alt Hacker NewsI would love to know how many people are actually using superpowers.
I showed up on the agentic dev scene prior to superpowers, and I am getting concerned that >50% of my self-rolled processes are now covered by superpowers.
I no longer trust gh stars, can anyone chime in? Is superpowers now truly adopted?
If it is truly valuable, why hasn't Boris integrated the concepts yet?

It's just the new thing.
People were hyping up Oh My Opencode. When they realized it didn't lead to any significant gains in performance they hopped on the next thing.
And when the same thing happens to Superpowers it'll be something else they cling on because "this time it's different"
I just removed superpowers from my own setup. In my opinion, given the quality of the planning modes in both claude code and codex, superpowers was really just slowing things down and burning more tokens than vanilla.
I adopted superpowers, but then adapted it. I've changed some things, added some things. I suspect that my set of agent skills is probably overlapping with OP's by quite a lot now.
I also found that I have different skills for different tasks; at work security is a huge concern and I over-emphasise security in the skills. At play I'm less bothered about security and so the skills I've written to help me build stupid one-shot exploratory websites are less about security and more about refactoring and exploring concepts.
