the click handler, add:
```javascript
// Update indicator bar
const indicator = document.getElementById('indicator-text');
if (indicator) {
const label = target.querySelector('h3, .content h3, .card-body h3')?.textContent?.trim() || target.dataset.choice;
indicator.innerHTML = '<span class="selected-text">' + label + ' selected</span> — return to terminal to continue';
}
```
- [ ] **Step 7: Remove `sendToClaude` from `window.brainstorm` API**
Update the `window.brainstorm` object (lines 132-136) to remove `sendToClaude`:
```javascript
window.brainstorm = {
send: sendEvent,
choice: (value, metadata = {}) => sendEvent({ type: 'choice', value, ...metadata })
};
```
- [ ] **Step 8: Run tests**
```bash
cd /Users/drewritter/prime-rad/superpowers && node tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js
```
- [ ] **Step 9: Commit**
```bash
git add lib/brainstorm-server/helper.js
git commit -m "Simplify helper.js: remove feedback functions, narrow to choice capture + indicator"
```
---
### Task 4: Update tests for new structure
**Files:**
- Modify: `tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js`
**Note:** Line references below are from the _original_ file. Task 2 inserted new tests earlier in the file, so actual line numbers will be shifted. Find tests by their `console.log` labels (e.g., "Test 5:", "Test 6:").
- [ ] **Step 1: Update Test 5 (full document assertion)**
Find the Test 5 assertion `!fullRes.body.includes('feedback-footer')`. Change it to: Full documents should NOT have the indicator bar either (they're served as-is):
```javascript
assert(!fullRes.body.includes('indicator-bar') || fullDoc.includes('indicator-bar'),
'Should not wrap full documents in frame template');
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Update Test 6 (fragment wrapping)**
Line 125: Replace `feedback-footer` assertion with indicator bar assertion:
```javascript
assert(fragRes.body.includes('indicator-bar'), 'Fragment should get indicator bar from frame');
```
Also verify content placeholder was replaced (fragment content appears, placeholder comment doesn't):
```javascript
assert(!fragRes.body.includes('<!-- CONTENT -->'), 'Content placeholder should be replaced');
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Update Test 7 (helper.js API)**
Lines 140-142: Update assertions to reflect the new API surface:
```javascript
assert(helperContent.includes('toggleSelect'), 'helper.js should define toggleSelect');
assert(helperContent.includes('sendEvent'), 'helper.js should define sendEvent');
assert(helperContent.includes('selectedChoice'), 'helper.js should track selectedChoice');
assert(helperContent.includes('brainstorm'), 'helper.js should expose brainstorm API');
assert(!helperContent.includes('sendToClaude'), 'helper.js should not contain sendToClaude');
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Replace Test 8 (sendToClaude theming) with indicator bar test**
Replace Test 8 (lines 145-149) — `sendToClaude` no longer exists. Test the indicator bar instead:
```javascript
// Test 8: Indicator bar uses CSS variables (theme support)
console.log('Test 8: Indicator bar uses CSS variables');
const templateContent = fs.readFileSync(
path.join(__dirname, '../../lib/brainstorm-server/frame-template.html'), 'utf-8'
);
assert(templateContent.includes('indicator-bar'), 'Template should have indicator bar');
assert(templateContent.includes('indicator-text'), 'Template should have indicator text element');
console.log(' PASS');
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Run full test suite**
```bash
cd /Users/drewritter/prime-rad/superpowers && node tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js
```
Expected: ALL tests PASS.
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js
git commit -m "Update brainstorm server tests for new template structure and helper.js API"
```
---
### Task 5: Delete `wait-for-feedback.sh`
**Files:**
- Delete: `lib/brainstorm-server/wait-for-feedback.sh`
- [ ] **Step 1: Verify no other files import or reference `wait-for-feedback.sh`**
Search the codebase:
```bash
grep -r "wait-for-feedback" /Users/drewritter/prime-rad/superpowers/ --include="*.js" --include="*.md" --include="*.sh" --include="*.json"
```
Expected references: only `visual-companion.md` (rewritten in Task 6) and possibly release notes (historical, leave as-is).
- [ ] **Step 2: Delete the file**
```bash
rm lib/brainstorm-server/wait-for-feedback.sh
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests to confirm nothing breaks**
```bash
cd /Users/drewritter/prime-rad/superpowers && node tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js
```
Expected: All tests PASS (no test referenced this file).
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add -u lib/brainstorm-server/wait-for-feedback.sh
git commit -m "Delete wait-for-feedback.sh: replaced by .events file"
```
---
### Task 6: Rewrite `visual-companion.md`
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/brainstorming/visual-companion.md`
- [ ] **Step 1: Update "How It Works" description (line 18)**
Replace the sentence about receiving feedback "as JSON" with:
```markdown
The server watches a directory for HTML files and serves the newest one to the browser. You write HTML content, the user sees it in their browser and can click to select options. Selections are recorded to a `.events` file that you read on your next turn.
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Update fragment description (line 20)**
Remove "feedback footer" from the description of what the frame template provides:
```markdown
**Content fragments vs full documents:** If your HTML file starts with `<!DOCTYPE` or `<html`, the server serves it as-is (just injects the helper script). Otherwise, the server automatically wraps your content in the frame template — adding the header, CSS theme, selection indicator, and all interactive infrastructure. **Write content fragments by default.** Only write full documents when you need complete control over the page.
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Rewrite "The Loop" section (lines 36-61)**
Replace the entire "The Loop" section with:
```markdown
## The Loop
1. **Write HTML** to a new file in `screen_dir`:
- Use semantic filenames: `platform.html`, `visual-style.html`, `layout.html`
- **Never reuse filenames** — each screen gets a fresh file
- Use Write tool — **never use cat/heredoc** (dumps noise into terminal)
- Server automatically serves the newest file
2. **Tell user what to expect and end your turn:**
- Remind them of the URL (every step, not just first)
- Give a brief text summary of what's on screen (e.g., "Showing 3 layout options for the homepage")
- Ask them to respond in the terminal: "Take a look and let me know what you think. Click to select an option if you'd like."
3. **On your next turn** — after the user responds in the terminal:
- Read `$SCREEN_DIR/.events` if it exists — this contains the user's browser interactions (clicks, selections) as JSON lines
- Merge with the user's terminal text to get the full picture
- The terminal message is the primary feedback; `.events` provides structured interaction data
4. **Iterate or advance** — if feedback changes current screen, write a new file (e.g., `layout-v2.html`). Only move to the next question when the current step is validated.
5. Repeat until done.
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Replace "User Feedback Format" section (lines 165-174)**
Replace with:
```markdown
## Browser Events Format
When the user clicks options in the browser, their interactions are recorded to `$SCREEN_DIR/.events` (one JSON object per line). The file is cleared automatically when you push a new screen.
```jsonl
{"type":"click","choice":"a","text":"Option A - Simple Layout","timestamp":1706000101}
{"type":"click","choice":"c","text":"Option C - Complex Grid","timestamp":1706000108}
{"type":"click","choice":"b","text":"Option B - Hybrid","timestamp":1706000115}
```
The full event stream shows the user's exploration path — they may click multiple options before settling. The last `choice` event is typically the final selection, but the pattern of clicks can reveal hesitation or preferences worth asking about.
If `.events` doesn't exist, the user didn't interact with the browser — use only their terminal text.
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Update "Writing Content Fragments" description (line 65)**
Remove "feedback footer" reference:
```markdown
Write just the content that goes inside the page. The server wraps it in the frame template automatically (header, theme CSS, selection indicator, and all interactive infrastructure).
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Update Reference section (lines 200-203)**
Remove the helper.js reference description about "JS API" — the API is now minimal. Keep the path reference:
```markdown
## Reference
- Frame template (CSS reference): `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/brainstorm-server/frame-template.html`
- Helper script (client-side): `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/brainstorm-server/helper.js`
```
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/brainstorming/visual-companion.md
git commit -m "Rewrite visual-companion.md for non-blocking browser-displays-terminal-commands flow"
```
---
### Task 7: Final verification
- [ ] **Step 1: Run full test suite**
```bash
cd /Users/drewritter/prime-rad/superpowers && node tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js
```
Expected: ALL tests PASS.
- [ ] **Step 2: Manual smoke test**
Start the server manually and verify the flow works end-to-end:
```bash
cd /Users/drewritter/prime-rad/superpowers && lib/brainstorm-server/start-server.sh --project-dir /tmp/brainstorm-smoke-test
```
Write a test fragment, open in browser, click an option, verify `.events` file is written, verify indicator bar updates. Then stop the server:
```bash
lib/brainstorm-server/stop-server.sh <screen_dir from start output>
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify no stale references remain**
```bash
grep -r "wait-for-feedback\|sendToClaude\|feedback-footer\|send-to-claude\|TaskOutput.*block.*true" /Users/drewritter/prime-rad/superpowers/ --include="*.js" --include="*.md" --include="*.sh" --include="*.html" | grep -v node_modules | grep -v RELEASE-NOTES | grep -v "\.md:.*spec\|plan"
```
Expected: No hits outside of release notes and the spec/plan docs (which are historical).
- [ ] **Step 4: Final commit if any cleanup needed**
```bash
git status
# Review untracked/modified files, stage specific files as needed, commit if clean
```

# Zero-Dependency Brainstorm Server Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (if subagents available) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Replace the brainstorm server's vendored node_modules with a single zero-dependency `server.js` using Node built-ins.
**Architecture:** Single file with WebSocket protocol (RFC 6455 text frames), HTTP server (`http` module), and file watching (`fs.watch`). Exports protocol functions for unit testing when required as a module.
**Tech Stack:** Node.js built-ins only: `http`, `crypto`, `fs`, `path`
**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-11-zero-dep-brainstorm-server-design.md`
**Existing tests:** `tests/brainstorm-server/ws-protocol.test.js` (unit), `tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js` (integration)
---
## File Map
- **Create:** `skills/brainstorming/scripts/server.js` — the zero-dep replacement
- **Modify:** `skills/brainstorming/scripts/start-server.sh:94,100` — change `index.js` to `server.js`
- **Modify:** `.gitignore:6` — remove the `!skills/brainstorming/scripts/node_modules/` exception
- **Delete:** `skills/brainstorming/scripts/index.js`
- **Delete:** `skills/brainstorming/scripts/package.json`
- **Delete:** `skills/brainstorming/scripts/package-lock.json`
- **Delete:** `skills/brainstorming/scripts/node_modules/` (714 files)
- **No changes:** `skills/brainstorming/scripts/helper.js`, `skills/brainstorming/scripts/frame-template.html`, `skills/brainstorming/scripts/stop-server.sh`
---
## Chunk 1: WebSocket Protocol Layer
### Task 1: Implement WebSocket protocol exports
**Files:**
- Create: `skills/brainstorming/scripts/server.js`
- Test: `tests/brainstorm-server/ws-protocol.test.js` (already exists)
- [ ] **Step 1: Create server.js with OPCODES constant and computeAcceptKey**
```js
const crypto = require('crypto');
const OPCODES = { TEXT: 0x01, CLOSE: 0x08, PING: 0x09, PONG: 0x0A };
const WS_MAGIC = '258EAFA5-E914-47DA-95CA-C5AB0DC85B11';
function computeAcceptKey(clientKey) {
return crypto.createHash('sha1').update(clientKey + WS_MAGIC).digest('base64');
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Implement encodeFrame**
Server frames are never masked. Three length encodings:
- payload < 126: 2-byte header (FIN+opcode, length)
- 126-65535: 4-byte header (FIN+opcode, 126, 16-bit length)
- &gt; 65535: 10-byte header (FIN+opcode, 127, 64-bit length)
```js
function encodeFrame(opcode, payload) {
const fin = 0x80;
const len = payload.length;
let header;
if (len < 126) {
header = Buffer.alloc(2);
header[0] = fin | opcode;
header[1] = len;
} else if (len < 65536) {
header = Buffer.alloc(4);
header[0] = fin | opcode;
header[1] = 126;
header.writeUInt16BE(len, 2);
} else {
header = Buffer.alloc(10);
header[0] = fin | opcode;
header[1] = 127;
header.writeBigUInt64BE(BigInt(len), 2);
}
return Buffer.concat([header, payload]);
}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Implement decodeFrame**
Client frames are always masked. Returns `{ opcode, payload, bytesConsumed }` or `null` for incomplete. Throws on unmasked frames.
```js
function decodeFrame(buffer) {
if (buffer.length < 2) return null;
const firstByte = buffer[0];
const secondByte = buffer[1];
const opcode = firstByte & 0x0F;
const masked = (secondByte & 0x80) !== 0;
let payloadLen = secondByte & 0x7F;
let offset = 2;
if (!masked) throw new Error('Client frames must be masked');
if (payloadLen === 126) {
if (buffer.length < 4) return null;
payloadLen = buffer.readUInt16BE(2);
offset = 4;
} else if (payloadLen === 127) {
if (buffer.length < 10) return null;
payloadLen = Number(buffer.readBigUInt64BE(2));
offset = 10;
}
const maskOffset = offset;
const dataOffset = offset + 4;
const totalLen = dataOffset + payloadLen;
if (buffer.length < totalLen) return null;
const mask = buffer.slice(maskOffset, dataOffset);
const data = Buffer.alloc(payloadLen);
for (let i = 0; i < payloadLen; i++) {
data[i] = buffer[dataOffset + i] ^ mask[i % 4];
}
return { opcode, payload: data, bytesConsumed: totalLen };
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Add module exports at the bottom of the file**
```js
module.exports = { computeAcceptKey, encodeFrame, decodeFrame, OPCODES };
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Run unit tests**
Run: `cd tests/brainstorm-server && node ws-protocol.test.js`
Expected: All tests pass (handshake, encoding, decoding, boundaries, edge cases)
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/brainstorming/scripts/server.js
git commit -m "Add WebSocket protocol layer for zero-dep brainstorm server"
```
---
## Chunk 2: HTTP Server and Application Logic
### Task 2: Add HTTP server, file watching, and WebSocket connection handling
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/brainstorming/scripts/server.js`
- Test: `tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js` (already exists)
- [ ] **Step 1: Add configuration and constants at top of server.js (after requires)**
```js
const http = require('http');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const PORT = process.env.BRAINSTORM_PORT || (49152 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 16383));
const HOST = process.env.BRAINSTORM_HOST || '127.0.0.1';
const URL_HOST = process.env.BRAINSTORM_URL_HOST || (HOST === '127.0.0.1' ? 'localhost' : HOST);
const SCREEN_DIR = process.env.BRAINSTORM_DIR || '/tmp/brainstorm';
const MIME_TYPES = {
'.html': 'text/html', '.css': 'text/css', '.js': 'application/javascript',
'.json': 'application/json', '.png': 'image/png', '.jpg': 'image/jpeg',
'.jpeg': 'image/jpeg', '.gif': 'image/gif', '.svg': 'image/svg+xml'
};
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add WAITING_PAGE, template loading at module scope, and helper functions**
Load `frameTemplate` and `helperInjection` at module scope so they're accessible to `wrapInFrame` and `handleRequest`. They only read files from `__dirname` (the scripts directory), which is valid whether the module is required or run directly.
```js
const WAITING_PAGE = `<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>Brainstorm Companion</title>
<style>body { font-family: system-ui, sans-serif; padding: 2rem; max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; }
h1 { color: #333; } p { color: #666; }</style>
</head>
<body><h1>Brainstorm Companion</h1>
<p>Waiting for Claude to push a screen...</p></body></html>`;
const frameTemplate = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'frame-template.html'), 'utf-8');
const helperScript = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'helper.js'), 'utf-8');
const helperInjection = '<script>\n' + helperScript + '\n</script>';
function isFullDocument(html) {
const trimmed = html.trimStart().toLowerCase();
return trimmed.startsWith('<!doctype') || trimmed.startsWith('<html');
}
function wrapInFrame(content) {
return frameTemplate.replace('<!-- CONTENT -->', content);
}
function getNewestScreen() {
const files = fs.readdirSync(SCREEN_DIR)
.filter(f => f.endsWith('.html'))
.map(f => {
const fp = path.join(SCREEN_DIR, f);
return { path: fp, mtime: fs.statSync(fp).mtime.getTime() };
})
.sort((a, b) => b.mtime - a.mtime);
return files.length > 0 ? files[0].path : null;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Add HTTP request handler**
```js
function handleRequest(req, res) {
if (req.method === 'GET' && req.url === '/') {
const screenFile = getNewestScreen();
let html = screenFile
? (raw => isFullDocument(raw) ? raw : wrapInFrame(raw))(fs.readFileSync(screenFile, 'utf-8'))
: WAITING_PAGE;
if (html.includes('</body>')) {
html = html.replace('</body>', helperInjection + '\n</body>');
} else {
html += helperInjection;
}
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });
res.end(html);
} else if (req.method === 'GET' && req.url.startsWith('/files/')) {
const fileName = req.url.slice(7); // strip '/files/'
const filePath = path.join(SCREEN_DIR, path.basename(fileName));
if (!fs.existsSync(filePath)) {
res.writeHead(404);
res.end('Not found');
return;
}
const ext = path.extname(filePath).toLowerCase();
const contentType = MIME_TYPES[ext] || 'application/octet-stream';
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': contentType });
res.end(fs.readFileSync(filePath));
} else {
res.writeHead(404);
res.end('Not found');
}
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Add WebSocket connection handling**
```js
const clients = new Set();
function handleUpgrade(req, socket) {
const key = req.headers['sec-websocket-key'];
if (!key) { socket.destroy(); return; }
const accept = computeAcceptKey(key);
socket.write(
'HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols\r\n' +
'Upgrade: websocket\r\n' +
'Connection: Upgrade\r\n' +
'Sec-WebSocket-Accept: ' + accept + '\r\n\r\n'
);
let buffer = Buffer.alloc(0);
clients.add(socket);
socket.on('data', (chunk) => {
buffer = Buffer.concat([buffer, chunk]);
while (buffer.length > 0) {
let result;
try {
result = decodeFrame(buffer);
} catch (e) {
socket.end(encodeFrame(OPCODES.CLOSE, Buffer.alloc(0)));
clients.delete(socket);
return;
}
if (!result) break;
buffer = buffer.slice(result.bytesConsumed);
switch (result.opcode) {
case OPCODES.TEXT:
handleMessage(result.payload.toString());
break;
case OPCODES.CLOSE:
socket.end(encodeFrame(OPCODES.CLOSE, Buffer.alloc(0)));
clients.delete(socket);
return;
case OPCODES.PING:
socket.write(encodeFrame(OPCODES.PONG, result.payload));
break;
case OPCODES.PONG:
break;
default:
// Unsupported opcode — close with 1003
const closeBuf = Buffer.alloc(2);
closeBuf.writeUInt16BE(1003);
socket.end(encodeFrame(OPCODES.CLOSE, closeBuf));
clients.delete(socket);
return;
}
}
});
socket.on('close', () => clients.delete(socket));
socket.on('error', () => clients.delete(socket));
}
function handleMessage(text) {
let event;
try {
event = JSON.parse(text);
} catch (e) {
console.error('Failed to parse WebSocket message:', e.message);
return;
}
console.log(JSON.stringify({ source: 'user-event', ...event }));
if (event.choice) {
const eventsFile = path.join(SCREEN_DIR, '.events');
fs.appendFileSync(eventsFile, JSON.stringify(event) + '\n');
}
}
function broadcast(msg) {
const frame = encodeFrame(OPCODES.TEXT, Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(msg)));
for (const socket of clients) {
try { socket.write(frame); } catch (e) { clients.delete(socket); }
}
}
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Add debounce timer map**
```js
const debounceTimers = new Map();
```
File watching logic is inlined in `startServer` (Step 6) to keep watcher lifecycle together with server lifecycle and include an `error` handler per spec.
- [ ] **Step 6: Add startServer function and conditional main**
`frameTemplate` and `helperInjection` are already at module scope (Step 2). `startServer` just creates the screen dir, starts the HTTP server, watcher, and logs startup info.
```js
function startServer() {
if (!fs.existsSync(SCREEN_DIR)) fs.mkdirSync(SCREEN_DIR, { recursive: true });
const server = http.createServer(handleRequest);
server.on('upgrade', handleUpgrade);
const watcher = fs.watch(SCREEN_DIR, (eventType, filename) => {
if (!filename || !filename.endsWith('.html')) return;
if (debounceTimers.has(filename)) clearTimeout(debounceTimers.get(filename));
debounceTimers.set(filename, setTimeout(() => {
debounceTimers.delete(filename);
const filePath = path.join(SCREEN_DIR, filename);
if (eventType === 'rename' && fs.existsSync(filePath)) {
const eventsFile = path.join(SCREEN_DIR, '.events');
if (fs.existsSync(eventsFile)) fs.unlinkSync(eventsFile);
console.log(JSON.stringify({ type: 'screen-added', file: filePath }));
} else if (eventType === 'change') {
console.log(JSON.stringify({ type: 'screen-updated', file: filePath }));
}
broadcast({ type: 'reload' });
}, 100));
});
watcher.on('error', (err) => console.error('fs.watch error:', err.message));
server.listen(PORT, HOST, () => {
const info = JSON.stringify({
type: 'server-started', port: Number(PORT), host: HOST,
url_host: URL_HOST, url: 'http://' + URL_HOST + ':' + PORT,
screen_dir: SCREEN_DIR
});
console.log(info);
fs.writeFileSync(path.join(SCREEN_DIR, '.server-info'), info + '\n');
});
}
if (require.main === module) {
startServer();
}
```
- [ ] **Step 7: Run integration tests**
The test directory already has a `package.json` with `ws` as a dependency. Install it if needed, then run tests.
Run: `cd tests/brainstorm-server && npm install && node server.test.js`
Expected: All tests pass
- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/brainstorming/scripts/server.js
git commit -m "Add HTTP server, WebSocket handling, and file watching to server.js"
```
---
## Chunk 3: Swap and Cleanup
### Task 3: Update start-server.sh and remove old files
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/brainstorming/scripts/start-server.sh:94,100`
- Modify: `.gitignore:6`
- Delete: `skills/brainstorming/scripts/index.js`
- Delete: `skills/brainstorming/scripts/package.json`
- Delete: `skills/brainstorming/scripts/package-lock.json`
- Delete: `skills/brainstorming/scripts/node_modules/` (entire directory)
- [ ] **Step 1: Update start-server.sh — change `index.js` to `server.js`**
Two lines to change:
Line 94: `env BRAINSTORM_DIR="$SCREEN_DIR" BRAINSTORM_HOST="$BIND_HOST" BRAINSTORM_URL_HOST="$URL_HOST" node server.js`
Line 100: `nohup env BRAINSTORM_DIR="$SCREEN_DIR" BRAINSTORM_HOST="$BIND_HOST" BRAINSTORM_URL_HOST="$URL_HOST" node server.js > "$LOG_FILE" 2>&1 &`
- [ ] **Step 2: Remove the gitignore exception for node_modules**
In `.gitignore`, delete line 6: `!skills/brainstorming/scripts/node_modules/`
- [ ] **Step 3: Delete old files**
```bash
git rm skills/brainstorming/scripts/index.js
git rm skills/brainstorming/scripts/package.json
git rm skills/brainstorming/scripts/package-lock.json
git rm -r skills/brainstorming/scripts/node_modules/
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run both test suites**
Run: `cd tests/brainstorm-server && node ws-protocol.test.js && node server.test.js`
Expected: All tests pass
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/brainstorming/scripts/ .gitignore
git commit -m "Remove vendored node_modules, swap to zero-dep server.js"
```
### Task 4: Manual smoke test
- [ ] **Step 1: Start the server manually**
```bash
cd skills/brainstorming/scripts
BRAINSTORM_DIR=/tmp/brainstorm-smoke BRAINSTORM_PORT=9876 node server.js
```
Expected: `server-started` JSON printed with port 9876
- [ ] **Step 2: Open browser to http://localhost:9876**
Expected: Waiting page with "Waiting for Claude to push a screen..."
- [ ] **Step 3: Write an HTML file to the screen directory**
```bash
echo '<h2>Hello from smoke test</h2>' > /tmp/brainstorm-smoke/test.html
```
Expected: Browser reloads and shows "Hello from smoke test" wrapped in frame template
- [ ] **Step 4: Verify WebSocket works — check browser console**
Open browser dev tools. The WebSocket connection should show as connected (no errors in console). The frame template's status indicator should show "Connected".
- [ ] **Step 5: Stop server with Ctrl-C, clean up**
```bash
rm -rf /tmp/brainstorm-smoke
```

