# Superpowers
A Claude Code plugin that wires planning discipline into every session via a SessionStart hook.

## Definition
Superpowers injects a meta-skill at session start — check for relevant skills before doing anything — and ships a library of workflow skills that lazy-load on demand rather than consuming context upfront. The workflow skills cover brainstorming, test-driven development, subagent-driven development, code review, plan writing, plan execution, git worktree management, and verification before completion.
