Superpowers for GPT-5.6

A lean, newcomer-safe Superpowers profile built specifically for Codex CLI.

This repository is a Codex-native edition of obra/superpowers, tailored for the GPT-5.6 family.

We reviewed and optimized all 13 Superpowers skills for GPT-5.6 against OpenAI’s official prompting guidance for GPT-5.6. The resulting prompt stack keeps outcomes, constraints, evidence, completion criteria, approval boundaries, and validation explicit while removing unnecessary process overhead.

Current measured profile

Measured on 2026-07-15 with the repository context-budget validator and wc -w; the upstream baseline remains pinned to commit d884ae0.

Install and quick start

This repository contains a bundle of 13 skills. Install each directory directly under skills/superpowers as a separate skill; the parent directory is not itself a skill.

Install manually

The following setup works in macOS, Linux, WSL, and Git Bash. It keeps the clone outside the discovery directory, then symlinks each skill into the Codex user skills directory:

set -eu

repo="$HOME/.agents/superpowers-gpt-5.6"
skills_dir="$HOME/.agents/skills"

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/eagleagentic/superpowers-gpt-5.6.git "$repo"
mkdir -p "$skills_dir"

for skill in "$repo"/skills/superpowers/*; do
  [ -f "$skill/SKILL.md" ] || continue
  target="$skills_dir/$(basename "$skill")"
  if [ -e "$target" ] || [ -L "$target" ]; then
    echo "Refusing to overwrite existing skill: $target" >&2
    exit 1
  fi
done

for skill in "$repo"/skills/superpowers/*; do
  [ -f "$skill/SKILL.md" ] || continue
  ln -s "$skill" "$skills_dir/$(basename "$skill")"
done

The preflight check stops before creating any skill links when a same-named installation already exists.