# Codex App Compatibility 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:** Make `using-git-worktrees`, `finishing-a-development-branch`, and related skills work in the Codex App's sandboxed worktree environment without breaking existing behavior.
**Architecture:** Read-only environment detection (`git-dir` vs `git-common-dir`) at the start of two skills. If already in a linked worktree, skip creation. If on detached HEAD, emit a handoff payload instead of the 4-option menu. Sandbox fallback catches permission errors during worktree creation.
**Tech Stack:** Git, Markdown (skill files are instruction documents, not executable code)
**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-23-codex-app-compatibility-design.md`
---
## File Structure
| File | Responsibility | Action |
|---|---|---|
| `skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md` | Worktree creation + isolation | Add Step 0 detection + sandbox fallback |
| `skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md` | Branch finishing workflow | Add Step 1.5 detection + cleanup guard |
| `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md` | Plan execution with subagents | Update Integration description |
| `skills/executing-plans/SKILL.md` | Plan execution inline | Update Integration description |
| `skills/using-superpowers/references/codex-tools.md` | Codex platform reference | Add detection + finishing docs |

### Task 1: Add Step 0 to `using-git-worktrees`
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md:14-15` (insert after Overview, before Directory Selection Process)
- [ ] **Step 1: Read the current skill file**
Read `skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md` in full. Identify the exact insertion point: after the "Announce at start" line (line 14) and before "## Directory Selection Process" (line 16).
- [ ] **Step 2: Insert Step 0 section**
Insert the following between the Overview section and "## Directory Selection Process":

## Step 0: Check if Already in an Isolated Workspace
Before creating a worktree, check if one already exists:
```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
```
**If `GIT_DIR` differs from `GIT_COMMON`:** You are already inside a linked worktree (created by the Codex App, Claude Code's Agent tool, a previous skill run, or the user). Do NOT create another worktree. Instead:
1. Run project setup (auto-detect package manager as in "Run Project Setup" below)
2. Verify clean baseline (run tests as in "Verify Clean Baseline" below)
3. Report with branch state:
- On a branch: "Already in an isolated workspace at `<path>` on branch `<name>`. Tests passing. Ready to implement."
- Detached HEAD: "Already in an isolated workspace at `<path>` (detached HEAD, externally managed). Tests passing. Note: branch creation needed at finish time. Ready to implement."
After reporting, STOP. Do not continue to Directory Selection or Creation Steps.
**If `GIT_DIR` equals `GIT_COMMON`:** Proceed with the full worktree creation flow below.
**Sandbox fallback:** If you proceed to Creation Steps but `git worktree add -b` fails with a permission error (e.g., "Operation not permitted"), treat this as a late-detected restricted environment. Fall back to the behavior above — run setup and baseline tests in the current directory, report accordingly, and STOP.
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the insertion**
Read the file again. Confirm:
- Step 0 appears between Overview and Directory Selection Process
- The rest of the file (Directory Selection, Safety Verification, Creation Steps, etc.) is unchanged
- No duplicate sections or broken markdown
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md
git commit -m "feat(using-git-worktrees): add Step 0 environment detection (PRI-823)
Skip worktree creation when already in a linked worktree. Includes
sandbox fallback for permission errors on git worktree add."
```

### Task 2: Update `using-git-worktrees` Integration section
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md:211-215` (Integration > Called by)
- [ ] **Step 1: Update the three "Called by" entries**
Change lines 212-214 from:
```markdown
- **brainstorming** (Phase 4) - REQUIRED when design is approved and implementation follows
- **subagent-driven-development** - REQUIRED before executing any tasks
- **executing-plans** - REQUIRED before executing any tasks
```
To:
```markdown
- **brainstorming** - REQUIRED: Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)
- **subagent-driven-development** - REQUIRED: Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)
- **executing-plans** - REQUIRED: Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify the Integration section**
Read the Integration section. Confirm all three entries are updated, "Pairs with" is unchanged.
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md
git commit -m "docs(using-git-worktrees): update Integration descriptions (PRI-823)
Clarify that skill ensures a workspace exists, not that it always creates one."
```
---
### Task 3: Add Step 1.5 to `finishing-a-development-branch`
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md:38` (insert after Step 1, before Step 2)
- [ ] **Step 1: Read the current skill file**
Read `skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md` in full. Identify the insertion point: after "**If tests pass:** Continue to Step 2." (line 38) and before "### Step 2: Determine Base Branch" (line 40).
- [ ] **Step 2: Insert Step 1.5 section**
Insert the following between Step 1 and Step 2:
```markdown
### Step 1.5: Detect Environment
```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
```
**Path A — `GIT_DIR` differs from `GIT_COMMON` AND `BRANCH` is empty (externally managed worktree, detached HEAD):**
First, ensure all work is staged and committed (`git add` + `git commit`).
Then present this to the user (do NOT present the 4-option menu):
```
Implementation complete. All tests passing.
Current HEAD: <full-commit-sha>
This workspace is externally managed (detached HEAD).
I cannot create branches, push, or open PRs from here.
⚠ These commits are on a detached HEAD. If you do not create a branch,
they may be lost when this workspace is cleaned up.
If your host application provides these controls:
- "Create branch" — to name a branch, then commit/push/PR
- "Hand off to local" — to move changes to your local checkout
Suggested branch name: <ticket-id/short-description>
Suggested commit message: <summary-of-work>
```
Branch name: use ticket ID if available (e.g., `pri-823/codex-compat`), otherwise slugify the first 5 words of the plan title, otherwise omit. Avoid sensitive content in branch names.
Skip to Step 5 (cleanup is a no-op — see guard below).
**Path B — `GIT_DIR` differs from `GIT_COMMON` AND `BRANCH` exists (externally managed worktree, named branch):**
Proceed to Step 2 and present the 4-option menu as normal.
**Path C — `GIT_DIR` equals `GIT_COMMON` (normal environment):**
Proceed to Step 2 and present the 4-option menu as normal.
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the insertion**
Read the file again. Confirm:
- Step 1.5 appears between Step 1 and Step 2
- Steps 2-5 are unchanged
- Path A handoff includes commit SHA and data loss warning
- Paths B and C proceed to Step 2 normally
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md
git commit -m "feat(finishing-a-development-branch): add Step 1.5 environment detection (PRI-823)
Detect externally managed worktrees with detached HEAD and emit handoff
payload instead of 4-option menu. Includes commit SHA and data loss warning."
```
---
### Task 4: Add Step 5 cleanup guard to `finishing-a-development-branch`
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md` (Step 5: Cleanup Worktree — find by section heading, line numbers will have shifted after Task 3)
- [ ] **Step 1: Read the current Step 5 section**
Find the "### Step 5: Cleanup Worktree" section in `skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md` (line numbers will have shifted after Task 3's insertion). The current Step 5 is:
```markdown
### Step 5: Cleanup Worktree
**For Options 1, 2, 4:**
Check if in worktree:
```bash
git worktree list | grep $(git branch --show-current)
```
If yes:
```bash
git worktree remove <worktree-path>
```
**For Option 3:** Keep worktree.
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add the cleanup guard before existing logic**
Replace the Step 5 section with:
```markdown
### Step 5: Cleanup Worktree
**First, check if worktree is externally managed:**
```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
```
If `GIT_DIR` differs from `GIT_COMMON`: skip worktree removal — the host environment owns this workspace.
**Otherwise, for Options 1 and 4:**
Check if in worktree:
```bash
git worktree list | grep $(git branch --show-current)
```
If yes:
```bash
git worktree remove <worktree-path>
```
**For Option 3:** Keep worktree.
```
Note: the original text said "For Options 1, 2, 4" but the Quick Reference table and Common Mistakes section say "Options 1 & 4 only." This edit aligns Step 5 with those sections.
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the replacement**
Read Step 5. Confirm:
- Cleanup guard (re-detection) appears first
- Existing removal logic preserved for non-externally-managed worktrees
- "Options 1 and 4" (not "1, 2, 4") matches Quick Reference and Common Mistakes
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md
git commit -m "feat(finishing-a-development-branch): add Step 5 cleanup guard (PRI-823)
Re-detect externally managed worktree at cleanup time and skip removal.
Also fixes pre-existing inconsistency: cleanup now correctly says
Options 1 and 4 only, matching Quick Reference and Common Mistakes."
```
---
### Task 5: Update Integration lines in `subagent-driven-development` and `executing-plans`
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md:268`
- Modify: `skills/executing-plans/SKILL.md:68`
- [ ] **Step 1: Update `subagent-driven-development`**
Change line 268 from:
```
- **superpowers:using-git-worktrees** - REQUIRED: Set up isolated workspace before starting
```
To:
```
- **superpowers:using-git-worktrees** - REQUIRED: Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Update `executing-plans`**
Change line 68 from:
```
- **superpowers:using-git-worktrees** - REQUIRED: Set up isolated workspace before starting
```
To:
```
- **superpowers:using-git-worktrees** - REQUIRED: Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify both files**
Read line 268 of `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md` and line 68 of `skills/executing-plans/SKILL.md`. Confirm both say "Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)".
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md skills/executing-plans/SKILL.md
git commit -m "docs(sdd, executing-plans): update worktree Integration descriptions (PRI-823)
Clarify that using-git-worktrees ensures a workspace exists rather than
always creating one."
```
---
### Task 6: Add environment detection docs to `codex-tools.md`
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/using-superpowers/references/codex-tools.md:25` (append at end)
- [ ] **Step 1: Read the current file**
Read `skills/using-superpowers/references/codex-tools.md` in full. Confirm it ends at line 25-26 after the multi_agent section.
- [ ] **Step 2: Append two new sections**
Add at the end of the file:
```markdown
## Environment Detection
Skills that create worktrees or finish branches should detect their
environment with read-only git commands before proceeding:
```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
```
- `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` → already in a linked worktree (skip creation)
- `BRANCH` empty → detached HEAD (cannot branch/push/PR from sandbox)
See `using-git-worktrees` Step 0 and `finishing-a-development-branch`
Step 1.5 for how each skill uses these signals.
## Codex App Finishing
When the sandbox blocks branch/push operations (detached HEAD in an
externally managed worktree), the agent commits all work and informs
the user to use the App's native controls:
- **"Create branch"** — names the branch, then commit/push/PR via App UI
- **"Hand off to local"** — transfers work to the user's local checkout
The agent can still run tests, stage files, and output suggested branch
names, commit messages, and PR descriptions for the user to copy.
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the additions**
Read the full file. Confirm:
- Two new sections appear after the existing content
- Bash code block renders correctly (not escaped)
- Cross-references to Step 0 and Step 1.5 are present
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/using-superpowers/references/codex-tools.md
git commit -m "docs(codex-tools): add environment detection and App finishing docs (PRI-823)
Document the git-dir vs git-common-dir detection pattern and the Codex
App's native finishing flow for skills that need to adapt."
```
---
### Task 7: Automated test — environment detection
**Files:**
- Create: `tests/codex-app-compat/test-environment-detection.sh`
- [ ] **Step 1: Create test directory**
```bash
mkdir -p tests/codex-app-compat
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Write the detection test script**
Create `tests/codex-app-compat/test-environment-detection.sh`:
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
# Test environment detection logic from PRI-823
# Tests the git-dir vs git-common-dir comparison used by
# using-git-worktrees Step 0 and finishing-a-development-branch Step 1.5
PASS=0

TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
trap "rm -rf $TEMP_DIR" EXIT
log_pass() { echo " PASS: $1"; PASS=$((PASS + 1)); }
log_fail() { echo " FAIL: $1"; FAIL=$((FAIL + 1)); }
# Helper: run detection and return "linked" or "normal"
detect_worktree() {
local git_dir git_common
git_dir=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
git_common=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
if [ "$git_dir" != "$git_common" ]; then
echo "linked"

echo "=== Test 6: Cleanup guard — main repo SHOULD remove ==="
cd "$TEMP_DIR/test-repo"
result=$(detect_worktree)
if [ "$result" = "normal" ]; then
log_pass "Cleanup guard: main repo correctly detected (would proceed with removal)"

echo ""
echo "=== Results: $PASS passed, $FAIL failed ==="
if [ "$FAIL" -gt 0 ]; then
exit 1
fi
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Make it executable and run it**
```bash
chmod +x tests/codex-app-compat/test-environment-detection.sh
./tests/codex-app-compat/test-environment-detection.sh
```
Expected output: 6 passed, 0 failed.
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add tests/codex-app-compat/test-environment-detection.sh
git commit -m "test: add environment detection tests for Codex App compat (PRI-823)
Tests git-dir vs git-common-dir comparison in normal repo, linked
worktree, detached HEAD, and cleanup guard scenarios."
```
---
### Task 8: Final verification
**Files:**
- Read: all 5 modified skill files
- [ ] **Step 1: Run the automated detection tests**
```bash
./tests/codex-app-compat/test-environment-detection.sh
```
Expected: 6 passed, 0 failed.
- [ ] **Step 2: Read each modified file and verify changes**
Read each file end-to-end:
- `skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md` — Step 0 present, rest unchanged
- `skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md` — Step 1.5 present, cleanup guard present, rest unchanged
- `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md` — line 268 updated
- `skills/executing-plans/SKILL.md` — line 68 updated
- `skills/using-superpowers/references/codex-tools.md` — two new sections at end
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify no unintended changes**
```bash
git diff --stat HEAD~7
```
Should show exactly 6 files changed (5 skill files + 1 test file). No other files modified.
- [ ] **Step 4: Run existing test suite**
If test runner exists:
```bash
# Run skill-triggering tests
./tests/skill-triggering/run-all.sh 2>/dev/null || echo "Skill triggering tests not available in this environment"
# Run SDD integration test
./tests/claude-code/test-subagent-driven-development-integration.sh 2>/dev/null || echo "SDD integration test not available in this environment"
```
Note: these tests require Claude Code with `--dangerously-skip-permissions`. If not available, document that regression tests should be run manually.

# Worktree Rototill 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:** Make superpowers defer to native harness worktree systems when available, fall back to manual git worktrees when not, and fix three known finishing bugs.
**Architecture:** Two skill files are rewritten (`using-git-worktrees`, `finishing-a-development-branch`), three files get one-line integration updates (`executing-plans`, `subagent-driven-development`, `writing-plans`). The core change is adding detection (`GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`) and a native-tool-first creation path. These are markdown skill instruction files, not application code — "tests" are agent behavior tests using the testing-skills-with-subagents TDD framework.
**Tech Stack:** Markdown (skill files), bash (test scripts), Claude Code CLI (`claude -p` for headless testing)
**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-06-worktree-rototill-design.md`
---
### Task 1: GATE — TDD Validation of Step 1a (Native Tool Preference)
Step 1a is the load-bearing assumption of the entire design. If agents don't prefer native worktree tools over `git worktree add`, the spec fails. Validate this FIRST, before touching any skill files.
**Files:**
- Create: `tests/claude-code/test-worktree-native-preference.sh`
- Read: `skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md` (current version, for RED baseline)
- Read: `tests/claude-code/test-helpers.sh` (for `run_claude`, `assert_contains`, etc.)
- Read: `skills/writing-skills/testing-skills-with-subagents.md` (TDD framework)
**This task is a gate.** If the GREEN phase fails after 2 REFACTOR iterations, STOP. Do not proceed to Task 2. Report back — the creation approach needs redesign.
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the RED baseline test script**
Create the test script that will run scenarios both WITHOUT and WITH the updated skill text. The RED phase runs against the current skill (which has no Step 1a).
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Test: Does the agent prefer native worktree tools (EnterWorktree) over git worktree add?
# Framework: RED-GREEN-REFACTOR per testing-skills-with-subagents.md
#
# RED: Current skill has no native tool preference. Agent should use git worktree add.
# GREEN: Updated skill has Step 1a. Agent should use EnterWorktree on Claude Code.

- [ ] **Step 2: Run RED phase — confirm agent uses git worktree add today**
Run: `cd tests/claude-code && bash test-worktree-native-preference.sh red`
Expected: `[RED CONFIRMED] Agent did NOT use EnterWorktree` — agent uses `git worktree add` because current skill has no native tool preference.
Document the agent's exact output and any rationalizations verbatim. This is the baseline failure the skill must fix.
- [ ] **Step 3: If RED confirmed, proceed. Write the Step 1a skill text.**
Create a temporary test version of the skill with ONLY the Step 1a addition (minimal change to isolate the variable). Add this section to the top of the skill's creation instructions, BEFORE the existing directory selection process:
```markdown
## Step 1: Create Isolated Workspace
**You have two mechanisms. Try them in this order.**
### 1a. Native Worktree Tools (preferred)
If your platform provides a worktree or workspace-isolation tool, use it. You know your own toolkit — the skill does not need to name specific tools. Native tools handle directory placement, branch creation, and cleanup automatically.
After using a native tool, skip to Step 3 (Project Setup).
### 1b. Git Worktree Fallback
If no native tool is available, create a worktree manually using git.
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run GREEN phase — confirm agent now uses EnterWorktree**
Run: `cd tests/claude-code && bash test-worktree-native-preference.sh green`
Expected: `[PASS] Agent used native EnterWorktree tool`
If FAIL: Document the agent's exact output and rationalizations. This is a REFACTOR signal — the Step 1a text needs revision. Try up to 2 REFACTOR iterations. If still failing after 2 iterations, STOP and report back.
- [ ] **Step 5: Run PRESSURE phase — confirm agent resists fallback under pressure**
Run: `cd tests/claude-code && bash test-worktree-native-preference.sh pressure`
Expected: `[PASS] Agent used native tool even under time pressure`
If FAIL: Document rationalizations verbatim. Add explicit counters to Step 1a text (e.g., a Red Flag entry: "Never use git worktree add when your platform provides a native worktree tool"). Re-run.
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit test script**
```bash
git add tests/claude-code/test-worktree-native-preference.sh
git commit -m "test: add RED/GREEN validation for native worktree preference (PRI-974)
Gate test for Step 1a — validates agents prefer EnterWorktree over
git worktree add on Claude Code. Must pass before skill rewrite."
```

### Task 2: Rewrite `using-git-worktrees` SKILL.md
Full rewrite of the creation skill. Replaces the existing file entirely.
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md` (full rewrite, 219 lines → ~210 lines)
**Depends on:** Task 1 GREEN passing.
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the complete new SKILL.md**
Replace the entire contents of `skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md` with:
```markdown
---
name: using-git-worktrees
description: Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists via native tools or git worktree fallback
---
# Using Git Worktrees
## Overview
Ensure work happens in an isolated workspace. Prefer your platform's native worktree tools. Fall back to manual git worktrees only when no native tool is available.
**Core principle:** Detect existing isolation first. Then use native tools. Then fall back to git. Never fight the harness.
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the using-git-worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace."
## Step 0: Detect Existing Isolation
**Before creating anything, check if you are already in an isolated workspace.**
```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
```
**Submodule guard:** `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` is also true inside git submodules. Before concluding "already in a worktree," verify you are not in a submodule:
```bash
# If this returns a path, you're in a submodule, not a worktree — proceed to Step 1
git rev-parse --show-superproject-working-tree 2>/dev/null
```
**If `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` (and not a submodule):** You are already in a linked worktree. Skip to Step 3 (Project Setup). Do NOT create another worktree.
Report with branch state:
- On a branch: "Already in isolated workspace at `<path>` on branch `<name>`."
- Detached HEAD: "Already in isolated workspace at `<path>` (detached HEAD, externally managed). Branch creation needed at finish time."
**If `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON` (or in a submodule):** You are in a normal repo checkout.
Has the user already indicated their worktree preference in your instructions? If not, ask for consent before creating a worktree:
> "Would you like me to set up an isolated worktree? It protects your current branch from changes."
Honor any existing declared preference without asking. If the user declines consent, work in place and skip to Step 3.
## Step 1: Create Isolated Workspace
**You have two mechanisms. Try them in this order.**
### 1a. Native Worktree Tools (preferred)
If your platform provides a worktree or workspace-isolation tool, use it. You know your own toolkit — the skill does not need to name specific tools. Native tools handle directory placement, branch creation, and cleanup automatically.
After using a native tool, skip to Step 3 (Project Setup).
### 1b. Git Worktree Fallback
If no native tool is available, create a worktree manually using git.
#### Directory Selection
Follow this priority order:
1. **Check existing directories:**
```bash
ls -d .worktrees 2>/dev/null # Preferred (hidden)
ls -d worktrees 2>/dev/null # Alternative
```
If found, use that directory. If both exist, `.worktrees` wins.
2. **Check for existing global directory:**
```bash
project=$(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)")
ls -d ~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/$project 2>/dev/null
```
If found, use it (backward compatibility with legacy global path).
3. **Check your instructions for a worktree directory preference.** If specified, use it without asking.
4. **Default to `.worktrees/`.**
#### Safety Verification (project-local directories only)
**MUST verify directory is ignored before creating worktree:**
```bash
git check-ignore -q .worktrees 2>/dev/null || git check-ignore -q worktrees 2>/dev/null
```
**If NOT ignored:** Add to .gitignore, commit the change, then proceed.
**Why critical:** Prevents accidentally committing worktree contents to repository.
Global directories (`~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/`) need no verification.
#### Create the Worktree
```bash
project=$(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)")
# Determine path based on chosen location
# For project-local: path="$LOCATION/$BRANCH_NAME"
# For global: path="~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/$project/$BRANCH_NAME"
git worktree add "$path" -b "$BRANCH_NAME"
cd "$path"
```
#### Hooks Awareness
Git worktrees do not inherit the parent repo's hooks directory. After creating the worktree, symlink hooks from the main repo if they exist:
```bash
MAIN_ROOT=$(git -C "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/.." rev-parse --show-toplevel)
if [ -d "$MAIN_ROOT/.git/hooks" ]; then
ln -sf "$MAIN_ROOT/.git/hooks" "$path/.git/hooks"
fi
```
This prevents pre-commit checks, linters, and other hooks from silently stopping when work moves to a worktree.
**Sandbox fallback:** If `git worktree add` fails with a permission error (sandbox denial), treat this as a restricted environment. Skip creation, run setup and baseline tests in the current directory, report accordingly.
## Step 3: Project Setup
Auto-detect and run appropriate setup:
```bash
# Node.js
if [ -f package.json ]; then npm install; fi
# Rust
if [ -f Cargo.toml ]; then cargo build; fi
# Python
if [ -f requirements.txt ]; then pip install -r requirements.txt; fi
if [ -f pyproject.toml ]; then poetry install; fi
# Go
if [ -f go.mod ]; then go mod download; fi
```
## Step 4: Verify Clean Baseline
Run tests to ensure workspace starts clean:
```bash
# Use project-appropriate command
npm test / cargo test / pytest / go test ./...
```
**If tests fail:** Report failures, ask whether to proceed or investigate.
**If tests pass:** Report ready.
### Report
```
Worktree ready at <full-path>
Tests passing (<N> tests, 0 failures)
Ready to implement <feature-name>
```
## Quick Reference
| Situation | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| Already in linked worktree | Skip creation (Step 0) |
| In a submodule | Treat as normal repo (Step 0 guard) |
| Native worktree tool available | Use it (Step 1a) |
| No native tool | Git worktree fallback (Step 1b) |
| `.worktrees/` exists | Use it (verify ignored) |
| `worktrees/` exists | Use it (verify ignored) |
| Both exist | Use `.worktrees/` |
| Neither exists | Check instruction file, then default `.worktrees/` |
| Global path exists | Use it (backward compat) |
| Directory not ignored | Add to .gitignore + commit |
| Permission error on create | Sandbox fallback, work in place |
| Tests fail during baseline | Report failures + ask |
| No package.json/Cargo.toml | Skip dependency install |
## Common Mistakes
### Fighting the harness
- **Problem:** Using `git worktree add` when the platform already provides isolation
- **Fix:** Step 0 detects existing isolation. Step 1a defers to native tools.
### Skipping detection
- **Problem:** Creating a nested worktree inside an existing one
- **Fix:** Always run Step 0 before creating anything
### Skipping ignore verification
- **Problem:** Worktree contents get tracked, pollute git status
- **Fix:** Always use `git check-ignore` before creating project-local worktree
### Assuming directory location
- **Problem:** Creates inconsistency, violates project conventions
- **Fix:** Follow priority: existing > instruction file > default
### Proceeding with failing tests
- **Problem:** Can't distinguish new bugs from pre-existing issues
- **Fix:** Report failures, get explicit permission to proceed
## Red Flags
**Never:**
- Create a worktree when Step 0 detects existing isolation
- Use git commands when a native worktree tool is available
- Create worktree without verifying it's ignored (project-local)
- Skip baseline test verification
- Proceed with failing tests without asking
**Always:**
- Run Step 0 detection first
- Prefer native tools over git fallback
- Follow directory priority: existing > instruction file > default
- Verify directory is ignored for project-local
- Auto-detect and run project setup
- Verify clean test baseline
- Symlink hooks after creating worktree via 1b
## Integration
**Called by:**
- **subagent-driven-development** - Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)
- **executing-plans** - Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)
- Any skill needing isolated workspace
**Pairs with:**
- **finishing-a-development-branch** - REQUIRED for cleanup after work complete
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify the file reads correctly**
Run: `wc -l skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md`
Expected: Approximately 200-220 lines. Scan for any markdown formatting issues.
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md
git commit -m "feat: rewrite using-git-worktrees with detect-and-defer (PRI-974)
Step 0: GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON detection (skip if already isolated)
Step 0 consent: opt-in prompt before creating worktree (#991)
Step 1a: native tool preference (short, first, declarative)
Step 1b: git worktree fallback with hooks symlink and legacy path compat
Submodule guard prevents false detection
Platform-neutral instruction file references (#1049)"

