Superpowers for Copilot Chat
Bring Superpowers skills to GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code. A structured set of AI workflows for brainstorming, TDD, debugging, planning, code review, and more.

@superpowers /tdd — Implement with Test-Driven Development
@superpowers /debug — Systematically debug unexpected behavior
@superpowers /plan — Write a detailed implementation plan
@superpowers /verify — Confirm work is done before claiming complete
Type @superpowers (no command) to see all available skills.
