Overall I think it's useful.

Superpowers has several skills. Its core workflow is:

- Brainstorm with you to design a spec

- Use subagents to review its own spec, then get your approval

- Based on the spec, write a plan, use subagents to review before final approval

- Use subagents to implement (using TDD)

I think that the brainstorming skill [1] is great. It helps flesh out a rough early idea. I also like that it uses subagents to adversarially review its own spec/plan; that has caught several things I would've missed. I do not like the separation of spec/plan; IMO the models are good enough to get straight to coding once the spec is written. The plan often ends up being code blocks in a Markdown doc.

A recent update got rid of the subagents for the self review and now does the self review in the main agent

Yeah I agree with the implementation plan not being that useful for me to read. I often just tell it to go after reading the design doc.