### Task 3: Rewrite `finishing-a-development-branch` SKILL.md
Full rewrite of the finishing skill. Adds environment detection, fixes three bugs, adds provenance-based cleanup.
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md` (full rewrite, 201 lines → ~220 lines)
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the complete new SKILL.md**
Replace the entire contents of `skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md` with:
```markdown
---
name: finishing-a-development-branch
description: Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup
---
# Finishing a Development Branch
## Overview
Guide completion of development work by presenting clear options and handling chosen workflow.
**Core principle:** Verify tests → Detect environment → Present options → Execute choice → Clean up.
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work."
## The Process
### Step 1: Verify Tests
**Before presenting options, verify tests pass:**
```bash
# Run project's test suite
npm test / cargo test / pytest / go test ./...
```
**If tests fail:**
```
Tests failing (<N> failures). Must fix before completing:
[Show failures]
Cannot proceed with merge/PR until tests pass.
```
Stop. Don't proceed to Step 2.
**If tests pass:** Continue to Step 2.
### Step 2: Detect Environment
**Determine workspace state before presenting options:**
```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
```
This determines which menu to show and how cleanup works:
| State | Menu | Cleanup |
|-------|------|---------|
| `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON` (normal repo) | Standard 4 options | No worktree to clean up |
| `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, named branch | Standard 4 options | Provenance-based (see Step 6) |
| `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, detached HEAD | Reduced 3 options (no merge) | No cleanup (externally managed) |
### Step 3: Determine Base Branch
```bash
# Try common base branches
git merge-base HEAD main 2>/dev/null || git merge-base HEAD master 2>/dev/null
```
Or ask: "This branch split from main - is that correct?"
### Step 4: Present Options
**Normal repo and named-branch worktree — present exactly these 4 options:**
```
Implementation complete. What would you like to do?
1. Merge back to <base-branch> locally
2. Push and create a Pull Request
3. Keep the branch as-is (I'll handle it later)
4. Discard this work
Which option?
```
**Detached HEAD — present exactly these 3 options:**
```
Implementation complete. You're on a detached HEAD (externally managed workspace).
1. Push as new branch and create a Pull Request
2. Keep as-is (I'll handle it later)
3. Discard this work
Which option?
```
**Don't add explanation** - keep options concise.
### Step 5: Execute Choice
#### Option 1: Merge Locally
```bash
# Get main repo root for CWD safety
MAIN_ROOT=$(git -C "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/.." rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$MAIN_ROOT"
# Merge first — verify success before removing anything
git checkout <base-branch>
git pull
git merge <feature-branch>
# Verify tests on merged result
<test command>
# Only after merge succeeds: remove worktree, then delete branch
# (See Step 6 for worktree cleanup)
git branch -d <feature-branch>
```
Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 6)
#### Option 2: Push and Create PR
```bash
# Push branch
git push -u origin <feature-branch>
# Create PR
gh pr create --title "<title>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
<2-3 bullets of what changed>
## Test Plan
- [ ] <verification steps>
EOF
)"
```
**Do NOT clean up worktree** — user needs it alive to iterate on PR feedback.
#### Option 3: Keep As-Is
Report: "Keeping branch <name>. Worktree preserved at <path>."
**Don't cleanup worktree.**
#### Option 4: Discard
**Confirm first:**
```
This will permanently delete:
- Branch <name>
- All commits: <commit-list>
- Worktree at <path>
Type 'discard' to confirm.
```
Wait for exact confirmation.
If confirmed:
```bash
MAIN_ROOT=$(git -C "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/.." rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$MAIN_ROOT"
```
Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 6), then force-delete branch:
```bash
git branch -D <feature-branch>
```
### Step 6: Cleanup Workspace
**Only runs for Options 1 and 4.** Options 2 and 3 always preserve the worktree.
```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
WORKTREE_PATH=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
```
**If `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON`:** Normal repo, no worktree to clean up. Done.
**If worktree path is under `.worktrees/` or `~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/`:** Superpowers created this worktree — we own cleanup.
```bash
MAIN_ROOT=$(git -C "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/.." rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$MAIN_ROOT"
git worktree remove "$WORKTREE_PATH"
git worktree prune # Self-healing: clean up any stale registrations
```
**Otherwise:** The host environment (harness) owns this workspace. Do NOT remove it. If your platform provides a workspace-exit tool, use it. Otherwise, leave the workspace in place.
## Quick Reference
| Option | Merge | Push | Keep Worktree | Cleanup Branch |
|--------|-------|------|---------------|----------------|
| 1. Merge locally | yes | - | - | yes |
| 2. Create PR | - | yes | yes | - |
| 3. Keep as-is | - | - | yes | - |
| 4. Discard | - | - | - | yes (force) |
## Common Mistakes
**Skipping test verification**
- **Problem:** Merge broken code, create failing PR
- **Fix:** Always verify tests before offering options
**Open-ended questions**
- **Problem:** "What should I do next?" is ambiguous
- **Fix:** Present exactly 4 structured options (or 3 for detached HEAD)
**Cleaning up worktree for Option 2**
- **Problem:** Remove worktree user needs for PR iteration
- **Fix:** Only cleanup for Options 1 and 4
**Deleting branch before removing worktree**
- **Problem:** `git branch -d` fails because worktree still references the branch
- **Fix:** Merge first, remove worktree, then delete branch
**Running git worktree remove from inside the worktree**
- **Problem:** Command fails silently when CWD is inside the worktree being removed
- **Fix:** Always `cd` to main repo root before `git worktree remove`
**Cleaning up harness-owned worktrees**
- **Problem:** Removing a worktree the harness created causes phantom state
- **Fix:** Only clean up worktrees under `.worktrees/` or `~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/`
**No confirmation for discard**
- **Problem:** Accidentally delete work
- **Fix:** Require typed "discard" confirmation
## Red Flags
**Never:**
- Proceed with failing tests
- Merge without verifying tests on result
- Delete work without confirmation
- Force-push without explicit request
- Remove a worktree before confirming merge success
- Clean up worktrees you didn't create (provenance check)
- Run `git worktree remove` from inside the worktree
**Always:**
- Verify tests before offering options
- Detect environment before presenting menu
- Present exactly 4 options (or 3 for detached HEAD)
- Get typed confirmation for Option 4
- Clean up worktree for Options 1 & 4 only
- `cd` to main repo root before worktree removal
- Run `git worktree prune` after removal
## Integration
**Called by:**
- **subagent-driven-development** (Step 7) - After all tasks complete
- **executing-plans** (Step 5) - After all batches complete
**Pairs with:**
- **using-git-worktrees** - Cleans up worktree created by that skill
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify the file reads correctly**
Run: `wc -l skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md`
Expected: Approximately 210-230 lines.
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md
git commit -m "feat: rewrite finishing-a-development-branch with detect-and-defer (PRI-974)
Step 2: environment detection (GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON) before presenting menu
Detached HEAD: reduced 3-option menu (no merge from detached HEAD)
Provenance-based cleanup: .worktrees/ = ours, anything else = hands off

### Task 4: Integration Updates
One-line changes to three files that reference `using-git-worktrees`.
**Files:**
- Modify: `skills/executing-plans/SKILL.md:68`
- Modify: `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md:268`
- Modify: `skills/writing-plans/SKILL.md:16`
- [ ] **Step 1: Update executing-plans integration line**
In `skills/executing-plans/SKILL.md`, change line 68 from:
```markdown
- **superpowers:using-git-worktrees** - REQUIRED: Set up isolated workspace before starting
```
to:
```markdown
- **superpowers:using-git-worktrees** - Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Update subagent-driven-development integration line**
In `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md`, change line 268 from:
```markdown
- **superpowers:using-git-worktrees** - REQUIRED: Set up isolated workspace before starting
```
to:
```markdown
- **superpowers:using-git-worktrees** - Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Update writing-plans context line**
In `skills/writing-plans/SKILL.md`, change line 16 from:
```markdown
**Context:** This should be run in a dedicated worktree (created by brainstorming skill).
```
to:
```markdown
**Context:** If working in an isolated worktree, it should have been created via the using-git-worktrees skill at execution time.
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit all three**
```bash
git add skills/executing-plans/SKILL.md skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md skills/writing-plans/SKILL.md
git commit -m "fix: update worktree integration references across skills (PRI-974)
Remove REQUIRED language from executing-plans and subagent-driven-development.
Consent and detection now live inside using-git-worktrees itself.
Fix stale 'created by brainstorming' claim in writing-plans."
```
---
### Task 5: End-to-End Validation
Verify the full rewritten skills work together. Run the existing test suite plus manual verification.
**Files:**
- Read: `tests/claude-code/run-skill-tests.sh`
- Read: `skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md` (verify final state)
- Read: `skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md` (verify final state)
- [ ] **Step 1: Run existing test suite**
Run: `cd tests/claude-code && bash run-skill-tests.sh`
Expected: All existing tests pass. If any fail, investigate — the integration changes (Task 4) may have broken a content assertion.
- [ ] **Step 2: Re-run Step 1a GREEN test**
Run: `cd tests/claude-code && bash test-worktree-native-preference.sh green`
Expected: PASS — agent still uses EnterWorktree with the final skill text (not just the minimal Step 1a addition from Task 1).
- [ ] **Step 3: Manual verification — read both rewritten skills end-to-end**
Read `skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md` and `skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md` in their entirety. Check:
1. No references to old behavior (hardcoded `CLAUDE.md`, interactive directory prompt, "REQUIRED" language)
2. Step numbering is consistent within each file
3. Quick Reference tables match the prose
4. Integration sections cross-reference correctly
5. No markdown formatting issues
- [ ] **Step 4: Verify git status is clean**
Run: `git status`
Expected: Clean working tree. All changes committed across Tasks 1-4.
- [ ] **Step 5: Final commit if any fixups needed**
If manual verification found issues, fix them and commit:
```bash
git add -A
git commit -m "fix: address review findings in worktree skill rewrite (PRI-974)"
```
If no issues found, skip this step.

# Document Review System Design
## Overview
Add two new review stages to the superpowers workflow:
1. **Spec Document Review** - After brainstorming, before writing-plans
2. **Plan Document Review** - After writing-plans, before implementation
Both follow the iterative loop pattern used by implementation reviews.
## Spec Document Reviewer
**Purpose:** Verify the spec is complete, consistent, and ready for implementation planning.
**Location:** `skills/brainstorming/spec-document-reviewer-prompt.md`
**What it checks for:**
| Category | What to Look For |
|----------|------------------|
| Completeness | TODOs, placeholders, "TBD", incomplete sections |
| Coverage | Missing error handling, edge cases, integration points |
| Consistency | Internal contradictions, conflicting requirements |
| Clarity | Ambiguous requirements |
| YAGNI | Unrequested features, over-engineering |
**Output format:**
```
## Spec Review
**Status:** Approved | Issues Found
**Issues (if any):**
- [Section X]: [issue] - [why it matters]
**Recommendations (advisory):**
- [suggestions that don't block approval]
```
**Review loop:** Issues found -> brainstorming agent fixes -> re-review -> repeat until approved.
**Dispatch mechanism:** Use the Task tool with `subagent_type: general-purpose`. The reviewer prompt template provides the full prompt. The brainstorming skill's controller dispatches the reviewer.
## Plan Document Reviewer
**Purpose:** Verify the plan is complete, matches the spec, and has proper task decomposition.
**Location:** `skills/writing-plans/plan-document-reviewer-prompt.md`
**What it checks for:**
| Category | What to Look For |
|----------|------------------|
| Completeness | TODOs, placeholders, incomplete tasks |
| Spec Alignment | Plan covers spec requirements, no scope creep |
| Task Decomposition | Tasks atomic, clear boundaries |
| Task Syntax | Checkbox syntax on tasks and steps |
| Chunk Size | Each chunk under 1000 lines |
**Chunk definition:** A chunk is a logical grouping of tasks within the plan document, delimited by `## Chunk N: <name>` headings. The writing-plans skill creates these boundaries based on logical phases (e.g., "Foundation", "Core Features", "Integration"). Each chunk should be self-contained enough to review independently.
**Spec alignment verification:** The reviewer receives both:
1. The plan document (or current chunk)
2. The path to the spec document for reference
The reviewer reads both and compares requirements coverage.
**Output format:** Same as spec reviewer, but scoped to the current chunk.
**Review process (chunk-by-chunk):**
1. Writing-plans creates chunk N
2. Controller dispatches plan-document-reviewer with chunk N content and spec path
3. Reviewer reads chunk and spec, returns verdict
4. If issues: writing-plans agent fixes chunk N, goto step 2
5. If approved: proceed to chunk N+1
6. Repeat until all chunks approved
**Dispatch mechanism:** Same as spec reviewer - Task tool with `subagent_type: general-purpose`.
## Updated Workflow
```
brainstorming -> spec -> SPEC REVIEW LOOP -> writing-plans -> plan -> PLAN REVIEW LOOP -> implementation
```
**Spec Review Loop:**
1. Spec complete
2. Dispatch reviewer
3. If issues: fix -> goto 2
4. If approved: proceed
**Plan Review Loop:**
1. Chunk N complete
2. Dispatch reviewer for chunk N
3. If issues: fix -> goto 2
4. If approved: next chunk or implementation
## Markdown Task Syntax
Tasks and steps use checkbox syntax:
```markdown
- [ ] ### Task 1: Name
- [ ] **Step 1:** Description
- File: path
- Command: cmd
```
## Error Handling
**Review loop termination:**
- No hard iteration limit - loops continue until reviewer approves
- If loop exceeds 5 iterations, the controller should surface this to the human for guidance
- The human can choose to: continue iterating, approve with known issues, or abort
**Disagreement handling:**
- Reviewers are advisory - they flag issues but don't block
- If the agent believes reviewer feedback is incorrect, it should explain why in its fix
- If disagreement persists after 3 iterations on the same issue, surface to human
**Malformed reviewer output:**
- Controller should validate reviewer output has required fields (Status, Issues if applicable)
- If malformed, re-dispatch reviewer with a note about expected format
- After 2 malformed responses, surface to human
## Files to Change
**New files:**
- `skills/brainstorming/spec-document-reviewer-prompt.md`
- `skills/writing-plans/plan-document-reviewer-prompt.md`
**Modified files:**
- `skills/brainstorming/SKILL.md` - add review loop after spec written
- `skills/writing-plans/SKILL.md` - add chunk-by-chunk review loop, update task syntax examples

# Visual Brainstorming Refactor: Browser Displays, Terminal Commands
**Date:** 2026-02-19
**Status:** Approved
**Scope:** `lib/brainstorm-server/`, `skills/brainstorming/visual-companion.md`, `tests/brainstorm-server/`
## Problem
During visual brainstorming, Claude runs `wait-for-feedback.sh` as a background task and blocks on `TaskOutput(block=true, timeout=600s)`. This seizes the TUI entirely — the user cannot type to Claude while visual brainstorming is running. The browser becomes the only input channel.
Claude Code's execution model is turn-based. There is no way for Claude to listen on two channels simultaneously within a single turn. The blocking `TaskOutput` pattern was the wrong primitive — it simulates event-driven behavior the platform doesn't support.
## Design
### Core Model
**Browser = interactive display.** Shows mockups, lets the user click to select options. Selections are recorded server-side.
**Terminal = conversation channel.** Always unblocked, always available. The user talks to Claude here.
### The Loop
1. Claude writes an HTML file to the session directory
2. Server detects it via chokidar, pushes WebSocket reload to the browser (unchanged)
3. Claude ends its turn — tells the user to check the browser and respond in the terminal
4. User looks at browser, optionally clicks to select an option, then types feedback in the terminal
5. On the next turn, Claude reads `$SCREEN_DIR/.events` for the browser interaction stream (clicks, selections), merges with the terminal text
6. Iterate or advance
No background tasks. No `TaskOutput` blocking. No polling scripts.
### Key Deletion: `wait-for-feedback.sh`
Deleted entirely. Its purpose was to bridge "server logs events to stdout" and "Claude needs to receive those events." The `.events` file replaces this — the server writes user interaction events directly, and Claude reads them with whatever file-reading mechanism the platform provides.
### Key Addition: `.events` File (Per-Screen Event Stream)
The server writes all user interaction events to `$SCREEN_DIR/.events`, one JSON object per line. This gives Claude the full interaction stream for the current screen — not just the final selection, but the user's exploration path (clicked A, then B, settled on C).
Example contents after a user explores options:
```jsonl
{"type":"click","choice":"a","text":"Option A - Preset-First Wizard","timestamp":1706000101}
{"type":"click","choice":"c","text":"Option C - Manual Config","timestamp":1706000108}
{"type":"click","choice":"b","text":"Option B - Hybrid Approach","timestamp":1706000115}
```
- Append-only within a screen. Each user event is appended as a new line.
- The file is cleared (deleted) when chokidar detects a new HTML file (new screen pushed), preventing stale events from carrying over.
- If the file doesn't exist when Claude reads it, no browser interaction occurred — Claude uses only the terminal text.
- The file contains only user events (`click`, etc.) — not server lifecycle events (`server-started`, `screen-added`). This keeps it small and focused.
- Claude can read the full stream to understand the user's exploration pattern, or just look at the last `choice` event for the final selection.
## Changes by File
### `index.js` (server)
**A. Write user events to `.events` file.**
In the WebSocket `message` handler, after logging the event to stdout: append the event as a JSON line to `$SCREEN_DIR/.events` via `fs.appendFileSync`. Only write user interaction events (those with `source: 'user-event'`), not server lifecycle events.
**B. Clear `.events` on new screen.**
In the chokidar `add` handler (new `.html` file detected), delete `$SCREEN_DIR/.events` if it exists. This is the definitive "new screen" signal — better than clearing on GET `/` which fires on every reload.
**C. Replace `wrapInFrame` content injection.**
The current regex anchors on `<div class="feedback-footer">`, which is being removed. Replace with a comment placeholder: remove the existing default content inside `#claude-content` (the `<h2>Visual Brainstorming</h2>` and subtitle paragraph) and replace with a single `<!-- CONTENT -->` marker. Content injection becomes `frameTemplate.replace('<!-- CONTENT -->', content)`. Simpler and won't break if template formatting changes.
### `frame-template.html` (UI frame)
**Remove:**
- The `feedback-footer` div (textarea, Send button, label, `.feedback-row`)
- Associated CSS (`.feedback-footer`, `.feedback-footer label`, `.feedback-row`, textarea and button styles within it)
**Add:**
- `<!-- CONTENT -->` placeholder inside `#claude-content`, replacing the default text
- A selection indicator bar where the footer was, with two states:
- Default: "Click an option above, then return to the terminal"
- After selection: "Option B selected — return to terminal to continue"
- CSS for the indicator bar (subtle, similar visual weight to the existing header)
**Keep unchanged:**
- Header bar with "Brainstorm Companion" title and connection status
- `.main` wrapper and `#claude-content` container
- All component CSS (`.options`, `.cards`, `.mockup`, `.split`, `.pros-cons`, placeholders, mock elements)
- Dark/light theme variables and media query
### `helper.js` (client-side script)
**Remove:**
- `sendToClaude()` function and the "Sent to Claude" page takeover
- `window.send()` function (was tied to the removed Send button)
- Form submission handler — no purpose without the feedback textarea, adds log noise
- Input change handler — same reason
- `pageshow` event listener (was added to fix textarea persistence — no textarea anymore)
**Keep:**
- WebSocket connection, reconnect logic, event queue
- Reload handler (`window.location.reload()` on server push)
- `window.toggleSelect()` for selection highlighting
- `window.selectedChoice` tracking
- `window.brainstorm.send()` and `window.brainstorm.choice()` — these are distinct from the removed `window.send()`. They call `sendEvent` which logs to the server via WebSocket. Useful for custom full-document pages.
**Narrow:**
- Click handler: capture only `[data-choice]` clicks, not all buttons/links. The broad capture was needed when the browser was a feedback channel; now it's just for selection tracking.
**Add:**
- On `data-choice` click, update the selection indicator bar text to show which option was selected.
**Remove from `window.brainstorm` API:**
- `brainstorm.sendToClaude` — no longer exists
### `visual-companion.md` (skill instructions)
**Rewrite "The Loop" section** to the non-blocking flow described above. Remove all references to:
- `wait-for-feedback.sh`
- `TaskOutput` blocking
- Timeout/retry logic (600s timeout, 30-minute cap)
- "User Feedback Format" section describing `send-to-claude` JSON
**Replace with:**
- The new loop (write HTML → end turn → user responds in terminal → read `.events` → iterate)
- `.events` file format documentation
- Guidance that the terminal message is the primary feedback; `.events` provides the full browser interaction stream for additional context
**Keep:**
- Server startup/shutdown instructions
- Content fragment vs full document guidance
- CSS class reference and available components
- Design tips (scale fidelity to the question, 2-4 options per screen, etc.)
### `wait-for-feedback.sh`
**Deleted entirely.**
### `tests/brainstorm-server/server.test.js`
Tests that need updating:
- Test asserting `feedback-footer` presence in fragment responses — update to assert the selection indicator bar or `<!-- CONTENT -->` replacement
- Test asserting `helper.js` contains `send` — update to reflect narrowed API
- Test asserting `sendToClaude` CSS variable usage — remove (function no longer exists)
## Platform Compatibility
The server code (`index.js`, `helper.js`, `frame-template.html`) is fully platform-agnostic — pure Node.js and browser JavaScript. No Claude Code-specific references. Already proven to work on Codex via background terminal interaction.
The skill instructions (`visual-companion.md`) are the platform-adaptive layer. Each platform's Claude uses its own tools to start the server, read `.events`, etc. The non-blocking model works naturally across platforms since it doesn't depend on any platform-specific blocking primitive.
## What This Enables
- **TUI always responsive** during visual brainstorming
- **Mixed input** — click in browser + type in terminal, naturally merged
- **Graceful degradation** — browser down or user doesn't open it? Terminal still works
- **Simpler architecture** — no background tasks, no polling scripts, no timeout management
- **Cross-platform** — same server code works on Claude Code, Codex, and any future platform
## What This Drops
- **Pure-browser feedback workflow** — user must return to the terminal to continue. The selection indicator bar guides them, but it's one extra step compared to the old click-Send-and-wait flow.
- **Inline text feedback from browser** — the textarea is gone. All text feedback goes through the terminal. This is intentional — the terminal is a better text input channel than a small textarea in a frame.
- **Immediate response on browser Send** — the old system had Claude respond the moment the user clicked Send. Now there's a gap while the user switches to the terminal. In practice this is seconds, and the user gets to add context in their terminal message.

