obra/superpowers
Rank #14·Top 100·All-time stars·Cached ranking snapshot·
An agentic skills framework & software development methodology that works.
First read
Visible and active, but adoption proof is still thinner
obra/superpowers has enough public attention and recent movement to stay on the shortlist, but package usage is still partial, so the next step should be source and ecosystem validation rather than a quick yes.
Visible
272.2K public stars in the current GitStar snapshot.
Long-term anchor
Active
Last commit Aug 13, 2026.
Fresh activity
Adopted
Treat stars as discovery context until a linked package appears.
No linked package mapping
Confidence
One or more key signals are partial, so GitStar keeps the interpretation conservative.

Validation note
GitStar can summarize public signals for obra/superpowers, but the GitHub repository is still the primary place to confirm release cadence, issue activity, and maintainer intent.

🧭 Hype vs Reality
Insufficient Package DataGitStar can see repository momentum, but it does not have a reliable linked package signal yet.
Treat stars and recent movement as discovery context only until npm or PyPI usage is available.

Method note
This label appears when GitStar cannot find strong enough package telemetry to compare attention against adoption. Compare it against other Shell repos before treating stars as a moat.

About This Page
This page provides a quick overview of obra/superpowers based on GitStar's cached data. The signal chart reconstructs approximate checkpoints from current stars plus cached daily, weekly, and monthly star deltas, so it is best read as directional context rather than as a precise historical audit log.
