    Like others I found superpowers helpful maybe 4 months ago. The models don't seem to need it anymore. I also don't have the same prompting issues the author has. Opus 5.5 tends to develop the spec, assumes I agree, and builds it. I make my sandwich and come back to a spec md, a diff, other evidence of completion. I use cc cli with a cmux-like platform it can control (ie open tabs showing specs, diffs itself).

    This looks cool but does it build as well as superpowers? One thing about using more than one implementation agent is agents may end up working on each others work. How does this prevent that?

    Does the extra parallelism increase the token cost? By how much?

    I thought superpowers was the coolest thing for about 1 day. Then the endless approval prompts and huge time increase killed it for me. I'm finding Opus 5.5 does a pretty thorough job without anything like superpowers. What would I be getting from superlite that Opus 5.5 doesn't do by itself already, and are those things actually important, or do they mostly only serve to give you peace of mind?

    "Work the task to completion. Do not prompt for user approval before <minimum checkable unit of work> is done."

      I tell it to work until a reviewer agent auditing against the spec signs off.

    I don’t understand the value of these things.

    Why not just tell Claude to figure it out and build what it needs? Why do I need a plugin or a factory or whatever.

    I just ask “can you go faster?” And claude suggests some stuff and mostly just works autonomously.