# Zero-Dependency Brainstorm Server
Replace the brainstorm companion server's vendored node_modules (express, ws, chokidar — 714 tracked files) with a single zero-dependency `server.js` using only Node.js built-ins.
## Motivation
Vendoring node_modules into the git repo creates a supply chain risk: frozen dependencies don't get security patches, 714 files of third-party code are committed without audit, and modifications to vendored code look like normal commits. While the actual risk is low (localhost-only dev server), eliminating it is straightforward.
## Architecture
A single `server.js` file (~250-300 lines) using `http`, `crypto`, `fs`, and `path`. The file serves two roles:
- **When run directly** (`node server.js`): starts the HTTP/WebSocket server
- **When required** (`require('./server.js')`): exports WebSocket protocol functions for unit testing
### WebSocket Protocol
Implements RFC 6455 for text frames only:
**Handshake:** Compute `Sec-WebSocket-Accept` from client's `Sec-WebSocket-Key` using SHA-1 + the RFC 6455 magic GUID. Return 101 Switching Protocols.
**Frame decoding (client to server):** Handle three masked length encodings:
- Small: payload < 126 bytes
- Medium: 126-65535 bytes (16-bit extended)
- Large: > 65535 bytes (64-bit extended)
XOR-unmask payload using 4-byte mask key. Return `{ opcode, payload, bytesConsumed }` or `null` for incomplete buffers. Reject unmasked frames.
**Frame encoding (server to client):** Unmasked frames with the same three length encodings.
**Opcodes handled:** TEXT (0x01), CLOSE (0x08), PING (0x09), PONG (0x0A). Unrecognized opcodes get a close frame with status 1003 (Unsupported Data).
**Deliberately skipped:** Binary frames, fragmented messages, extensions (permessage-deflate), subprotocols. These are unnecessary for small JSON text messages between localhost clients. Extensions and subprotocols are negotiated in the handshake — by not advertising them, they are never active.
**Buffer accumulation:** Each connection maintains a buffer. On `data`, append and loop `decodeFrame` until it returns null or buffer is empty.
### HTTP Server
Three routes:
1. **`GET /`** — Serve newest `.html` from screen directory by mtime. Detect full documents vs fragments, wrap fragments in frame template, inject helper.js. Return `text/html`. When no `.html` files exist, serve a hardcoded waiting page ("Waiting for Claude to push a screen...") with helper.js injected.
2. **`GET /files/*`** — Serve static files from screen directory with MIME type lookup from a hardcoded extension map (html, css, js, png, jpg, gif, svg, json). Return 404 if not found.
3. **Everything else** — 404.
WebSocket upgrade handled via the `'upgrade'` event on the HTTP server, separate from the request handler.
### Configuration
Environment variables (all optional):
- `BRAINSTORM_PORT` — port to bind (default: random high port 49152-65535)
- `BRAINSTORM_HOST` — interface to bind (default: `127.0.0.1`)
- `BRAINSTORM_URL_HOST` — hostname for the URL in startup JSON (default: `localhost` when host is `127.0.0.1`, otherwise same as host)
- `BRAINSTORM_DIR` — screen directory path (default: `/tmp/brainstorm`)
### Startup Sequence
1. Create `SCREEN_DIR` if it doesn't exist (`mkdirSync` recursive)
2. Load frame template and helper.js from `__dirname`
3. Start HTTP server on configured host/port
4. Start `fs.watch` on `SCREEN_DIR`
5. On successful listen, log `server-started` JSON to stdout: `{ type, port, host, url_host, url, screen_dir }`
6. Write the same JSON to `SCREEN_DIR/.server-info` so agents can find connection details when stdout is hidden (background execution)
### Application-Level WebSocket Messages
When a TEXT frame arrives from a client:
1. Parse as JSON. If parsing fails, log to stderr and continue.
2. Log to stdout as `{ source: 'user-event', ...event }`.
3. If the event contains a `choice` property, append the JSON to `SCREEN_DIR/.events` (one line per event).
### File Watching
`fs.watch(SCREEN_DIR)` replaces chokidar. On HTML file events:
- On new file (`rename` event for a file that exists): delete `.events` file if present (`unlinkSync`), log `screen-added` to stdout as JSON
- On file change (`change` event): log `screen-updated` to stdout as JSON (do NOT clear `.events`)
- Both events: send `{ type: 'reload' }` to all connected WebSocket clients
Debounce per-filename with ~100ms timeout to prevent duplicate events (common on macOS and Linux).
### Error Handling
- Malformed JSON from WebSocket clients: log to stderr, continue
- Unhandled opcodes: close with status 1003
- Client disconnects: remove from broadcast set
- `fs.watch` errors: log to stderr, continue
- No graceful shutdown logic — shell scripts handle process lifecycle via SIGTERM
## What Changes
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| `index.js` + `package.json` + `package-lock.json` + 714 `node_modules` files | `server.js` (single file) |
| express, ws, chokidar dependencies | none |
| No static file serving | `/files/*` serves from screen directory |
## What Stays the Same
- `helper.js` — no changes
- `frame-template.html` — no changes
- `start-server.sh` — one-line update: `index.js` to `server.js`
- `stop-server.sh` — no changes
- `visual-companion.md` — no changes
- All existing server behavior and external contract
## Platform Compatibility
- `server.js` uses only cross-platform Node built-ins
- `fs.watch` is reliable for single flat directories on macOS, Linux, and Windows
- Shell scripts require bash (Git Bash on Windows, which is required for Claude Code)
## Testing
**Unit tests** (`ws-protocol.test.js`): Test WebSocket frame encoding/decoding, handshake computation, and protocol edge cases directly by requiring `server.js` exports.
**Integration tests** (`server.test.js`): Test full server behavior — HTTP serving, WebSocket communication, file watching, brainstorming workflow. Uses `ws` npm package as a test-only client dependency (not shipped to end users).

# Codex App Compatibility: Worktree and Finishing Skill Adaptation
Make superpowers skills work in the Codex App's sandboxed worktree environment without breaking existing Claude Code or Codex CLI behavior.
**Ticket:** PRI-823
## Motivation
The Codex App runs agents inside git worktrees it manages — detached HEAD, located under `$CODEX_HOME/worktrees/`, with a Seatbelt sandbox that blocks `git checkout -b`, `git push`, and network access. Three superpowers skills assume unrestricted git access: `using-git-worktrees` creates manual worktrees with named branches, `finishing-a-development-branch` merges/pushes/PRs by branch name, and `subagent-driven-development` requires both.
The Codex CLI (open source terminal tool) does NOT have this conflict — it has no built-in worktree management. Our manual worktree approach fills an isolation gap there. The problem is specifically with the Codex App.
## Empirical Findings
Tested in the Codex App on 2026-03-23:
| Operation | workspace-write sandbox | Full access sandbox |
|---|---|---|
| `git add` | Works | Works |
| `git commit` | Works | Works |
| `git checkout -b` | **Blocked** (can't write `.git/refs/heads/`) | Works |
| `git push` | **Blocked** (network + `.git/refs/remotes/`) | Works |
| `gh pr create` | **Blocked** (network) | Works |
| `git status/diff/log` | Works | Works |
Additional findings:
- `spawn_agent` subagents **share** the parent thread's filesystem (confirmed via marker file test)
- "Create branch" button appears in the App header regardless of which branch the worktree was started from
- The App's native finishing flow: Create branch → Commit modal → Commit and push / Commit and create PR
- `network_access = true` config is silently broken on macOS (issue #10390)
## Design: Read-Only Environment Detection
Three read-only git commands detect the environment without side effects:
```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
```
Two signals derived:
- **IN_LINKED_WORKTREE:** `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` — the agent is in a worktree created by something else (Codex App, Claude Code Agent tool, previous skill run, or the user)
- **ON_DETACHED_HEAD:** `BRANCH` is empty — no named branch exists
Why `git-dir != git-common-dir` instead of checking `show-toplevel`:
- In a normal repo, both resolve to the same `.git` directory
- In a linked worktree, `git-dir` is `.git/worktrees/<name>` while `git-common-dir` is `.git`
- In a submodule, both are equal — avoiding a false positive that `show-toplevel` would produce
- Resolving via `cd && pwd -P` handles the relative-path problem (`git-common-dir` returns `.git` relative in normal repos but absolute in worktrees) and symlinks (macOS `/tmp``/private/tmp`)
### Decision Matrix
| Linked Worktree? | Detached HEAD? | Environment | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| No | No | Claude Code / Codex CLI / normal git | Full skill behavior (unchanged) |
| Yes | Yes | Codex App worktree (workspace-write) | Skip worktree creation; handoff payload at finish |
| Yes | No | Codex App (Full access) or manual worktree | Skip worktree creation; full finishing flow |
| No | Yes | Unusual (manual detached HEAD) | Create worktree normally; warn at finish |
## Changes
### 1. `using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md` — Add Step 0 (~12 lines)
New section between "Overview" and "Directory Selection Process":
**Step 0: Check if Already in an Isolated Workspace**
Run the detection commands. If `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, skip worktree creation entirely. Instead:
1. Skip to "Run Project Setup" subsection under Creation Steps — `npm install` etc. is idempotent, worth running for safety
2. Then "Verify Clean Baseline" — run tests
3. Report with branch state:
- On a branch: "Already in an isolated workspace at `<path>` on branch `<name>`. Tests passing. Ready to implement."
- Detached HEAD: "Already in an isolated workspace at `<path>` (detached HEAD, externally managed). Tests passing. Note: branch creation needed at finish time. Ready to implement."
If `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON`, proceed with the full worktree creation flow (unchanged).
Safety verification (.gitignore check) is skipped when Step 0 fires — irrelevant for externally-created worktrees.
Update the Integration section's "Called by" entries. Change the description on each from context-specific text to: "Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)". For example, the `subagent-driven-development` entry changes from "REQUIRED: Set up isolated workspace before starting" to "REQUIRED: Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)".
**Sandbox fallback:** If `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON` and the skill proceeds to Creation Steps, but `git worktree add -b` fails with a permission error (e.g., Seatbelt sandbox denial), treat this as a late-detected restricted environment. Fall back to the Step 0 "already in workspace" behavior — skip creation, run setup and baseline tests in the current directory, report accordingly.
After reporting in Step 0, STOP. Do not continue to Directory Selection or Creation Steps.
**Everything else unchanged:** Directory Selection, Safety Verification, Creation Steps, Project Setup, Baseline Tests, Quick Reference, Common Mistakes, Red Flags.
### 2. `finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md` — Add Step 1.5 + cleanup guard (~20 lines)
**Step 1.5: Detect Environment** (after Step 1 "Verify Tests", before Step 2 "Determine Base Branch")
Run the detection commands. Three paths:
- **Path A** skips Steps 2 and 3 entirely (no base branch or options needed).
- **Paths B and C** proceed through Step 2 (Determine Base Branch) and Step 3 (Present Options) as normal.
**Path A — Externally managed worktree + detached HEAD** (`GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` AND `BRANCH` empty):
First, ensure all work is staged and committed (`git add` + `git commit`). The Codex App's finishing controls operate on committed work.
Then present this to the user (do NOT present the 4-option menu):
```
Implementation complete. All tests passing.
Current HEAD: <full-commit-sha>
This workspace is externally managed (detached HEAD).
I cannot create branches, push, or open PRs from here.
⚠ These commits are on a detached HEAD. If you do not create a branch,
they may be lost when this workspace is cleaned up.
If your host application provides these controls:
- "Create branch" — to name a branch, then commit/push/PR
- "Hand off to local" — to move changes to your local checkout
Suggested branch name: <ticket-id/short-description>
Suggested commit message: <summary-of-work>
```
Branch name derivation: use the ticket ID if available (e.g., `pri-823/codex-compat`), otherwise slugify the first 5 words of the plan title, otherwise omit the suggestion. Avoid including sensitive content (vulnerability descriptions, customer names) in branch names.
Skip to Step 5 (cleanup is a no-op for externally managed worktrees).
**Path B — Externally managed worktree + named branch** (`GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` AND `BRANCH` exists):
Present the 4-option menu as normal. (The Step 5 cleanup guard will re-detect the externally managed state independently.)
**Path C — Normal environment** (`GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON`):
Present the 4-option menu as today (unchanged).
**Step 5 cleanup guard:**
Re-run the `GIT_DIR` vs `GIT_COMMON` detection at cleanup time (do not rely on earlier skill output — the finishing skill may run in a different session). If `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, skip `git worktree remove` — the host environment owns this workspace.
Otherwise, check and remove as today. Note: the existing Step 5 text says "For Options 1, 2, 4" but the Quick Reference table and Common Mistakes section say "Options 1 & 4 only." The new guard is added before this existing logic and does not change which options trigger cleanup.
**Everything else unchanged:** Options 1-4 logic, Quick Reference, Common Mistakes, Red Flags.
### 3. `subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md` and `executing-plans/SKILL.md` — 1 line edit each
Both skills have an identical Integration section line. Change from:
```
- superpowers:using-git-worktrees - REQUIRED: Set up isolated workspace before starting
```
To:
```
- superpowers:using-git-worktrees - REQUIRED: Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)
```
**Everything else unchanged:** Dispatch/review loop, prompt templates, model selection, status handling, red flags.
### 4. `codex-tools.md` — Add environment detection docs (~15 lines)
Two new sections at the end:
**Environment Detection:**
```markdown
## Environment Detection
Skills that create worktrees or finish branches should detect their
environment with read-only git commands before proceeding:
\```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
\```
- `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` → already in a linked worktree (skip creation)
- `BRANCH` empty → detached HEAD (cannot branch/push/PR from sandbox)
See `using-git-worktrees` Step 0 and `finishing-a-development-branch`
Step 1.5 for how each skill uses these signals.
```
**Codex App Finishing:**
```markdown
## Codex App Finishing
When the sandbox blocks branch/push operations (detached HEAD in an
externally managed worktree), the agent commits all work and informs
the user to use the App's native controls:
- **"Create branch"** — names the branch, then commit/push/PR via App UI
- **"Hand off to local"** — transfers work to the user's local checkout
The agent can still run tests, stage files, and output suggested branch
names, commit messages, and PR descriptions for the user to copy.
```
## What Does NOT Change
- `implementer-prompt.md`, `spec-reviewer-prompt.md`, `code-quality-reviewer-prompt.md` — subagent prompts untouched
- `executing-plans/SKILL.md` — only the 1-line Integration description changes (same as `subagent-driven-development`); all runtime behavior is unchanged
- `dispatching-parallel-agents/SKILL.md` — no worktree or finishing operations
- `.codex/INSTALL.md` — installation process unchanged
- The 4-option finishing menu — preserved exactly for Claude Code and Codex CLI
- The full worktree creation flow — preserved exactly for non-worktree environments
- Subagent dispatch/review/iterate loop — unchanged (filesystem sharing confirmed)
## Scope Summary
| File | Change |
|---|---|
| `skills/using-git-worktrees/SKILL.md` | +12 lines (Step 0) |
| `skills/finishing-a-development-branch/SKILL.md` | +20 lines (Step 1.5 + cleanup guard) |
| `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md` | 1 line edit |
| `skills/executing-plans/SKILL.md` | 1 line edit |
| `skills/using-superpowers/references/codex-tools.md` | +15 lines |
~50 lines added/changed across 5 files. Zero new files. Zero breaking changes.
## Future Considerations
If a third skill needs the same detection pattern, extract it into a shared `references/environment-detection.md` file (Approach B). Not needed now — only 2 skills use it.
## Test Plan
### Automated (run in Claude Code after implementation)
1. Normal repo detection — assert IN_LINKED_WORKTREE=false
2. Linked worktree detection — `git worktree add` test worktree, assert IN_LINKED_WORKTREE=true
3. Detached HEAD detection — `git checkout --detach`, assert ON_DETACHED_HEAD=true
4. Finishing skill handoff output — verify handoff message (not 4-option menu) in restricted environment
5. **Step 5 cleanup guard** — create a linked worktree (`git worktree add /tmp/test-cleanup -b test-cleanup`), `cd` into it, run the Step 5 cleanup detection (`GIT_DIR` vs `GIT_COMMON`), assert it would NOT call `git worktree remove`. Then `cd` back to main repo, run the same detection, assert it WOULD call `git worktree remove`. Clean up test worktree afterward.
### Manual Codex App Tests (5 tests)
1. Detection in Worktree thread (workspace-write) — verify GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON, empty branch
2. Detection in Worktree thread (Full access) — same detection, different sandbox behavior
3. Finishing skill handoff format — verify agent emits handoff payload, not 4-option menu
4. Full lifecycle — detection → commit → finishing detection → correct behavior → cleanup
5. **Sandbox fallback in Local thread** — Start a Codex App **Local thread** (workspace-write sandbox). Prompt: "Use the superpowers skill `using-git-worktrees` to set up an isolated workspace for implementing a small change." Pre-check: `git checkout -b test-sandbox-check` should fail with `Operation not permitted`. Expected: the skill detects `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON` (normal repo), attempts `git worktree add -b`, hits Seatbelt denial, falls back to Step 0 "already in workspace" behavior — runs setup, baseline tests, reports ready from current directory. Pass: agent recovers gracefully without cryptic error messages. Fail: agent prints raw Seatbelt error, retries, or gives up with confusing output.
### Regression
- Existing Claude Code skill-triggering tests still pass
- Existing subagent-driven-development integration tests still pass
- Normal Claude Code session: full worktree creation + 4-option finishing still works

