Never has something been more accurately named than Superpowers. I recommend it to everyone who does any kind of agentic coding, especially beginners.

Superpowers 7.0 is out. We rebuilt Brainstorming from scratch. It's now much better at helping you communicate your intent before your agents start building. blog.fsck.com/2026/10/09/w...

On the evening of October 14, @simonwillison.net and I are hosting a small, informal chat about agentic engineering and "agentic show and tell" in San Francisco. Details at: blog.fsck.com/2026/09/22/a...

Superpowers 6.4 is out! It adds support for Muse Code, Open Code 2.0 and Qwen Code. This release introduces a new 'native' execution mode for frontier models & adds a new 'diagnosing-superpowers' skill that can help you understand what needs fixing if Superpowers doesn't work like you'd expect.

How many coding agents do you think are out there? We got curious, so we set our agents loose to build a new public catalog of agents, agent sdks and multiplexers. It's live at alltheagents.org. If we're missing your favorites, please submit them.

It kind of snuck up on me, but I'm going to be joining @timoreilly.bsky.social on Live With Tim tomorrow (Wednesday) morning at 9AM Pacific! You should tune in: www.oreilly.com/live/live-wi...

I got to join Tom Preston-Warner and Sam Odio as the first guest on their new podcast, AI Worth Using. We talked about Superpowers and how it came to be. Then Tom installed Superpowers live and asked it to rebuild GitHub from scratch. If you want to see how it went, the episode is out now.

I made a demo hyper local map app to track water quality reports. I used @s.ly SuperPowers skill (for the system, blame me for the esthetics). clo-waterquality.com It is test data only for now. Feel free to make test reports. Read the about page for some background.

I'm pleased to announce Superpowers 6.3. New harnesses: Hermes, Devin CLI & Grok Build Performance with Claude Code with Opus 5 and Codex with GPT 5.6-Sol should be *better* - Claude is now less likely to spawn off duplicate reviewers and Codex is now smarter about how it waits for subagents.

We're building something really cool for teams using Superpowers inside large orgs. If that's you, I'd love to chat. DM me or drop me a line at jesse@primeradiant.com

I'm pleased to announce Superpowers 6.0. In addition to support for Pi, Antigravity and Kimi Code and a bunch of other improvements, this release builds your projects faser and is *dramatically* more token-efficient. It's available on GitHub now. primeradiant.com/blog/2026/su...

Love Superpowers? Want it to work even better for everybody? We're hiring somebody to help with community and GitHub and stuff: primeradiant.com/jobs/superpo...

@rstevens.bsky.social I presume you know the store is down?

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

My MacBook Pro's escape key had gotten sticky and unreliable. I successfully removed the keycap, cleaned the cavity and scissor mechanism, AND reassembled the key without breaking anything. The key even works right again. Please clap.

@buttplug.engineer seems relevant to your interests, although I assume this is...fanfic.
