That initially looked pretty interesting but a quick peek through issues and folks are complaining that it’s opinionated on git workflows and overriding user instructions otherwise. No thanks.

Edit: a deeper look at the issues and there are many examples of it not behaving as intended. Seems superstitious at best.

Definitely not superstitious. It's just an opinionated workflow, you can see the steps further down in the repository.

It's just spottily enforced because it's just written to the context in markdown - it's basically one of the very first attempts from the very beginning of Claude code.

But superstitious would mean it's just in your head, essentially - but this has an effect. It does create questionairs, documents every decision and plan etc. Wherever you want that is up to you, I personally didn't... But it's also definitely very much causing an big difference in behavior from Claude Code

Didn’t know what Superpowers was until this thread. Found this blog [0] describing how amazing Fable was at enhancing Superpowers.