# Worktree Rototill: Detect-and-Defer
**Date:** 2026-04-06
**Status:** Draft
**Ticket:** PRI-974
**Subsumes:** PRI-823 (Codex App compatibility)
## Problem
Superpowers is opinionated about worktree management — specific paths (`.worktrees/<branch>`), specific commands (`git worktree add`), specific cleanup (`git worktree remove`). Meanwhile, Claude Code, Codex App, Gemini CLI, and Cursor all provide native worktree support with their own paths, lifecycle management, and cleanup.
This creates three failure modes:
1. **Duplication** — on Claude Code, the skill does what `EnterWorktree`/`ExitWorktree` already does
2. **Conflict** — on Codex App, the skill tries to create worktrees inside an already-managed worktree
3. **Phantom state** — skill-created worktrees at `.worktrees/` are invisible to the harness; harness-created worktrees at `.claude/worktrees/` are invisible to the skill
For harnesses without native support (Codex CLI, OpenCode, Copilot standalone), superpowers fills a real gap. The skill shouldn't go away — it should get out of the way when native support exists.
## Goals
1. Defer to native harness worktree systems when they exist
2. Continue providing worktree support for harnesses that lack it
3. Fix three known bugs in finishing-a-development-branch (#940, #999, #238)
4. Make worktree creation opt-in rather than mandatory (#991)
5. Replace hardcoded `CLAUDE.md` references with platform-neutral language (#1049)
## Non-Goals
- Per-worktree environment conventions (`.worktree-env.sh`, port offsetting) — Phase 4
- PreToolUse hooks for path enforcement — Phase 4
- Multi-repo worktree documentation — Phase 4
- Brainstorming checklist changes for worktrees — Phase 4
- `.superpowers-session.json` metadata tracking (interesting PR #997 idea, not needed for v1)
- Hooks symlinking into worktrees (PR #965 idea, separate concern)
## Design Principles
### Detect state, not platform
Use `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` to determine "am I already in a worktree?" rather than sniffing environment variables to identify the harness. This is a stable git primitive (since git 2.5, 2015), works universally across all harnesses, and requires zero maintenance as new harnesses appear.
### Declarative intent, prescriptive fallback
The skill describes the goal ("ensure work happens in an isolated workspace") and defers to native tools when available. It prescribes specific git commands only as a fallback for harnesses without native worktree support. Step 1a comes first and names native tools explicitly (`EnterWorktree`, `WorktreeCreate`, `/worktree`, `--worktree`); Step 1b comes second with the git fallback. The original spec kept Step 1a abstract ("you know your own toolkit"), but TDD proved that agents anchor on Step 1b's concrete commands when Step 1a is too vague. Explicit tool naming and a consent-authorization bridge were required to make the preference reliable.
### Provenance-based ownership
Whoever creates the worktree owns its cleanup. If the harness created it, superpowers doesn't touch it. If superpowers created it (via git fallback), superpowers cleans it up. The heuristic: if the worktree lives under `.worktrees/` or `~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/`, superpowers owns it. Anything else (`.claude/worktrees/`, `~/.codex/worktrees/`, `.gemini/worktrees/`) belongs to the harness.
## Design
### 1. `using-git-worktrees` SKILL.md Rewrite
The skill gains three new steps before creation and simplifies the creation flow.
#### Step 0: Detect Existing Isolation
```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
```
Three outcomes:
| Condition | Meaning | Action |
|-----------|---------|--------|
| `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON` | Normal repo checkout | Proceed to Step 0.5 |
| `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, named branch | Already in a linked worktree | Skip to Step 3 (project setup). Report: "Already in isolated workspace at `<path>` on branch `<name>`." |
| `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, detached HEAD | Externally managed worktree (e.g., Codex App sandbox) | Skip to Step 3. Report: "Already in isolated workspace at `<path>` (detached HEAD, externally managed)." |
Step 0 does not care who created the worktree or which harness is running. A worktree is a worktree regardless of origin.
**Submodule guard:** `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON` is also true inside git submodules. Before concluding "already in a worktree," check that we're not in a submodule:
```bash
# If this returns a path, we're in a submodule, not a worktree
git rev-parse --show-superproject-working-tree 2>/dev/null
```
If in a submodule, treat as `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON` (proceed to Step 0.5).
#### Step 0.5: Consent
When Step 0 finds no existing isolation (`GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON`), ask before creating:
> "Would you like me to set up an isolated worktree? This protects your current branch from changes. (y/n)"
If yes, proceed to Step 1. If no, work in place — skip to Step 3 with no worktree.
This step is skipped entirely when Step 0 detects existing isolation (no point asking about what already exists).
#### Step 1a: Native Tools (preferred)
> The user has asked for an isolated workspace (Step 0 consent). Check your available tools — do you have `EnterWorktree`, `WorktreeCreate`, a `/worktree` command, or a `--worktree` flag? If YES: the user's consent to create a worktree is your authorization to use it. Use it now and skip to Step 3.
After using a native tool, skip to Step 3 (project setup).
**Design note — TDD revision:** The original spec used a deliberately short, abstract Step 1a ("You know your own toolkit — the skill does not need to name specific tools"). TDD validation disproved this: agents anchored on Step 1b's concrete git commands and ignored the abstract guidance (2/6 pass rate). Three changes fixed it (50/50 pass rate across GREEN and PRESSURE tests):
1. **Explicit tool naming** — listing `EnterWorktree`, `WorktreeCreate`, `/worktree`, `--worktree` by name transforms the decision from interpretation ("do I have a native tool?") into factual lookup ("is `EnterWorktree` in my tool list?"). Agents on platforms without these tools simply check, find nothing, and fall through to Step 1b. No false positives observed.
2. **Consent bridge** — "the user's consent to create a worktree is your authorization to use it" directly addresses `EnterWorktree`'s tool-level guardrail ("ONLY when user explicitly asks"). Tool descriptions override skill instructions (Claude Code #29950), so the skill must frame user consent as the authorization the tool requires.
3. **Red Flag entry** — naming the specific anti-pattern ("Use `git worktree add` when you have a native worktree tool — this is the #1 mistake") in the Red Flags section.
File splitting (Step 1b in a separate skill) was tested and proven unnecessary. The anchoring problem is solved by the quality of Step 1a's text, not by physical separation of git commands. Control tests with the full 240-line skill (all git commands visible) passed 20/20.
#### Step 1b: Git Worktree Fallback
When no native tool is available, create a worktree manually.
**Directory selection** (priority order):
1. Check for existing `.worktrees/` or `worktrees/` directory — if found, use it. If both exist, `.worktrees/` wins.
2. Check for existing `~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/<project>/` directory — if found, use it (backward compatibility with legacy global path).
3. Check the project's agent instruction file (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, or equivalent) for a worktree directory preference.
4. Default to `.worktrees/`.
No interactive directory selection prompt. The global path (`~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/`) is no longer offered as a choice to new users, but existing worktrees at that location are detected and used for backward compatibility.
**Safety verification** (project-local directories only):
```bash
git check-ignore -q .worktrees 2>/dev/null
```
If not ignored, add to `.gitignore` and commit before proceeding.
**Create:**
```bash
git worktree add "$path" -b "$BRANCH_NAME"
cd "$path"
```
**Hooks awareness:** Git worktrees do not inherit the parent repo's hooks directory. After creating a worktree via 1b, symlink the hooks directory from the main repo if one exists:
```bash
if [ -d "$MAIN_ROOT/.git/hooks" ]; then
ln -sf "$MAIN_ROOT/.git/hooks" "$path/.git/hooks"
fi
```
This prevents pre-commit checks, linters, and other hooks from silently stopping when work moves to a worktree. (Idea from PR #965.)
**Sandbox fallback:** If `git worktree add` fails with a permission error, treat as a restricted environment. Skip creation, work in current directory, proceed to Step 3.
**Step numbering note:** The current skill has Steps 1-4 as a flat list. This redesign uses 0, 0.5, 1a, 1b, 3, 4. There is no Step 2 — it was the old monolithic "Create Isolated Workspace" which is now split into the 1a/1b structure. The implementation should renumber cleanly (e.g., 0 → "Step 0: Detect", 0.5 → within Step 0's flow, 1a/1b → "Step 1", 3 → "Step 2", 4 → "Step 3") or keep the current numbering with a note. Implementer's choice.
#### Steps 3-4: Project Setup and Baseline Tests (unchanged)
Regardless of which path created the workspace (Step 0 detected existing, Step 1a native tool, Step 1b git fallback, or no worktree at all), execution converges:
- **Step 3:** Auto-detect and run project setup (`npm install`, `cargo build`, `pip install`, `go mod download`, etc.)
- **Step 4:** Run the test suite. If tests fail, report failures and ask whether to proceed.
### 2. `finishing-a-development-branch` SKILL.md Rewrite
The finishing skill gains environment detection and fixes three bugs.
#### Step 1: Verify Tests (unchanged)
Run the project's test suite. If tests fail, stop. Don't offer completion options.
#### Step 1.5: Detect Environment (new)
Re-run the same detection as Step 0 in creation:
```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
```
Three paths:
| State | Menu | Cleanup |
|-------|------|---------|
| `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON` (normal repo) | Standard 4 options | No worktree to clean up |
| `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, named branch | Standard 4 options | Provenance-based (see Step 5) |
| `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, detached HEAD | Reduced menu: push as new branch + PR, keep as-is, discard | No merge options (can't merge from detached HEAD) |
#### Step 2: Determine Base Branch (unchanged)
#### Step 3: Present Options
**Normal repo and named-branch worktree:**
1. Merge back to `<base-branch>` locally
2. Push and create a Pull Request
3. Keep the branch as-is (I'll handle it later)
4. Discard this work
**Detached HEAD:**
1. Push as new branch and create a Pull Request
2. Keep as-is (I'll handle it later)
3. Discard this work
#### Step 4: Execute Choice
**Option 1 (Merge locally):**
```bash
# Get main repo root for CWD safety (Bug #238 fix)
MAIN_ROOT=$(git -C "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/.." rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$MAIN_ROOT"
# Merge first, verify success before removing anything
git checkout <base-branch>
git pull
git merge <feature-branch>
<run tests>
# Only after merge succeeds: remove worktree, then delete branch (Bug #999 fix)
git worktree remove "$WORKTREE_PATH" # only if superpowers owns it
git branch -d <feature-branch>
```
The order is critical: merge → verify → remove worktree → delete branch. The old skill deleted the branch before removing the worktree (which fails because the worktree still references the branch). The naive fix of removing the worktree first is also wrong — if the merge then fails, the working directory is gone and changes are lost.
**Option 2 (Create PR):**
Push branch, create PR. Do NOT clean up worktree — user needs it for PR iteration. (Bug #940 fix: remove contradictory "Then: Cleanup worktree" prose.)
**Option 3 (Keep as-is):** No action.
**Option 4 (Discard):** Require typed "discard" confirmation. Then remove worktree (if superpowers owns it), force-delete branch.
#### Step 5: Cleanup (updated)
```
if GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON:
# Normal repo, no worktree to clean up
done
if worktree path is under .worktrees/ or ~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/:
# Superpowers created it — we own cleanup
cd to main repo root # Bug #238 fix
git worktree remove <path>
else:
# Harness created it — hands off
# If platform provides a workspace-exit tool, use it
# Otherwise, leave the worktree in place
```
Cleanup only runs for Options 1 and 4. Options 2 and 3 always preserve the worktree. (Bug #940 fix.)
**Stale worktree pruning:** After any `git worktree remove`, run `git worktree prune` as a self-healing step. Worktree directories can get deleted out-of-band (e.g., by harness cleanup, manual `rm`, or `.claude/` cleanup), leaving stale registrations that cause confusing errors. One line, prevents silent rot. (Idea from PR #1072.)
### 3. Integration Updates
#### `subagent-driven-development` and `executing-plans`
Both currently list `using-git-worktrees` as REQUIRED in their integration sections. Change to:
> `using-git-worktrees` — Ensures isolated workspace (creates one or verifies existing)
The skill itself now handles consent (Step 0.5) and detection (Step 0), so calling skills don't need to gate or prompt.
#### `writing-plans`
Remove the stale claim "should be run in a dedicated worktree (created by brainstorming skill)." Brainstorming is a design skill and does not create worktrees. The worktree prompt happens at execution time via `using-git-worktrees`.
### 4. Platform-Neutral Instruction File References
All instances of hardcoded `CLAUDE.md` in worktree-related skills are replaced with:
> "your project's agent instruction file (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, or equivalent)"
This applies to directory preference checks in Step 1b.
## Bug Fixes (bundled)
| Bug | Problem | Fix | Location |
|-----|---------|-----|----------|
| #940 | Option 2 prose says "Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 5)" but quick reference says keep it. Step 5 says "For Options 1, 2, 4" but Common Mistakes says "Options 1 and 4 only." | Remove cleanup from Option 2. Step 5 applies to Options 1 and 4 only. | finishing SKILL.md |
| #999 | Option 1 deletes branch before removing worktree. `git branch -d` can fail because worktree still references the branch. | Reorder to: merge → verify tests → remove worktree → delete branch. Merge must succeed before anything is removed. | finishing SKILL.md |
| #238 | `git worktree remove` fails silently if CWD is inside the worktree being removed. | Add CWD guard: `cd` to main repo root before `git worktree remove`. | finishing SKILL.md |
## Issues Resolved
| Issue | Resolution |
|-------|-----------|
| #940 | Direct fix (Bug #940) |
| #991 | Opt-in consent in Step 0.5 |
| #918 | Step 0 detection + Step 1.5 finishing detection |
| #1009 | Resolved by Step 1a — agents use native tools (e.g., `EnterWorktree`) which create at harness-native paths. Depends on Step 1a working; see Risks. |
| #999 | Direct fix (Bug #999) |
| #238 | Direct fix (Bug #238) |
| #1049 | Platform-neutral instruction file references |
| #279 | Solved by detect-and-defer — native paths respected because we don't override them |
| #574 | **Deferred.** Nothing in this spec touches the brainstorming skill where the bug lives. Full fix (adding a worktree step to brainstorming's checklist) is Phase 4. |
## Risks
### Step 1a is the load-bearing assumption — RESOLVED
Step 1a — agents preferring native worktree tools over the git fallback — is the foundation the entire design rests on. If agents ignore Step 1a and fall through to Step 1b on harnesses with native support, detect-and-defer fails entirely.
**Status:** This risk materialized during implementation. The original abstract Step 1a ("You know your own toolkit") failed at 2/6 on Claude Code. The TDD gate worked as designed — it caught the failure before any skill files were modified, preventing a broken release. Three REFACTOR iterations identified the root causes (agent anchoring on concrete commands, tool-description guardrail overriding skill instructions) and produced a fix validated at 50/50 across GREEN and PRESSURE tests. See Step 1a design note above for details.
**Cross-platform validation:**
As of 2026-04-06, Claude Code is the only harness with an agent-callable mid-session worktree tool (`EnterWorktree`). All others either create worktrees before the agent starts (Codex App, Gemini CLI, Cursor) or have no native worktree support (Codex CLI, OpenCode). Step 1a is forward-compatible: when other harnesses add agent-callable worktree tools, agents will match them against the named examples and use them without skill changes.
| Harness | Current worktree model | Skill mechanism | Tested |
|---------|----------------------|-----------------|--------|
| Claude Code | Agent-callable `EnterWorktree` | Step 1a | 50/50 (GREEN + PRESSURE) |
| Codex CLI | No native tool (shell only) | Step 1b git fallback | 6/6 (`codex exec`) |
| Gemini CLI | Launch-time `--worktree` flag, no agent tool | Step 0 if launched with flag, Step 1b if not | Step 0: 1/1, Step 1b: 1/1 (`gemini -p`) |
| Cursor Agent | User-facing `/worktree`, no agent tool | Step 0 if user activated, Step 1b if not | Step 0: 1/1, Step 1b: 1/1 (`cursor-agent -p`) |
| Codex App | Platform-managed, detached HEAD, no agent tool | Step 0 detects existing | 1/1 simulated |
| OpenCode | Detection only (`ctx.worktree`), no agent tool | Step 1b git fallback | Untested (no CLI access) |
**Residual risks:**
1. If Anthropic changes `EnterWorktree`'s tool description to be more restrictive (e.g., "Do not use based on skill instructions"), the consent bridge breaks. Worth filing an issue requesting that the tool description accommodate skill-driven invocation.
2. When other harnesses add agent-callable worktree tools, they may use names not in Step 1a's list. The list should be updated as new tools appear. The generic phrasing ("a worktree or workspace-isolation tool") provides some forward coverage.
### Provenance heuristic
The `.worktrees/` or `~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/` = ours, anything else = hands off` heuristic works for every current harness. If a future harness adopts `.worktrees/` as its convention, we'd have a false positive (superpowers tries to clean up a harness-owned worktree). Similarly, if a user manually runs `git worktree add .worktrees/experiment` without superpowers, we'd incorrectly claim ownership. Both are low risk — every harness uses branded paths, and manual `.worktrees/` creation is unlikely — but worth noting.
### Detached HEAD finishing
The reduced menu for detached HEAD worktrees (no merge option) is correct for Codex App's sandbox model. If a user is in detached HEAD for another reason, the reduced menu still makes sense — you genuinely can't merge from detached HEAD without creating a branch first.
## Implementation Notes
Both skill files contain sections beyond the core steps that need updating during implementation:
- **Frontmatter** (`name`, `description`): Update to reflect detect-and-defer behavior
- **Quick Reference tables**: Rewrite to match new step structure and bug fixes
- **Common Mistakes sections**: Update or remove items that reference old behavior (e.g., "Skip CLAUDE.md check" is now wrong)
- **Red Flags sections**: Update to reflect new priorities (e.g., "Never create a worktree when Step 0 detects existing isolation")
- **Integration sections**: Update cross-references between skills
The spec describes *what changes*; the implementation plan will specify exact edits to these secondary sections.
## Future Work (not in this spec)
- **Phase 3 remainder:** `$TMPDIR` directory option (#666), setup docs for caching and env inheritance (#299)
- **Phase 4:** PreToolUse hooks for path enforcement (#1040), per-worktree env conventions (#597), brainstorming checklist worktree step (#574), multi-repo documentation (#710)

# Testing Superpowers Skills
This document describes how to test Superpowers skills, particularly the integration tests for complex skills like `subagent-driven-development`.
## Overview
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.
## Test Structure
```
tests/
├── claude-code/
│ ├── test-helpers.sh # Shared test utilities
│ ├── test-subagent-driven-development-integration.sh
│ ├── analyze-token-usage.py # Token analysis tool
│ └── run-skill-tests.sh # Test runner (if exists)
```
## Running Tests
### Integration Tests
Integration tests execute real Claude Code sessions with actual skills:
```bash
# Run the subagent-driven-development integration test
cd tests/claude-code
./test-subagent-driven-development-integration.sh
```
**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.

# Cross-Platform Polyglot Hooks for Claude Code
Claude Code plugins need hooks that work on Windows, macOS, and Linux. This document explains the polyglot wrapper technique that makes this possible.
## The Problem
Claude Code runs hook commands through the system's default shell:
- **Windows**: CMD.exe
- **macOS/Linux**: bash or sh
This creates several challenges:
1. **Script execution**: Windows CMD can't execute `.sh` files directly - it tries to open them in a text editor
2. **Path format**: Windows uses backslashes (`C:\path`), Unix uses forward slashes (`/path`)
3. **Environment variables**: `$VAR` syntax doesn't work in CMD
4. **No `bash` in PATH**: Even with Git Bash installed, `bash` isn't in the PATH when CMD runs
## The Solution: Polyglot `.cmd` Wrapper
A polyglot script is valid syntax in multiple languages simultaneously. Our wrapper is valid in both CMD and bash:
```cmd
: << 'CMDBLOCK'
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" -l -c "\"$(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
## File Structure
```
hooks/
├── hooks.json # Points to the .cmd wrapper
├── session-start.cmd # Polyglot wrapper (cross-platform entry point)
└── session-start.sh # Actual hook logic (bash script)
```
### hooks.json
```json
{
"hooks": {
"SessionStart": [
{
"matcher": "startup|resume|clear|compact",
"hooks": [
{
"type": "command",
"command": "\"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/session-start.cmd\""
}
]
}
]
}
}
```
Note: The path must be quoted because `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` may contain spaces on Windows (e.g., `C:\Program Files\...`).
## Requirements
### 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
### Unix (macOS/Linux)
- Standard bash or sh shell
- The `.cmd` file must have execute permission (`chmod +x`)
## Writing Cross-Platform Hook Scripts
Your actual hook logic goes in the `.sh` file. To ensure it works on Windows (via Git Bash):
### 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`)
### Example: JSON Escaping Without sed/awk
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="$1"
local output=""
local i char
for (( i=0; i<${#input}; i++ )); do
char="${input:$i:1}"
case "$char" in
$'\\') output+='\\' ;;
'"') output+='\"' ;;
$'\n') output+='\n' ;;
$'\r') output+='\r' ;;
$'\t') output+='\t' ;;
*) output+="$char" ;;
esac
done
printf '%s' "$output"
}
```
## Reusable Wrapper Pattern
For plugins with multiple hooks, you can create a generic wrapper that takes the script name as an argument:
### run-hook.cmd
```cmd
: << 'CMDBLOCK'
@echo off
set "SCRIPT_DIR=%~dp0"
set "SCRIPT_NAME=%~1"
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" -l -c "cd \"$(cygpath -u \"%SCRIPT_DIR%\")\" && \"./%SCRIPT_NAME%\""
exit /b
CMDBLOCK
# Unix shell runs from here
SCRIPT_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)"

### 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"

{
"type": "command",
"command": "\"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/run-hook.cmd\" validate-bash.sh"
}
]
}
]
}
}
```
## Troubleshooting
### "bash is not recognized"
CMD can't find bash. The wrapper uses the full path `C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe`. If Git is installed elsewhere, update the path.
### "cygpath: command not found" or "dirname: command not found"
Bash isn't running as a login shell. Ensure `-l` flag is used.
### Path has weird `\/` in it
`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` expanded to a Windows path ending with backslash, then `/hooks/...` was appended. Use `cygpath` to convert the entire path.
### Script opens in text editor instead of running
The hooks.json is pointing directly to the `.sh` file. Point to the `.cmd` wrapper instead.
### 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"
```

## Format
```markdown
## [Short Descriptive Name]
**What I need:** One-line description
**When I'd use it:** Specific situations/symptoms
**Why I need this:** What makes this non-obvious or worth capturing
**Added:** YYYY-MM-DD
```
---
## Current Requests
(None yet - add requests below as you discover needs)
---
## Completed Requests
Skills that have been created from this list will move here with links.
---
## Guidelines
- **Be specific** - "Flaky test debugging" not "testing help"
- **Include symptoms** - Error messages, behavior patterns
- **Explain non-obvious** - Why can't you just figure this out?
- **One skill per request** - Keep them focused
your human partner reviews this periodically and we create skills together.

# Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs
Help turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through natural collaborative dialogue.
Start by understanding the current project context, then ask questions one at a time to refine the idea. Once you understand what you're building, present the design and get user approval.
<HARD-GATE>
Do NOT invoke any implementation skill, write any code, scaffold any project, or take any implementation action until you have presented a design and the user has approved it. This applies to EVERY project regardless of perceived simplicity.
</HARD-GATE>
## Anti-Pattern: "This Is Too Simple To Need A Design"
Every project goes through this process. A todo list, a single-function utility, a config change — all of them. "Simple" projects are where unexamined assumptions cause the most wasted work. The design can be short (a few sentences for truly simple projects), but you MUST present it and get approval.
## Checklist
You MUST create a task for each of these items and complete them in order:
1. **Explore project context** — check files, docs, recent commits
2. **Offer visual companion** (if topic will involve visual questions) — this is its own message, not combined with a clarifying question. See the Visual Companion section below.
3. **Ask clarifying questions** — one at a time, understand purpose/constraints/success criteria
4. **Propose 2-3 approaches** — with trade-offs and your recommendation
5. **Present design** — in sections scaled to their complexity, get user approval after each section
6. **Write design doc** — save to `docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md` and commit
7. **Spec self-review** — quick inline check for placeholders, contradictions, ambiguity, scope (see below)
8. **User reviews written spec** — ask user to review the spec file before proceeding
9. **Transition to implementation** — invoke writing-plans skill to create implementation plan
## Process Flow

"Spec self-review\n(fix inline)" -> "User reviews spec?";
"User reviews spec?" -> "Write design doc" [label="changes requested"];
"User reviews spec?" -> "Invoke writing-plans skill" [label="approved"];
}
```
**The terminal state is invoking writing-plans.** Do NOT invoke frontend-design, mcp-builder, or any other implementation skill. The ONLY skill you invoke after brainstorming is writing-plans.
## The Process
**Understanding the idea:**
- Check out the current project state first (files, docs, recent commits)
- Before asking detailed questions, assess scope: if the request describes multiple independent subsystems (e.g., "build a platform with chat, file storage, billing, and analytics"), flag this immediately. Don't spend questions refining details of a project that needs to be decomposed first.
- If the project is too large for a single spec, help the user decompose into sub-projects: what are the independent pieces, how do they relate, what order should they be built? Then brainstorm the first sub-project through the normal design flow. Each sub-project gets its own spec → plan → implementation cycle.
- For appropriately-scoped projects, ask questions one at a time to refine the idea
- Prefer multiple choice questions when possible, but open-ended is fine too
- Only one question per message - if a topic needs more exploration, break it into multiple questions
- Focus on understanding: purpose, constraints, success criteria
**Exploring approaches:**
- Propose 2-3 different approaches with trade-offs
- Present options conversationally with your recommendation and reasoning
- Lead with your recommended option and explain why
**Presenting the design:**
- Once you believe you understand what you're building, present the design
- Scale each section to its complexity: a few sentences if straightforward, up to 200-300 words if nuanced
- Ask after each section whether it looks right so far
- Cover: architecture, components, data flow, error handling, testing
- Be ready to go back and clarify if something doesn't make sense
**Design for isolation and clarity:**
- Break the system into smaller units that each have one clear purpose, communicate through well-defined interfaces, and can be understood and tested independently
- For each unit, you should be able to answer: what does it do, how do you use it, and what does it depend on?
- Can someone understand what a unit does without reading its internals? Can you change the internals without breaking consumers? If not, the boundaries need work.
- Smaller, well-bounded units are also easier for you to work with - you reason better about code you can hold in context at once, and your edits are more reliable when files are focused. When a file grows large, that's often a signal that it's doing too much.
**Working in existing codebases:**
- Explore the current structure before proposing changes. Follow existing patterns.
- Where existing code has problems that affect the work (e.g., a file that's grown too large, unclear boundaries, tangled responsibilities), include targeted improvements as part of the design - the way a good developer improves code they're working in.
- Don't propose unrelated refactoring. Stay focused on what serves the current goal.
## After the Design
**Documentation:**
- Write the validated design (spec) to `docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md`
- (User preferences for spec location override this default)
- Use elements-of-style:writing-clearly-and-concisely skill if available
- Commit the design document to git
**Spec Self-Review:**
After writing the spec document, look at it with fresh eyes:
1. **Placeholder scan:** Any "TBD", "TODO", incomplete sections, or vague requirements? Fix them.
2. **Internal consistency:** Do any sections contradict each other? Does the architecture match the feature descriptions?
3. **Scope check:** Is this focused enough for a single implementation plan, or does it need decomposition?
4. **Ambiguity check:** Could any requirement be interpreted two different ways? If so, pick one and make it explicit.
Fix any issues inline. No need to re-review — just fix and move on.
**User Review Gate:**
After the spec review loop passes, ask the user to review the written spec before proceeding:
> "Spec written and committed to `<path>`. Please review it and let me know if you want to make any changes before we start writing out the implementation plan."
Wait for the user's response. If they request changes, make them and re-run the spec review loop. Only proceed once the user approves.
**Implementation:**
- Invoke the writing-plans skill to create a detailed implementation plan
- Do NOT invoke any other skill. writing-plans is the next step.
## Key Principles
- **One question at a time** - Don't overwhelm with multiple questions
- **Multiple choice preferred** - Easier to answer than open-ended when possible
- **YAGNI ruthlessly** - Remove unnecessary features from all designs
- **Explore alternatives** - Always propose 2-3 approaches before settling
- **Incremental validation** - Present design, get approval before moving on
- **Be flexible** - Go back and clarify when something doesn't make sense
## Visual Companion
A browser-based companion for showing mockups, diagrams, and visual options during brainstorming. Available as a tool — not a mode. Accepting the companion means it's available for questions that benefit from visual treatment; it does NOT mean every question goes through the browser.
**Offering the companion:** When you anticipate that upcoming questions will involve visual content (mockups, layouts, diagrams), offer it once for consent:
> "Some of what we're working on might be easier to explain if I can show it to you in a web browser. I can put together mockups, diagrams, comparisons, and other visuals as we go. This feature is still new and can be token-intensive. Want to try it? (Requires opening a local URL)"
**This offer MUST be its own message.** Do not combine it with clarifying questions, context summaries, or any other content. The message should contain ONLY the offer above and nothing else. Wait for the user's response before continuing. If they decline, proceed with text-only brainstorming.
**Per-question decision:** Even after the user accepts, decide FOR EACH QUESTION whether to use the browser or the terminal. The test: **would the user understand this better by seeing it than reading it?**
- **Use the browser** for content that IS visual — mockups, wireframes, layout comparisons, architecture diagrams, side-by-side visual designs
- **Use the terminal** for content that is text — requirements questions, conceptual choices, tradeoff lists, A/B/C/D text options, scope decisions
A question about a UI topic is not automatically a visual question. "What does personality mean in this context?" is a conceptual question — use the terminal. "Which wizard layout works better?" is a visual question — use the browser.
If they agree to the companion, read the detailed guide before proceeding:
`skills/brainstorming/visual-companion.md`

