Superpowers: How I’m using coding agents in October 2025

Skills are what give your agents Superpowers.

The first time they really popped up on my radar was a few weeks ago when Anthropic rolled out improved Office document creation. When the feature rolled out, I went poking around a bit – I asked Claude to tell me all about its new skills. And it was only too happy to dish.

This is how Claude creates docs with that new feature that came out.

These are basically markdown documents that Claude reads to do things a certain way.

This post is full of so much interesting stuff. Like Claude can use this to read a book, or doc, or repo and teach itself new skills.

This is how to install it.

You’ll need Claude Code 2.0.13 or so. Fire it up and then run:

/plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace
/plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace 

Quit and restart claude and you should be good to go.