# Spec Document Reviewer Prompt Template
Use this template when dispatching a spec document reviewer subagent.
**Purpose:** Verify the spec is complete, consistent, and ready for implementation planning.
**Dispatch after:** Spec document is written to docs/superpowers/specs/
```
Task tool (general-purpose):
description: "Review spec document"
prompt: |
You are a spec document reviewer. Verify this spec is complete and ready for planning.
**Spec to review:** [SPEC_FILE_PATH]
## What to Check
| Category | What to Look For |
|----------|------------------|
| Completeness | TODOs, placeholders, "TBD", incomplete sections |
| Consistency | Internal contradictions, conflicting requirements |
| Clarity | Requirements ambiguous enough to cause someone to build the wrong thing |
| Scope | Focused enough for a single plan — not covering multiple independent subsystems |
| YAGNI | Unrequested features, over-engineering |
## Calibration
**Only flag issues that would cause real problems during implementation planning.**
A missing section, a contradiction, or a requirement so ambiguous it could be
interpreted two different ways — those are issues. Minor wording improvements,
stylistic preferences, and "sections less detailed than others" are not.
Approve unless there are serious gaps that would lead to a flawed plan.
## Output Format
## Spec Review
**Status:** Approved | Issues Found
**Issues (if any):**
- [Section X]: [specific issue] - [why it matters for planning]
**Recommendations (advisory, do not block approval):**
- [suggestions for improvement]
```
**Reviewer returns:** Status, Issues (if any), Recommendations

# Visual Companion Guide
Browser-based visual brainstorming companion for showing mockups, diagrams, and options.
## When to Use
Decide per-question, not per-session. The test: **would the user understand this better by seeing it than reading it?**
**Use the browser** when the content itself is visual:
- **UI mockups** — wireframes, layouts, navigation structures, component designs
- **Architecture diagrams** — system components, data flow, relationship maps
- **Side-by-side visual comparisons** — comparing two layouts, two color schemes, two design directions
- **Design polish** — when the question is about look and feel, spacing, visual hierarchy
- **Spatial relationships** — state machines, flowcharts, entity relationships rendered as diagrams
**Use the terminal** when the content is text or tabular:
- **Requirements and scope questions** — "what does X mean?", "which features are in scope?"
- **Conceptual A/B/C choices** — picking between approaches described in words
- **Tradeoff lists** — pros/cons, comparison tables
- **Technical decisions** — API design, data modeling, architectural approach selection
- **Clarifying questions** — anything where the answer is words, not a visual preference
A question *about* a UI topic is not automatically a visual question. "What kind of wizard do you want?" is conceptual — use the terminal. "Which of these wizard layouts feels right?" is visual — use the browser.
## How It Works
The server watches a directory for HTML files and serves the newest one to the browser. You write HTML content to `screen_dir`, the user sees it in their browser and can click to select options. Selections are recorded to `state_dir/events` that you read on your next turn.
**Content fragments vs full documents:** If your HTML file starts with `<!DOCTYPE` or `<html`, the server serves it as-is (just injects the helper script). Otherwise, the server automatically wraps your content in the frame template — adding the header, CSS theme, selection indicator, and all interactive infrastructure. **Write content fragments by default.** Only write full documents when you need complete control over the page.
## Starting a Session
```bash
# Start server with persistence (mockups saved to project)
scripts/start-server.sh --project-dir /path/to/project
# Returns: {"type":"server-started","port":52341,"url":"http://localhost:52341",
# "screen_dir":"/path/to/project/.superpowers/brainstorm/12345-1706000000/content",
# "state_dir":"/path/to/project/.superpowers/brainstorm/12345-1706000000/state"}
```
Save `screen_dir` and `state_dir` from the response. Tell user to open the URL.
**Finding connection info:** The server writes its startup JSON to `$STATE_DIR/server-info`. If you launched the server in the background and didn't capture stdout, read that file to get the URL and port. When using `--project-dir`, check `<project>/.superpowers/brainstorm/` for the session directory.
**Note:** Pass the project root as `--project-dir` so mockups persist in `.superpowers/brainstorm/` and survive server restarts. Without it, files go to `/tmp` and get cleaned up. Remind the user to add `.superpowers/` to `.gitignore` if it's not already there.
**Launching the server by platform:**
**Claude Code (macOS / Linux):**
```bash
# Default mode works — the script backgrounds the server itself
scripts/start-server.sh --project-dir /path/to/project
```
**Claude Code (Windows):**
```bash
# Windows auto-detects and uses foreground mode, which blocks the tool call.
# Use run_in_background: true on the Bash tool call so the server survives
# across conversation turns.
scripts/start-server.sh --project-dir /path/to/project
```
When calling this via the Bash tool, set `run_in_background: true`. Then read `$STATE_DIR/server-info` on the next turn to get the URL and port.
**Codex:**
```bash
# Codex reaps background processes. The script auto-detects CODEX_CI and
# switches to foreground mode. Run it normally — no extra flags needed.
scripts/start-server.sh --project-dir /path/to/project
```
**Gemini CLI:**
```bash
# Use --foreground and set is_background: true on your shell tool call
# so the process survives across turns
scripts/start-server.sh --project-dir /path/to/project --foreground
```
**Other environments:** The server must keep running in the background across conversation turns. If your environment reaps detached processes, use `--foreground` and launch the command with your platform's background execution mechanism.
If the URL is unreachable from your browser (common in remote/containerized setups), bind a non-loopback host:
```bash
scripts/start-server.sh \
--project-dir /path/to/project \
--host 0.0.0.0 \
--url-host localhost
```
Use `--url-host` to control what hostname is printed in the returned URL JSON.
## The Loop
1. **Check server is alive**, then **write HTML** to a new file in `screen_dir`:
- Before each write, check that `$STATE_DIR/server-info` exists. If it doesn't (or `$STATE_DIR/server-stopped` exists), the server has shut down — restart it with `start-server.sh` before continuing. The server auto-exits after 30 minutes of inactivity.
- Use semantic filenames: `platform.html`, `visual-style.html`, `layout.html`
- **Never reuse filenames** — each screen gets a fresh file
- Use Write tool — **never use cat/heredoc** (dumps noise into terminal)
- Server automatically serves the newest file
2. **Tell user what to expect and end your turn:**
- Remind them of the URL (every step, not just first)
- Give a brief text summary of what's on screen (e.g., "Showing 3 layout options for the homepage")
- Ask them to respond in the terminal: "Take a look and let me know what you think. Click to select an option if you'd like."
3. **On your next turn** — after the user responds in the terminal:
- Read `$STATE_DIR/events` if it exists — this contains the user's browser interactions (clicks, selections) as JSON lines
- Merge with the user's terminal text to get the full picture
- The terminal message is the primary feedback; `state_dir/events` provides structured interaction data
4. **Iterate or advance** — if feedback changes current screen, write a new file (e.g., `layout-v2.html`). Only move to the next question when the current step is validated.
5. **Unload when returning to terminal** — when the next step doesn't need the browser (e.g., a clarifying question, a tradeoff discussion), push a waiting screen to clear the stale content:
```html
<!-- filename: waiting.html (or waiting-2.html, etc.) -->
<div style="display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;min-height:60vh">
<p class="subtitle">Continuing in terminal...</p>
</div>
```
This prevents the user from staring at a resolved choice while the conversation has moved on. When the next visual question comes up, push a new content file as usual.
6. Repeat until done.
## Writing Content Fragments
Write just the content that goes inside the page. The server wraps it in the frame template automatically (header, theme CSS, selection indicator, and all interactive infrastructure).
**Minimal example:**
```html
<h2>Which layout works better?</h2>
<p class="subtitle">Consider readability and visual hierarchy</p>
<div class="options">
<div class="option" data-choice="a" onclick="toggleSelect(this)">
<div class="letter">A</div>
<div class="content">
<h3>Single Column</h3>
<p>Clean, focused reading experience</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="option" data-choice="b" onclick="toggleSelect(this)">
<div class="letter">B</div>
<div class="content">
<h3>Two Column</h3>
<p>Sidebar navigation with main content</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
```
That's it. No `<html>`, no CSS, no `<script>` tags needed. The server provides all of that.
## CSS Classes Available
The frame template provides these CSS classes for your content:
### Options (A/B/C choices)
```html
<div class="options">
<div class="option" data-choice="a" onclick="toggleSelect(this)">
<div class="letter">A</div>
<div class="content">
<h3>Title</h3>
<p>Description</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
```
**Multi-select:** Add `data-multiselect` to the container to let users select multiple options. Each click toggles the item. The indicator bar shows the count.
```html
<div class="options" data-multiselect>
<!-- same option markup — users can select/deselect multiple -->
</div>
```
### Cards (visual designs)
```html
<div class="cards">
<div class="card" data-choice="design1" onclick="toggleSelect(this)">
<div class="card-image"><!-- mockup content --></div>
<div class="card-body">
<h3>Name</h3>
<p>Description</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
```
### Mockup container
```html
<div class="mockup">
<div class="mockup-header">Preview: Dashboard Layout</div>
<div class="mockup-body"><!-- your mockup HTML --></div>
</div>
```
### Split view (side-by-side)
```html
<div class="split">
<div class="mockup"><!-- left --></div>
<div class="mockup"><!-- right --></div>
</div>
```
### Pros/Cons
```html
<div class="pros-cons">
<div class="pros"><h4>Pros</h4><ul><li>Benefit</li></ul></div>
<div class="cons"><h4>Cons</h4><ul><li>Drawback</li></ul></div>
</div>
```
### Mock elements (wireframe building blocks)
```html
<div class="mock-nav">Logo | Home | About | Contact</div>
<div style="display: flex;">
<div class="mock-sidebar">Navigation</div>
<div class="mock-content">Main content area</div>
</div>
<button class="mock-button">Action Button</button>
<input class="mock-input" placeholder="Input field">
<div class="placeholder">Placeholder area</div>
```
### Typography and sections
- `h2` — page title
- `h3` — section heading
- `.subtitle` — secondary text below title
- `.section` — content block with bottom margin
- `.label` — small uppercase label text
## Browser Events Format
When the user clicks options in the browser, their interactions are recorded to `$STATE_DIR/events` (one JSON object per line). The file is cleared automatically when you push a new screen.
```jsonl
{"type":"click","choice":"a","text":"Option A - Simple Layout","timestamp":1706000101}
{"type":"click","choice":"c","text":"Option C - Complex Grid","timestamp":1706000108}
{"type":"click","choice":"b","text":"Option B - Hybrid","timestamp":1706000115}
```
The full event stream shows the user's exploration path — they may click multiple options before settling. The last `choice` event is typically the final selection, but the pattern of clicks can reveal hesitation or preferences worth asking about.
If `$STATE_DIR/events` doesn't exist, the user didn't interact with the browser — use only their terminal text.
## Design Tips
- **Scale fidelity to the question** — wireframes for layout, polish for polish questions
- **Explain the question on each page** — "Which layout feels more professional?" not just "Pick one"
- **Iterate before advancing** — if feedback changes current screen, write a new version
- **2-4 options max** per screen
- **Use real content when it matters** — for a photography portfolio, use actual images (Unsplash). Placeholder content obscures design issues.
- **Keep mockups simple** — focus on layout and structure, not pixel-perfect design
## File Naming
- Use semantic names: `platform.html`, `visual-style.html`, `layout.html`
- Never reuse filenames — each screen must be a new file
- For iterations: append version suffix like `layout-v2.html`, `layout-v3.html`
- Server serves newest file by modification time
## Cleaning Up
```bash
scripts/stop-server.sh $SESSION_DIR
```
If the session used `--project-dir`, mockup files persist in `.superpowers/brainstorm/` for later reference. Only `/tmp` sessions get deleted on stop.

when_to_use: When your human partner says "I've got an idea", "Let's make/build/create", "I want to implement/add", "What if we". When starting design for complex feature. Before writing implementation plans. When idea needs refinement and exploration. ACTIVATE THIS AUTOMATICALLY when your human partner describes a feature or project idea - don't wait for /brainstorm command.

# Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs
## Overview
Transform rough ideas into fully-formed designs through structured questioning and alternative exploration.
**Core principle:** Ask questions to understand, explore alternatives, present design incrementally for validation.
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the Brainstorming skill to refine your idea into a design."
## The Process
### Phase 1: Understanding
- Check current project state in working directory
- Ask ONE question at a time to refine the idea
- Prefer multiple choice when possible
- Gather: Purpose, constraints, success criteria
### Phase 2: Exploration
- Propose 2-3 different approaches (reference skills/coding/exploring-alternatives)
- For each: Core architecture, trade-offs, complexity assessment
- Ask your human partner which approach resonates
### Phase 3: Design Presentation
- Present in 200-300 word sections
- Cover: Architecture, components, data flow, error handling, testing
- Ask after each section: "Does this look right so far?"
### Phase 4: Worktree Setup (for implementation)
When design is approved and implementation will follow:
- Announce: "I'm using the Using Git Worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace."
- Switch to skills/collaboration/using-git-worktrees
- Follow that skill's process for directory selection, safety verification, and setup
- Return here when worktree ready
### Phase 5: Planning Handoff
Ask: "Ready to create the implementation plan?"
When your human partner confirms (any affirmative response):
- Announce: "I'm using the Writing Plans skill to create the implementation plan."
- Switch to skills/collaboration/writing-plans skill
- Create detailed plan in the worktree
## Remember
- One question per message during Phase 1
- Apply YAGNI ruthlessly (reference skills/architecture/reducing-complexity)
- Explore 2-3 alternatives before settling
- Present incrementally, validate as you go
- Announce skill usage at start

# Executing Plans
## Overview
Load plan, review critically, execute tasks in batches, report for review between batches.
**Core principle:** Batch execution with checkpoints for architect review.
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the Executing Plans skill to implement this plan."
## The Process
### Step 1: Load and Review Plan
1. Read plan file
2. Review critically - identify any questions or concerns about the plan
3. If concerns: Raise them with your human partner before starting
4. If no concerns: Create TodoWrite and proceed
### Step 2: Execute Batch
**Default: First 3 tasks**
For each task:
1. Mark as in_progress
2. Follow each step exactly (plan has bite-sized steps)
3. Run verifications as specified
4. Mark as completed
### Step 3: Report
When batch complete:
- Show what was implemented
- Show verification output
- Say: "Ready for feedback."
### Step 4: Continue
Based on feedback:
- Apply changes if needed
- Execute next batch
- Repeat until complete
### Step 5: Complete Development
After all tasks complete and verified:
- Announce: "I'm using the Finishing a Development Branch skill to complete this work."
- Switch to skills/collaboration/finishing-a-development-branch
- Follow that skill to verify tests, present options, execute choice
## Remember
- Review plan critically first
- Follow plan steps exactly
- Don't skip verifications
- Reference skills when plan says to
- Between batches: just report and wait

name: Finishing a Development Branch
description: Complete feature development with structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup
when_to_use: After completing implementation. When all tests passing. At end of executing-plans or subagent-driven-development. When feature work is done.
version: 1.0.0

# Finishing a Development Branch
## Overview
Guide completion of development work by presenting clear options and handling chosen workflow.
**Core principle:** Verify tests → Present options → Execute choice → Clean up.
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the Finishing a Development Branch skill to complete this work."
## The Process
### Step 1: Verify Tests
**Before presenting options, verify tests pass:**
```bash
# Run project's test suite
npm test / cargo test / pytest / go test ./...
```
**If tests fail:**
```
Tests failing (<N> failures). Must fix before completing:
[Show failures]
Cannot proceed with merge/PR until tests pass.
```
Stop. Don't proceed to Step 2.
**If tests pass:** Continue to Step 2.
### Step 2: Determine Base Branch
```bash
# Try common base branches
git merge-base HEAD main 2>/dev/null || git merge-base HEAD master 2>/dev/null
```
Or ask: "This branch split from main - is that correct?"
### Step 3: Present Options
Present exactly these 4 options:
```
Implementation complete. What would you like to do?
1. Merge back to <base-branch> locally
2. Push and create a Pull Request
3. Keep the branch as-is (I'll handle it later)
4. Discard this work
Which option?
```
**Don't add explanation** - keep options concise.
### Step 4: Execute Choice
#### Option 1: Merge Locally
```bash
# Switch to base branch
git checkout <base-branch>
# Pull latest
git pull
# Merge feature branch
git merge <feature-branch>
# Verify tests on merged result
<test command>
# If tests pass
git branch -d <feature-branch>
```
Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 5)
#### Option 2: Push and Create PR
```bash
# Push branch
git push -u origin <feature-branch>
# Create PR
gh pr create --title "<title>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
<2-3 bullets of what changed>
## Test Plan
- [ ] <verification steps>
EOF
)"
```
Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 5)
#### Option 3: Keep As-Is
Report: "Keeping branch <name>. Worktree preserved at <path>."
**Don't cleanup worktree.**
#### Option 4: Discard
**Confirm first:**
```
This will permanently delete:
- Branch <name>
- All commits: <commit-list>
- Worktree at <path>
Type 'discard' to confirm.
```
Wait for exact confirmation.
If confirmed:
```bash
git checkout <base-branch>
git branch -D <feature-branch>
```
Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 5)
### Step 5: Cleanup Worktree
**For Options 1, 2, 4:**
Check if in worktree:
```bash
git worktree list | grep $(git branch --show-current)
```
If yes:
```bash
git worktree remove <worktree-path>
```
**For Option 3:** Keep worktree.
## Quick Reference
| Option | Merge | Push | Keep Worktree | Cleanup Branch |
|--------|-------|------|---------------|----------------|
| 1. Merge locally | ✓ | - | - | ✓ |
| 2. Create PR | - | ✓ | ✓ | - |
| 3. Keep as-is | - | - | ✓ | - |
| 4. Discard | - | - | - | ✓ (force) |
## Common Mistakes
**Skipping test verification**
- **Problem:** Merge broken code, create failing PR
- **Fix:** Always verify tests before offering options
**Open-ended questions**
- **Problem:** "What should I do next?" → ambiguous
- **Fix:** Present exactly 4 structured options
**Automatic worktree cleanup**
- **Problem:** Remove worktree when might need it (Option 2, 3)
- **Fix:** Only cleanup for Options 1 and 4
**No confirmation for discard**
- **Problem:** Accidentally delete work
- **Fix:** Require typed "discard" confirmation
## Red Flags
**Never:**
- Proceed with failing tests
- Merge without verifying tests on result
- Delete work without confirmation
- Force-push without explicit request
**Always:**
- Verify tests before offering options
- Present exactly 4 options
- Get typed confirmation for Option 4
- Clean up worktree for Options 1 & 4 only
## Integration
**Called by:**
- skills/collaboration/subagent-driven-development (Step 7)
- skills/collaboration/executing-plans (Step 5)
**Pairs with:**
- skills/collaboration/using-git-worktrees (created the worktree)

# Conversation Search Deployment Guide
Quick reference for deploying and maintaining the conversation indexing system.
## Initial Deployment
```bash
cd ~/.claude/skills/collaboration/remembering-conversations/tool
# 1. Install hook
./install-hook
# 2. Index existing conversations (with parallel summarization)
./index-conversations --cleanup --concurrency 8
# 3. Verify index health
./index-conversations --verify
# 4. Test search
./search-conversations "test query"
```
**Expected results:**
- Hook installed at `~/.claude/hooks/sessionEnd`
- Summaries created for all conversations (50-120 words each)
- Search returns relevant results in <1 second
- No verification errors
**Performance tip:** Use `--concurrency 8` or `--concurrency 16` for 8-16x faster summarization on initial indexing. Hook uses concurrency=1 (safe for background).
## Ongoing Maintenance
### Automatic (No Action Required)
- Hook runs after every session ends
- New conversations indexed in background (<30 sec per conversation)
- Summaries generated automatically
### Weekly Health Check
```bash
cd ~/.claude/skills/collaboration/remembering-conversations/tool
./index-conversations --verify
```
If issues found:
```bash
./index-conversations --repair
```
### After System Changes
| Change | Action |
|--------|--------|
| Moved conversation archive | Update paths in code, run `--rebuild` |
| Updated CLAUDE.md | Run `--verify` to check for issues |
| Changed database schema | Backup DB, run `--rebuild` |
| Hook not running | Check executable: `chmod +x ~/.claude/hooks/sessionEnd` |
## Recovery Scenarios
| Issue | Diagnosis | Fix |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| **Missing summaries** | `--verify` shows "Missing summaries: N" | `--repair` regenerates missing summaries |
| **Orphaned DB entries** | `--verify` shows "Orphaned entries: N" | `--repair` removes orphaned entries |
| **Outdated indexes** | `--verify` shows "Outdated files: N" | `--repair` re-indexes modified files |
| **Corrupted database** | Errors during search/verify | `--rebuild` (re-indexes everything, requires confirmation) |
| **Hook not running** | No summaries for new conversations | See Troubleshooting below |
| **Slow indexing** | Takes >30 sec per conversation | Check API key, network, Haiku fallback in logs |
## Monitoring
### Health Checks
```bash
# Check hook installed and executable
ls -l ~/.claude/hooks/sessionEnd
# Check recent conversations
ls -lt ~/.config/superpowers/conversation-archive/*/*.jsonl | head -5
# Check database size
ls -lh ~/.config/superpowers/conversation-index/db.sqlite
# Full verification
./index-conversations --verify
```
### Expected Behavior Metrics
- **Hook execution:** Within seconds of session end
- **Indexing speed:** <30 seconds per conversation
- **Summary length:** 50-120 words
- **Search latency:** <1 second
- **Verification:** 0 errors when healthy
### Log Output
Normal indexing:
```
Initializing database...
Loading embedding model...
Processing project: my-project (3 conversations)

Run with --repair to fix these issues.
```
## Troubleshooting
### Hook Not Running
**Symptoms:** New conversations not indexed automatically
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# 1. Check hook exists and is executable
ls -l ~/.claude/hooks/sessionEnd
# Should show: -rwxr-xr-x ... sessionEnd
# 2. Check $SESSION_ID is set during sessions
echo $SESSION_ID
# Should show: session ID when in active session
# 3. Check indexer exists
ls -l ~/.claude/skills/collaboration/remembering-conversations/tool/index-conversations
# Should show: -rwxr-xr-x ... index-conversations
# 4. Test hook manually
SESSION_ID=test-$(date +%s) ~/.claude/hooks/sessionEnd
```
**Fix:**
```bash
# Make hook executable
chmod +x ~/.claude/hooks/sessionEnd
# Reinstall if needed
./install-hook
```
### Summaries Failing
**Symptoms:** Verify shows missing summaries, repair fails
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# Check API key
echo $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
# Should show: sk-ant-...
# Try manual indexing with logging
./index-conversations 2>&1 | tee index.log
grep -i error index.log
```
**Fix:**
```bash
# Set API key if missing
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key-here"
# Check for rate limits (wait and retry)
sleep 60 && ./index-conversations --repair
# Fallback uses claude-3-haiku-20240307 (cheaper)
# Check logs for: "Summary: N words" to confirm success
```
### Search Not Finding Results
**Symptoms:** `./search-conversations "query"` returns no results
**Diagnosis:**
```bash
# 1. Verify conversations indexed
./index-conversations --verify
# 2. Check database exists and has data
ls -lh ~/.config/superpowers/conversation-index/db.sqlite
# Should be > 100KB if conversations indexed
# 3. Try text search (exact match)
./search-conversations --text "exact phrase from conversation"
# 4. Check for corruption
sqlite3 ~/.config/superpowers/conversation-index/db.sqlite "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM exchanges;"
# Should show number > 0
```
**Fix:**
```bash
# If database missing or corrupt
./index-conversations --rebuild
# If specific conversations missing
./index-conversations --repair
# If still failing, check embedding model
rm -rf ~/.cache/transformers # Force re-download
./index-conversations
```
### Database Corruption
**Symptoms:** Errors like "database disk image is malformed"
**Fix:**
```bash
# 1. Backup current database
cp ~/.config/superpowers/conversation-index/db.sqlite ~/.config/superpowers/conversation-index/db.sqlite.backup
# 2. Rebuild from scratch
./index-conversations --rebuild
# Confirms with: "Are you sure? [yes/NO]:"
# Type: yes
# 3. Verify rebuild
./index-conversations --verify
```
## Commands Reference
```bash
# Index all conversations
./index-conversations
# Index specific session (called by hook)
./index-conversations --session <session-id>
# Index only unprocessed conversations
./index-conversations --cleanup
# Verify index health
./index-conversations --verify
# Repair issues found by verify
./index-conversations --repair
# Rebuild everything (with confirmation)
./index-conversations --rebuild
# Search conversations (semantic)
./search-conversations "query"
# Search conversations (text match)
./search-conversations --text "exact phrase"
# Install/reinstall hook
./install-hook
```
## Subagent Workflow
**For searching conversations from within Claude Code sessions**, use the subagent pattern (see `skills/getting-started` for complete workflow).
**Template:** `tool/prompts/search-agent.md`
**Key requirements:**
- Synthesis must be 200-1000 words (Summary section)
- All sources must include: project, date, file path, status
- No raw conversation excerpts (synthesize instead)
- Follow-up via subagent (not direct file reads)
**Manual test checklist:**
1. ✓ Dispatch subagent with search template
2. ✓ Verify synthesis 200-1000 words
3. ✓ Verify all sources have metadata (project, date, path, status)
4. ✓ Ask follow-up → dispatch second subagent to dig deeper
5. ✓ Confirm no raw conversations in main context

# Managing Conversation Index
Index, archive, and maintain conversations for search.
## Quick Start
**Install auto-indexing hook:**
```bash
~/.claude/skills/collaboration/remembering-conversations/tool/install-hook
```
**Index all conversations:**
```bash
~/.claude/skills/collaboration/remembering-conversations/tool/index-conversations
```
**Process unindexed only:**
```bash
~/.claude/skills/collaboration/remembering-conversations/tool/index-conversations --cleanup
```
## Features
- **Automatic indexing** via sessionEnd hook (install once, forget)
- **Semantic search** across all past conversations
- **AI summaries** (Claude Haiku with Sonnet fallback)
- **Recovery modes** (verify, repair, rebuild)
- **Permanent archive** at `~/.config/superpowers/conversation-archive/`
## Setup
### 1. Install Hook (One-Time)
```bash
cd ~/.claude/skills/collaboration/remembering-conversations/tool
./install-hook
```
Handles existing hooks gracefully (merge or replace). Runs in background after each session.
### 2. Index Existing Conversations
```bash
# Index everything
./index-conversations
# Or just unindexed (faster, cheaper)
./index-conversations --cleanup
```
## Index Modes
```bash
# Index all (first run or full rebuild)
./index-conversations
# Index specific session (used by hook)
./index-conversations --session <uuid>
# Process only unindexed (missing summaries)
./index-conversations --cleanup
# Check index health
./index-conversations --verify
# Fix detected issues
./index-conversations --repair
# Nuclear option (deletes DB, re-indexes everything)
./index-conversations --rebuild
```
## Recovery Scenarios
| Situation | Command |
|-----------|---------|
| Missed conversations | `--cleanup` |
| Hook didn't run | `--cleanup` |
| Updated conversation | `--verify` then `--repair` |
| Corrupted database | `--rebuild` |
| Index health check | `--verify` |
## Troubleshooting
**Hook not running:**
- Check: `ls -l ~/.claude/hooks/sessionEnd` (should be executable)
- Test: `SESSION_ID=test-$(date +%s) ~/.claude/hooks/sessionEnd`
- Re-install: `./install-hook`
**Summaries failing:**
- Check API key: `echo $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`
- Check logs in ~/.config/superpowers/conversation-index/
- Try manual: `./index-conversations --session <uuid>`
**Search not finding results:**
- Verify indexed: `./index-conversations --verify`
- Try text search: `./search-conversations --text "exact phrase"`
- Rebuild if needed: `./index-conversations --rebuild`
## Excluding Projects
To exclude specific projects from indexing (e.g., meta-conversations), create:
`~/.config/superpowers/conversation-index/exclude.txt`
```
# One project name per line
# Lines starting with # are comments
-Users-yourname-Documents-some-project
```
Or set env variable:
```bash
export CONVERSATION_SEARCH_EXCLUDE_PROJECTS="project1,project2"
```
## Storage
- **Archive:** `~/.config/superpowers/conversation-archive/<project>/<uuid>.jsonl`
- **Summaries:** `~/.config/superpowers/conversation-archive/<project>/<uuid>-summary.txt`
- **Database:** `~/.config/superpowers/conversation-index/db.sqlite`
- **Exclusions:** `~/.config/superpowers/conversation-index/exclude.txt` (optional)
## Technical Details
- **Embeddings:** @xenova/transformers (all-MiniLM-L6-v2, 384 dimensions, local/free)
- **Vector search:** sqlite-vec (local/free)
- **Summaries:** Claude Haiku with Sonnet fallback (~$0.01-0.02/conversation)
- **Parser:** Handles multi-message exchanges and sidechains
## See Also
- **Searching:** See SKILL.md for search modes (vector, text, time filtering)
- **Deployment:** See DEPLOYMENT.md for production runbook

name: Remembering Conversations
description: Search previous Claude Code conversations for facts, patterns, decisions, and context using semantic or text search
when_to_use: When your human partner mentions "we discussed this before". When debugging similar issues. When looking for architectural decisions or code patterns from past work. Before reinventing solutions. When you need to find a specific git SHA or error message.
version: 1.0.0
---
# Remembering Conversations
Search archived conversations using semantic similarity or exact text matching.
**Core principle:** Search before reinventing.
**Announce:** "I'm searching previous conversations for [topic]."
**Setup:** See INDEXING.md
## When to Use
**Search when:**
- Your human partner mentions "we discussed this before"
- Debugging similar issues
- Looking for architectural decisions or patterns
- Before implementing something familiar
**Don't search when:**
- Info in current conversation
- Question about current codebase (use Grep/Read)
## In-Session Use
**Always use subagents** (50-100x context savings). See skills/getting-started for workflow.
**Manual/CLI use:** Direct search (below) for humans outside Claude Code sessions.
## Direct Search (Manual/CLI)
**Tool:** `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/collaboration/remembering-conversations/tool/search-conversations`
**Modes:**
```bash
search-conversations "query" # Vector similarity (default)
search-conversations --text "exact" # Exact string match
search-conversations --both "query" # Both modes
```
**Flags:**
```bash
--after YYYY-MM-DD # Filter by date
--before YYYY-MM-DD # Filter by date
--limit N # Max results (default: 10)
--help # Full usage
```
**Examples:**
```bash
# Semantic search
search-conversations "React Router authentication errors"
# Find git SHA
search-conversations --text "a1b2c3d4"
# Time range
search-conversations --after 2025-09-01 "refactoring"
```
Returns: project, date, conversation summary, matched exchange, similarity %, file path.
**For details:** Run `search-conversations --help`

# Conversation Search Agent
You are searching historical Claude Code conversations for relevant context.
**Your task:**
1. Search conversations for: {TOPIC}
2. Read the top 2-5 most relevant results
3. Synthesize key findings (max 1000 words)
4. Return synthesis + source pointers (so main agent can dig deeper)
## Search Query
{SEARCH_QUERY}
## What to Look For
{FOCUS_AREAS}
Example focus areas:
- What was the problem or question?
- What solution was chosen and why?
- What alternatives were considered and rejected?
- Any gotchas, edge cases, or lessons learned?
- Relevant code patterns, APIs, or approaches used
- Architectural decisions and rationale
## How to Search
Run:
```bash
~/.claude/skills/collaboration/remembering-conversations/tool/search-conversations "{SEARCH_QUERY}"
```
This returns:
- Project name and date
- Conversation summary (AI-generated)
- Matched exchange with similarity score
- File path and line numbers
Read the full conversations for top 2-5 results to get complete context.
## Output Format
**Required structure:**
### Summary
[Synthesize findings in 200-1000 words. Adapt structure to what you found:
- Quick answer? 1-2 paragraphs.
- Complex topic? Use sections (Context/Solution/Rationale/Lessons/Code).
- Multiple approaches? Compare and contrast.
- Historical evolution? Show progression chronologically.
Focus on actionable insights for the current task.]
### Sources
[List ALL conversations examined, in order of relevance:]
**1. [project-name, YYYY-MM-DD]** - X% match
Conversation summary: [One sentence - what was this conversation about?]
File: ~/.clank/conversation-archive/.../uuid.jsonl:start-end
Status: [Read in detail | Reviewed summary only | Skimmed]
**2. [project-name, YYYY-MM-DD]** - X% match
Conversation summary: ...
File: ...
Status: ...
[Continue for all examined sources...]
### For Follow-Up
Main agent can:
- Ask you to dig deeper into specific source (#1, #2, etc.)
- Ask you to read adjacent exchanges in a conversation
- Ask you to search with refined query
- Read sources directly (discouraged - risks context bloat)
## Critical Rules
**DO:**
- Search using the provided query
- Read full conversations for top results
- Synthesize into actionable insights (200-1000 words)
- Include ALL sources with metadata (project, date, summary, file, status)
- Focus on what will help the current task
- Include specific details (function names, error messages, line numbers)
**DO NOT:**
- Include raw conversation excerpts (synthesize instead)
- Paste full file contents
- Add meta-commentary ("I searched and found...")
- Exceed 1000 words in Summary section
- Return search results verbatim
## Example Output
```
### Summary
developer needed to handle authentication errors in React Router 7 data loaders
without crashing the app. The solution uses RR7's errorElement + useRouteError()
to catch 401s and redirect to login.
**Key implementation:**
Protected route wrapper catches loader errors, checks error.status === 401.
If 401, redirects to /login with return URL. Otherwise shows error boundary.
**Why this works:**
Loaders can't use hooks (tried useNavigate, failed). Throwing redirect()
bypasses error handling. Final approach lets errors bubble to errorElement
where component context is available.
**Critical gotchas:**
- Test with expired tokens, not just missing tokens
- Error boundaries need unique keys per route or won't reset
- Always include return URL in redirect
- Loaders execute before components, no hook access
**Code pattern:**
```typescript
// In loader
if (!response.ok) throw { status: response.status, message: 'Failed' };
// In ErrorBoundary
const error = useRouteError();
if (error.status === 401) navigate('/login?return=' + location.pathname);
```
### Sources
**1. [react-router-7-starter, 2024-09-17]** - 92% match
Conversation summary: Built authentication system with JWT, implemented protected routes
File: ~/.clank/conversation-archive/react-router-7-starter/19df92b9.jsonl:145-289
Status: Read in detail (multiple exchanges on error handling evolution)
**2. [react-router-docs-reading, 2024-09-10]** - 78% match
Conversation summary: Read RR7 docs, discussed new loader patterns and errorElement
File: ~/.clank/conversation-archive/react-router-docs-reading/a3c871f2.jsonl:56-98
Status: Reviewed summary only (confirmed errorElement usage)
**3. [auth-debugging, 2024-09-18]** - 73% match
Conversation summary: Fixed token expiration handling and error boundary reset issues
File: ~/.clank/conversation-archive/react-router-7-starter/7b2e8d91.jsonl:201-345
Status: Read in detail (discovered gotchas about keys and expired tokens)
### For Follow-Up
Main agent can ask me to:
- Dig deeper into source #1 (full error handling evolution)
- Read adjacent exchanges in #3 (more debugging context)
- Search for "React Router error boundary patterns" more broadly
```
This output:
- Synthesis: ~350 words (actionable, specific)
- Sources: Full metadata for 3 conversations
- Enables iteration without context bloat

# Find exact string (git SHA, error message)
search-conversations --text "a1b2c3d4e5f6"
# Time filtering
search-conversations --after 2025-09-01 "refactoring"

# Combine modes
search-conversations --both "React Router data loading"
OUTPUT FORMAT:
For each result:
- Project name and date
- Conversation summary (AI-generated)
- Matched exchange with similarity % (vector mode)
- File path with line numbers
Example:
1. [react-router-7-starter, 2025-09-17]
Built authentication with JWT, implemented protected routes.
92% match: "How do I handle auth errors in loaders?"
~/.clank/conversation-archive/.../uuid.jsonl:145-167
QUERY TIPS:
- Use natural language: "How did we handle X?"
- Be specific: "React Router data loading" not "routing"
- Include context: "TypeScript type narrowing in guards"

name: Subagent-Driven Development
description: Execute implementation plan by dispatching fresh subagent for each task, with code review between tasks
when_to_use: Alternative to executing-plans when staying in same session. When tasks are independent. When want fast iteration with review checkpoints. After writing implementation plan.
version: 1.0.0
---
# Subagent-Driven Development
Execute plan by dispatching fresh subagent per task, with code review after each.
**Core principle:** Fresh subagent per task + review between tasks = high quality, fast iteration
## Overview
**vs. Executing Plans (parallel session):**
- Same session (no context switch)
- Fresh subagent per task (no context pollution)
- Code review after each task (catch issues early)
- Faster iteration (no human-in-loop between tasks)
**When to use:**
- Staying in this session
- Tasks are mostly independent
- Want continuous progress with quality gates
**When NOT to use:**
- Need to review plan first (use executing-plans)
- Tasks are tightly coupled (manual execution better)
- Plan needs revision (brainstorm first)
## The Process
### 1. Load Plan
Read plan file, create TodoWrite with all tasks.
### 2. Execute Task with Subagent
For each task:
**Dispatch fresh subagent:**
```
Task tool (general-purpose):
description: "Implement Task N: [task name]"
prompt: |
You are implementing Task N from [plan-file].
Read that task carefully. Your job is to:
1. Implement exactly what the task specifies
2. Write tests (following TDD if task says to)
3. Verify implementation works
4. Commit your work
5. Report back
Work from: [directory]
Report: What you implemented, what you tested, test results, files changed, any issues
```
**Subagent reports back** with summary of work.
### 3. Review Subagent's Work
**Dispatch code-reviewer subagent:**
```
Task tool (code-reviewer):
Use template at skills/collaboration/requesting-code-review/code-reviewer.md
WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED: [from subagent's report]
PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS: Task N from [plan-file]
BASE_SHA: [commit before task]
HEAD_SHA: [current commit]
DESCRIPTION: [task summary]
```
**Code reviewer returns:** Strengths, Issues (Critical/Important/Minor), Assessment
### 4. Apply Review Feedback
**If issues found:**
- Fix Critical issues immediately
- Fix Important issues before next task
- Note Minor issues
**Dispatch follow-up subagent if needed:**
```
"Fix issues from code review: [list issues]"
```
### 5. Mark Complete, Next Task
- Mark task as completed in TodoWrite
- Move to next task
- Repeat steps 2-5
### 6. Final Review
After all tasks complete, dispatch final code-reviewer:
- Reviews entire implementation
- Checks all plan requirements met
- Validates overall architecture
### 7. Complete Development
After final review passes:
- Announce: "I'm using the Finishing a Development Branch skill to complete this work."
- Switch to skills/collaboration/finishing-a-development-branch
- Follow that skill to verify tests, present options, execute choice
## Example Workflow
```
You: I'm using Subagent-Driven Development to execute this plan.
[Load plan, create TodoWrite]
Task 1: Hook installation script
[Dispatch implementation subagent]
Subagent: Implemented install-hook with tests, 5/5 passing
[Get git SHAs, dispatch code-reviewer]
Reviewer: Strengths: Good test coverage. Issues: None. Ready.
[Mark Task 1 complete]
Task 2: Recovery modes
[Dispatch implementation subagent]
Subagent: Added verify/repair, 8/8 tests passing
[Dispatch code-reviewer]
Reviewer: Strengths: Solid. Issues (Important): Missing progress reporting
[Dispatch fix subagent]
Fix subagent: Added progress every 100 conversations
[Verify fix, mark Task 2 complete]
...
[After all tasks]
[Dispatch final code-reviewer]
Final reviewer: All requirements met, ready to merge
Done!
```
## Advantages
**vs. Manual execution:**
- Subagents follow TDD naturally
- Fresh context per task (no confusion)
- Parallel-safe (subagents don't interfere)
**vs. Executing Plans:**
- Same session (no handoff)
- Continuous progress (no waiting)
- Review checkpoints automatic
**Cost:**
- More subagent invocations
- But catches issues early (cheaper than debugging later)
## Red Flags
**Never:**
- Skip code review between tasks
- Proceed with unfixed Critical issues
- Dispatch multiple implementation subagents in parallel (conflicts)
- Implement without reading plan task
**If subagent fails task:**
- Dispatch fix subagent with specific instructions
- Don't try to fix manually (context pollution)
## Integration
**Pairs with:**
- skills/collaboration/writing-plans (creates the plan)
- skills/collaboration/requesting-code-review (review template)
- skills/testing/test-driven-development (subagents follow this)
**Alternative to:**
- skills/collaboration/executing-plans (parallel session)

name: Using Git Worktrees
description: Create isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification
when_to_use: When starting feature implementation in isolation. When brainstorming transitions to code. When need separate workspace without branch switching. Before executing implementation plans.
version: 1.0.0
---
# Using Git Worktrees
## Overview
Git worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching.
**Core principle:** Systematic directory selection + safety verification = reliable isolation.
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the Using Git Worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace."
## Directory Selection Process
Follow this priority order:
### 1. Check Existing Directories
```bash
# Check in priority order
ls -d .worktrees 2>/dev/null # Preferred (hidden)
ls -d worktrees 2>/dev/null # Alternative
```
**If found:** Use that directory. If both exist, `.worktrees` wins.
### 2. Check CLAUDE.md
```bash
grep -i "worktree.*director" CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null
```
**If preference specified:** Use it without asking.
### 3. Ask User
If no directory exists and no CLAUDE.md preference:
```
No worktree directory found. Where should I create worktrees?
1. .worktrees/ (project-local, hidden)
2. ~/.clank-worktrees/<project-name>/ (global location)
Which would you prefer?
```
## Safety Verification
### For Project-Local Directories (.worktrees or worktrees)
**MUST verify .gitignore before creating worktree:**
```bash
# Check if directory pattern in .gitignore
grep -q "^\.worktrees/$" .gitignore || grep -q "^worktrees/$" .gitignore
```
**If NOT in .gitignore:**
Per Jesse's rule "Fix broken things immediately":
1. Add appropriate line to .gitignore
2. Commit the change
3. Proceed with worktree creation
**Why critical:** Prevents accidentally committing worktree contents to repository.
### For Global Directory (~/.clank-worktrees)
No .gitignore verification needed - outside project entirely.
## Creation Steps
### 1. Detect Project Name
```bash
project=$(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)")
```
### 2. Create Worktree
```bash
# Determine full path
case $LOCATION in
.worktrees|worktrees)
path="$LOCATION/$BRANCH_NAME"
;;
~/.clank-worktrees/*)
path="~/.clank-worktrees/$project/$BRANCH_NAME"
;;
esac
# Create worktree with new branch
git worktree add "$path" -b "$BRANCH_NAME"
cd "$path"
```
### 3. Run Project Setup
Auto-detect and run appropriate setup:
```bash
# Node.js
if [ -f package.json ]; then npm install; fi
# Rust
if [ -f Cargo.toml ]; then cargo build; fi
# Python
if [ -f requirements.txt ]; then pip install -r requirements.txt; fi
if [ -f pyproject.toml ]; then poetry install; fi
# Go
if [ -f go.mod ]; then go mod download; fi
```
### 4. Verify Clean Baseline
Run tests to ensure worktree starts clean:
```bash
# Examples - use project-appropriate command
npm test
cargo test
pytest
go test ./...
```
**If tests fail:** Report failures, ask whether to proceed or investigate.
**If tests pass:** Report ready.
### 5. Report Location
```
Worktree ready at <full-path>
Tests passing (<N> tests, 0 failures)
Ready to implement <feature-name>
```
## Quick Reference
| Situation | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| `.worktrees/` exists | Use it (verify .gitignore) |
| `worktrees/` exists | Use it (verify .gitignore) |
| Both exist | Use `.worktrees/` |
| Neither exists | Check CLAUDE.md → Ask user |
| Directory not in .gitignore | Add it immediately + commit |
| Tests fail during baseline | Report failures + ask |
| No package.json/Cargo.toml | Skip dependency install |
## Common Mistakes
**Skipping .gitignore verification**
- **Problem:** Worktree contents get tracked, pollute git status
- **Fix:** Always grep .gitignore before creating project-local worktree
**Assuming directory location**
- **Problem:** Creates inconsistency, violates project conventions
- **Fix:** Follow priority: existing > CLAUDE.md > ask
**Proceeding with failing tests**
- **Problem:** Can't distinguish new bugs from pre-existing issues
- **Fix:** Report failures, get explicit permission to proceed
**Hardcoding setup commands**
- **Problem:** Breaks on projects using different tools
- **Fix:** Auto-detect from project files (package.json, etc.)
## Example Workflow
```
You: I'm using the Using Git Worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace.
[Check .worktrees/ - exists]
[Verify .gitignore - contains .worktrees/]
[Create worktree: git worktree add .worktrees/auth -b feature/auth]
[Run npm install]
[Run npm test - 47 passing]
Worktree ready at /Users/jesse/myproject/.worktrees/auth
Tests passing (47 tests, 0 failures)
Ready to implement auth feature
```
## Red Flags
**Never:**
- Create worktree without .gitignore verification (project-local)
- Skip baseline test verification
- Proceed with failing tests without asking
- Assume directory location when ambiguous
- Skip CLAUDE.md check
**Always:**
- Follow directory priority: existing > CLAUDE.md > ask
- Verify .gitignore for project-local
- Auto-detect and run project setup
- Verify clean test baseline
## Integration
**Called by:**
- skills/collaboration/brainstorming (Phase 4)
- Any skill needing isolated workspace

name: Writing Plans
description: Create detailed implementation plans with bite-sized tasks for engineers with zero codebase context
when_to_use: After brainstorming/design is complete. Before implementation begins. When delegating to another developer or session. When brainstorming skill hands off to planning.
version: 2.0.0
---
# Writing Plans
## Overview
Write comprehensive implementation plans assuming the engineer has zero context for our codebase and questionable taste. Document everything they need to know: which files to touch for each task, code, testing, docs they might need to check, how to test it. Give them the whole plan as bite-sized tasks. DRY. YAGNI. TDD. Frequent commits.
Assume they are a skilled developer, but know almost nothing about our toolset or problem domain. Assume they don't know good test design very well.
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the Writing Plans skill to create the implementation plan."
**Context:** This should be run in a dedicated worktree (created by brainstorming skill).
**Save plans to:** `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md`
## Bite-Sized Task Granularity
**Each step is one action (2-5 minutes):**
- "Write the failing test" - step
- "Run it to make sure it fails" - step
- "Implement the minimal code to make the test pass" - step
- "Run the tests and make sure they pass" - step
- "Commit" - step
## Plan Document Header
**Every plan MUST start with this header:**
```markdown
# [Feature Name] Implementation Plan
> **For Claude:** Use `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/collaboration/executing-plans/SKILL.md` to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** [One sentence describing what this builds]
**Architecture:** [2-3 sentences about approach]
**Tech Stack:** [Key technologies/libraries]
---
```
## Task Structure
```markdown
### Task N: [Component Name]
**Files:**
- Create: `exact/path/to/file.py`
- Modify: `exact/path/to/existing.py:123-145`
- Test: `tests/exact/path/to/test.py`
**Step 1: Write the failing test**
```python
def test_specific_behavior():
result = function(input)
assert result == expected
```
**Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
Run: `pytest tests/path/test.py::test_name -v`
Expected: FAIL with "function not defined"
**Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
```python
def function(input):
return expected
```
**Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
Run: `pytest tests/path/test.py::test_name -v`
Expected: PASS
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add tests/path/test.py src/path/file.py
git commit -m "feat: add specific feature"
```
```
## Remember
- Exact file paths always
- Complete code in plan (not "add validation")
- Exact commands with expected output
- Reference relevant skills with @ syntax
- DRY, YAGNI, TDD, frequent commits
## Execution Handoff
After saving the plan, offer execution choice:
**"Plan complete and saved to `docs/plans/<filename>.md`. Two execution options:**
**1. Subagent-Driven (this session)** - I dispatch fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration
**2. Parallel Session (separate)** - Open new session with executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints
**Which approach?"**
**If Subagent-Driven chosen:**
- Use skills/collaboration/subagent-driven-development
- Stay in this session
- Fresh subagent per task + code review
**If Parallel Session chosen:**
- Guide them to open new session in worktree
- New session uses skills/collaboration/executing-plans

# Dispatching Parallel Agents
## Overview
You delegate tasks to specialized agents with isolated context. By precisely crafting their instructions and context, you ensure they stay focused and succeed at their task. They should never inherit your session's context or history — you construct exactly what they need. This also preserves your own context for coordination work.
When you have multiple unrelated failures (different test files, different subsystems, different bugs), investigating them sequentially wastes time. Each investigation is independent and can happen in parallel.
**Core principle:** Dispatch one agent per independent problem domain. Let them work concurrently.

# Executing Plans
## Overview
Load plan, review critically, execute all tasks, report when complete.
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the executing-plans skill to implement this plan."
**Note:** Tell your human partner that Superpowers works much better with access to subagents. The quality of its work will be significantly higher if run on a platform with subagent support (such as Claude Code or Codex). If subagents are available, use superpowers:subagent-driven-development instead of this skill.
## The Process
### Step 1: Load and Review Plan
1. Read plan file
2. Review critically - identify any questions or concerns about the plan
3. If concerns: Raise them with your human partner before starting
4. If no concerns: Create TodoWrite and proceed
### Step 2: Execute Tasks
For each task:
1. Mark as in_progress
2. Follow each step exactly (plan has bite-sized steps)
3. Run verifications as specified
4. Mark as completed
### Step 3: Complete Development
After all tasks complete and verified:
- Announce: "I'm using the finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work."
- **REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch
- Follow that skill to verify tests, present options, execute choice
## When to Stop and Ask for Help
**STOP executing immediately when:**
- Hit a blocker (missing dependency, test fails, instruction unclear)
- Plan has critical gaps preventing starting
- You don't understand an instruction
- Verification fails repeatedly
**Ask for clarification rather than guessing.**
## When to Revisit Earlier Steps
**Return to Review (Step 1) when:**
- Partner updates the plan based on your feedback
- Fundamental approach needs rethinking
**Don't force through blockers** - stop and ask.
## Remember
- Review plan critically first
- Follow plan steps exactly
- Don't skip verifications
- Reference skills when plan says to
- Stop when blocked, don't guess
- Never start implementation on main/master branch without explicit user consent
## Integration
**Required workflow skills:**
- **superpowers:using-git-worktrees** - Detects workspace environment and offers worktree isolation on request
- **superpowers:writing-plans** - Creates the plan this skill executes
- **superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch** - Complete development after all tasks

description: Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup

# Finishing a Development Branch
## Overview
Guide completion of development work by presenting clear options and handling chosen workflow.
**Core principle:** Verify tests → Detect environment → Present options → Execute choice → Clean up.
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work."
## The Process
### Step 1: Verify Tests
**Before presenting options, verify tests pass:**
```bash
# Run project's test suite
npm test / cargo test / pytest / go test ./...
```
**If tests fail:**
```
Tests failing (<N> failures). Must fix before completing:
[Show failures]
Cannot proceed with merge/PR until tests pass.
```
Stop. Don't proceed to Step 2.
**If tests pass:** Continue to Step 2.
### Step 2: Detect Environment
**Determine workspace state before presenting options:**
```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
```
This determines which menu to show and how cleanup works:
| State | Menu | Cleanup |
|-------|------|---------|
| `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON` (normal repo) | Standard 4 options | No worktree to clean up |
| `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, named branch | Standard 4 options | Provenance-based (see Step 6) |
| `GIT_DIR != GIT_COMMON`, detached HEAD | Reduced 3 options (no merge) | No cleanup (externally managed) |
### Step 3: Determine Base Branch
```bash
# Try common base branches
git merge-base HEAD main 2>/dev/null || git merge-base HEAD master 2>/dev/null
```
Or ask: "This branch split from main - is that correct?"
### Step 4: Present Options
**Normal repo and named-branch worktree — present exactly these 4 options:**
```
Implementation complete. What would you like to do?
1. Merge back to <base-branch> locally
2. Push and create a Pull Request
3. Keep the branch as-is (I'll handle it later)
4. Discard this work
Which option?
```
**Detached HEAD — present exactly these 3 options:**
```
Implementation complete. You're on a detached HEAD (externally managed workspace).
1. Push as new branch and create a Pull Request
2. Keep as-is (I'll handle it later)
3. Discard this work
Which option?
```
**Don't add explanation** - keep options concise.
### Step 5: Execute Choice
#### Option 1: Merge Locally
```bash
# Get main repo root for CWD safety
MAIN_ROOT=$(git -C "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/.." rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$MAIN_ROOT"
# Merge first — verify success before removing anything
git checkout <base-branch>
git pull
git merge <feature-branch>
# Verify tests on merged result
<test command>
# Only after merge succeeds: cleanup worktree (Step 6), then delete branch
```
Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 6), then delete branch:
```bash
git branch -d <feature-branch>
```
#### Option 2: Push and Create PR
```bash
# Push branch
git push -u origin <feature-branch>
# Create PR
gh pr create --title "<title>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
<2-3 bullets of what changed>
## Test Plan
- [ ] <verification steps>
EOF
)"
```
**Do NOT clean up worktree** — user needs it alive to iterate on PR feedback.
#### Option 3: Keep As-Is
Report: "Keeping branch <name>. Worktree preserved at <path>."
**Don't cleanup worktree.**
#### Option 4: Discard
**Confirm first:**
```
This will permanently delete:
- Branch <name>
- All commits: <commit-list>
- Worktree at <path>
Type 'discard' to confirm.
```
Wait for exact confirmation.
If confirmed:
```bash
MAIN_ROOT=$(git -C "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/.." rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$MAIN_ROOT"
```
Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 6), then force-delete branch:
```bash
git branch -D <feature-branch>
```
### Step 6: Cleanup Workspace
**Only runs for Options 1 and 4.** Options 2 and 3 always preserve the worktree.
```bash
GIT_DIR=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
GIT_COMMON=$(cd "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
WORKTREE_PATH=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
```
**If `GIT_DIR == GIT_COMMON`:** Normal repo, no worktree to clean up. Done.
**If worktree path is under `.worktrees/`, `worktrees/`, or `~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/`:** Superpowers created this worktree — we own cleanup.
```bash
MAIN_ROOT=$(git -C "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/.." rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$MAIN_ROOT"
git worktree remove "$WORKTREE_PATH"
git worktree prune # Self-healing: clean up any stale registrations
```
**Otherwise:** The host environment (harness) owns this workspace. Do NOT remove it. If your platform provides a workspace-exit tool, use it. Otherwise, leave the workspace in place.
## Quick Reference
| Option | Merge | Push | Keep Worktree | Cleanup Branch |
|--------|-------|------|---------------|----------------|
| 1. Merge locally | yes | - | - | yes |
| 2. Create PR | - | yes | yes | - |
| 3. Keep as-is | - | - | yes | - |
| 4. Discard | - | - | - | yes (force) |
## Common Mistakes
**Skipping test verification**
- **Problem:** Merge broken code, create failing PR
- **Fix:** Always verify tests before offering options
**Open-ended questions**
- **Problem:** "What should I do next?" is ambiguous
- **Fix:** Present exactly 4 structured options (or 3 for detached HEAD)
**Cleaning up worktree for Option 2**
- **Problem:** Remove worktree user needs for PR iteration
- **Fix:** Only cleanup for Options 1 and 4
**Deleting branch before removing worktree**
- **Problem:** `git branch -d` fails because worktree still references the branch
- **Fix:** Merge first, remove worktree, then delete branch
**Running git worktree remove from inside the worktree**
- **Problem:** Command fails silently when CWD is inside the worktree being removed
- **Fix:** Always `cd` to main repo root before `git worktree remove`
**Cleaning up harness-owned worktrees**
- **Problem:** Removing a worktree the harness created causes phantom state
- **Fix:** Only clean up worktrees under `.worktrees/`, `worktrees/`, or `~/.config/superpowers/worktrees/`
**No confirmation for discard**
- **Problem:** Accidentally delete work
- **Fix:** Require typed "discard" confirmation
## Red Flags
**Never:**
- Proceed with failing tests
- Merge without verifying tests on result
- Delete work without confirmation
- Force-push without explicit request
- Remove a worktree before confirming merge success
- Clean up worktrees you didn't create (provenance check)
- Run `git worktree remove` from inside the worktree
**Always:**
- Verify tests before offering options
- Detect environment before presenting menu
- Present exactly 4 options (or 3 for detached HEAD)
- Get typed confirmation for Option 4
- Clean up worktree for Options 1 & 4 only
- `cd` to main repo root before worktree removal
- Run `git worktree prune` after removal

- **subagent-driven-development** (Step 7) - After all tasks complete
- **executing-plans** (Step 5) - After all batches complete

name: Getting Started with Skills
description: Skills wiki intro - mandatory workflows, search tool, brainstorming triggers, personal skills
when_to_use: Read this FIRST at start of each conversation when skills are active
version: 3.0.0
---
# Getting Started with Skills
Two skill libraries work together:
- **Core skills** at `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/` (from plugin)
- **Personal skills** at `~/.config/superpowers/skills/` (yours to create and share)
Personal skills shadow core skills when names match.
## Just Read This Guide?
**RIGHT NOW**: Find the plugin location and list skills:
```bash
# Find plugin location
find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -name "superpowers" -type d 2>/dev/null | grep -v ".git" | head -1
# Then run (replace PATH with the path found above):
PATH/scripts/find-skills
```
Or just use the full path directly:
```bash
~/.claude/plugins/cache/superpowers/scripts/find-skills
```
**THEN**: Follow the workflows below based on what your partner is asking for.
## How to Reference Skills
**DO NOT use @ links** - they force-load entire files, burning 200k+ context instantly.
**INSTEAD, use skill path references:**
- Format: `skills/category/skill-name` (no @ prefix, no /SKILL.md suffix)
- Example: `skills/collaboration/brainstorming` or `skills/testing/test-driven-development`
- Load with Read tool only when needed
**When you see skill references in documentation:**
- `skills/path/name` → Check personal first (`~/.config/superpowers/skills/path/name/SKILL.md`)
- If not found, check core (`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/path/name/SKILL.md`)
- Load supporting files only when implementing
## Mandatory Workflow 1: Brainstorming Before Coding
**When your human partner wants to start a project, no matter how big or small:**
**YOU MUST immediately read:** skills/collaboration/brainstorming
**Don't:**
- Jump straight to code
- Wait for /brainstorm command
- Skip brainstorming because you "understand the idea"
**Why:** Just writing code is almost never the right first step. We always understand requirements and plan first.
## Mandatory Workflow 2: Before ANY Task
**1. Find skills** (shows all, or filter by pattern):
Use the plugin cache path (default: `~/.claude/plugins/cache/superpowers`):
```bash
~/.claude/plugins/cache/superpowers/scripts/find-skills # Show all
~/.claude/plugins/cache/superpowers/scripts/find-skills PATTERN # Filter by pattern
```
**2. Search conversations:**
Dispatch subagent (see Workflow 3) to check for relevant past work.
**If skills found:**
1. READ the skill - check personal first (`~/.config/superpowers/skills/path/SKILL.md`), then core (`~/.claude/plugins/cache/superpowers/skills/path/SKILL.md`)
2. ANNOUNCE usage: "I'm using the [Skill Name] skill"
3. FOLLOW the skill (many are rigid requirements)
**"This doesn't count as a task" is rationalization.** Skills/conversations exist and you didn't search for them or didn't use them = failed task.
## Mandatory Workflow 3: Historical Context Search
**When:** Your human partner mentions past work, issue feels familiar, starting task in familiar domain, stuck/blocked, before reinventing
**When NOT:** Info in current convo, codebase state questions, first encounter, partner wants fresh thinking
**How (use subagent for 50-100x context savings):**
1. Dispatch subagent with template: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/collaboration/remembering-conversations/tool/prompts/search-agent.md`
2. Receive synthesis (200-1000 words) + source pointers
3. Apply insights (never load raw .jsonl files)
**Example:**
```
Partner: "How did we handle auth errors in React Router?"
You: Searching past conversations...
[Dispatch subagent → 350-word synthesis]
[Apply without loading 50k tokens]
```
**Red flags:** Reading .jsonl files directly, pasting excerpts, asking "which conversation?", browsing archives
**Pattern:** Search → Subagent synthesizes → Apply. Fast, focused, context-efficient.
## Announcing Skill Usage
**Every time you start using a skill, announce it:**
"I'm using the [Skill Name] skill to [what you're doing]."
**Examples:**
- "I'm using the Brainstorming skill to refine your idea into a design."
- "I'm using the Test-Driven Development skill to implement this feature."
- "I'm using the Systematic Debugging skill to find the root cause."
- "I'm using the Refactoring Safely skill to extract these methods."
**Why:** Transparency helps your human partner understand your process and catch errors early.
## Skills with Checklists
**If a skill contains a checklist, you MUST create TodoWrite todos for EACH checklist item.**
**Don't:**
- Work through checklist mentally
- Skip creating todos "to save time"
- Batch multiple items into one todo
- Mark complete without doing them
**Why:** Checklists without TodoWrite tracking = steps get skipped. Every time.
**Examples:** TDD (write test, watch fail, implement, verify), Systematic Debugging (4 phases), Writing Skills (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR)
## How to Read a Skill
1. **Frontmatter** - `when_to_use` match your situation?
2. **Overview** - Core principle relevant?
3. **Quick Reference** - Scan for your pattern
4. **Implementation** - Full details
5. **Supporting files** - Load only when implementing
**Many skills contain rigid rules (TDD, debugging, verification).** Follow them exactly. Don't adapt away the discipline.
**Some skills are flexible patterns (architecture, naming).** Adapt core principles to your context.
The skill itself tells you which type it is.
## Referencing Skills in Documentation
**When writing documentation that references other skills:**
Use path format without `@` prefix or `/SKILL.md` suffix:
- ✅ Good: `skills/testing/test-driven-development`
- ✅ Good: `skills/debugging/systematic-debugging`
- ❌ Bad: `@skills/testing/test-driven-development/SKILL.md` (force-loads, burns context)
**Why no @ links:** `@` syntax force-loads files immediately, consuming 200k+ context before you need them.
**To read a skill reference:** Use Read tool on `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/category/skill-name/SKILL.md`
## Instructions ≠ Permission to Skip Workflows
Your human partner's specific instructions describe WHAT to do, not HOW.
"Add X", "Fix Y" = the goal, NOT permission to skip brainstorming, TDD, or RED-GREEN-REFACTOR.
**Red flags:** "Instruction was specific" • "Seems simple" • "Workflow is overkill"
## Writing and Sharing Skills
**All personal skills are written to `~/.config/superpowers/skills/`**
**Before writing ANY skill:**
1. **STOP** - Even if your human partner gave specific instructions
