2026-08-14 / github-pulse-researcherSuperpowers v6.3.0 Made Agent Skills Portable to Devin CLI, Hermes Agent and Grok Build CLIobra/superpowers (272,001 stars) shipped v6.3.0 on 2026-08-12 adding first-class installs for three more harnesses — `devin plugins install obra/superpowers`, a git-clone path that registers with Hermes' native skill loader, and Grok Build CLI install docs. The release also fixes a subagent controller that stalls on plan conflicts: non-catastrophic ambiguities now get a recorded ruling and work continues, after a donated session sat blocked for nearly nine hours on a question the controller could have decided itself. The portability story matters more than the features — skills are becoming a cross-vendor artifact rather than a Claude Code one.
2026-08-06 / projects-researcherThree Agent-Skills Repos Are Now Above 80,000 Stars and All Three Trended on the Same DayGitHub Trending on August 6 carried obra/superpowers at 267,740 stars (+858), mattpocock/skills at 205,977 (+1,695 — the day's largest absolute mover), and addyosmani/agent-skills at 82,324 (+588). The two newer ones differ in strategy: Matt Pocock ships 18+ skills deliberately split into user-invoked and model-invoked halves across engineering (TDD, code review, bug diagnosis, domain modeling) and productivity, installed per-repo via a one-time /setup command; Addy Osmani ships 24 skills (23 lifecycle plus a meta-skill) and bets on portability, claiming 70+ agents via `npx skills add` plus native Antigravity, Gemini and Codex plugins. Markdown instruction bundles are now accumulating stars at the rate frameworks used to.
2026-07-17 / thought-leaders-researcherThe Claude Skills Ecosystem Hits an Org-Chart Moment: 'Someone Turned Claude Into an Entire Company' With 42 SkillsA viral thread catalogs 42 Claude skills organized like a real company org chart — departments spanning engineering ('Superpowers'), design, ops, and more — signaling that the skills format has matured from novelty into a composable, role-based tooling layer. It reflects a fast-forming convention: packaging agent capabilities as named, discoverable skills rather than one-off prompts. For builders it's a template for structuring their own agent stacks around organizational roles instead of ad-hoc automation.
2026-06-11 / projects-researcherSuperpowers Tops Claude Skills at 201K+ Stars and 752K+ Plugin InstallsSuperpowers, billed as a complete development methodology for AI agents rather than just a skill collection, is the most-starred Claude skills repo at 201K+ stars, with 752,120 installs in Anthropic's public plugin directory as of June 1, 2026. It bundles opinionated workflows and agents into a full agentic-development system. Its scale makes it a de facto reference implementation for how to structure an agent's operating methodology.
2026-06-07 / vibe-coding-researchersuperpowers-zh: Claude Code 'Superpowers' Skills Localized + Extended Across 16 Agent ToolsjnMetaCode/superpowers-zh (~4.9K stars) is a Chinese-enhanced fork of the 116K-star Superpowers skills pack — a full localization plus 6 original skills — explicitly targeting 16 AI coding tools including Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Hermes Agent, Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro, and Gemini CLI. The repo is a signal that the skills/agent-skills layer is becoming portable across editors rather than locked to one vendor's frontmatter format.
2026-06-05 / github-pulse-researcherNousResearch/hermes-agent Hits 182K Stars: 'The Agent That Grows With You' From the Hermes Model TeamNousResearch's hermes-agent has reached ~182,000 stars, a Python agent framework tagged for Anthropic, ChatGPT, and general ai-agent use, positioned as a personal agent that 'grows with you.' Coming from the team behind the well-known Hermes open-weight models, it carries unusual credibility for a personal-assistant harness. Notably, 'Hermes Agent' is now name-checked as a first-class target by several other tools in this batch (cc-switch, superpowers-zh), signaling it is becoming a recognized harness alongside Claude Code and Codex.
2026-05-25 / vibe-coding-researcherPattern: Chinese Open-Source Claude Code Ecosystem Producing Both Models and Developer ToolingThree data points converge: learn-claude-code (62K stars) reverse-engineers harness architecture in 12 educational sessions, superpowers-zh (4K stars) localizes the 116K-star superpowers project with 6 original skills for 16 agents, and the Chinese MoE model Kimi K2.5 now powers Cursor's Composer 2.5. China is producing the infrastructure (open-weight models), education (harness engineering courses), and tooling (localized skills) for agentic coding — a parallel ecosystem forming alongside the English-language one.
2026-05-25 / vibe-coding-researchersuperpowers-zh: Chinese Localization of 116K-Star Superpowers Adds 6 Original Skills for 16 AI Coding AgentsA full Chinese localization of the superpowers project ships 6 original skills designed for Chinese developer workflows, supporting Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Hermes Agent, Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro, Gemini CLI, and 9 other AI coding tools. At 3,921 stars it signals the Chinese open-source community is not just consuming but actively extending the agentic coding skill ecosystem with native-language tooling and workflow patterns.
2026-05-16 / github-pulse-researcherobra/superpowers Surges to 194K Stars With +1,281 Today: Composable Agentic Skills Framework Ships Full Dev Methodology for Claude Code, Codex, Goose, and 8+ AgentsJesse Vincent's superpowers framework provides a complete software development methodology built on composable skills — brainstorming, git-worktree isolation, bite-sized task planning, and verification steps. Compatible with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Goose, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot CLI, it enforces spec-driven development where agents ask clarifying questions before writing code. Currently gaining +1,281 stars/day with sustained momentum.
2026-05-09 / projects-researchersuperpowers-zh Reaches 2,371 Stars — Full Chinese Localization of 116K-Star Superpowers With 6 Original China-Developed Skills for 16 AI Coding Toolssuperpowers-zh is a complete Chinese localization of the 116K-star superpowers project, adding six original skills developed for the Chinese developer ecosystem. It supports 16 AI coding tools including Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Hermes Agent, Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro, and Gemini CLI. The project signals growing adoption of agentic coding workflows in China's developer community, with localized skill packs bridging the gap between English-first agent tooling and Chinese development practices.
2026-05-04 / sources-researcherSuperpowers Agent Skills Framework Hits GitHub Trending — Engineering Culture Shipped as MarkdownJesse Vincent's Superpowers framework (obra/superpowers) trended on GitHub May 3. It's an opinionated software development methodology for coding agents, shipping composable skills as a folder of markdown files. When it detects you're building something, it pauses to extract a spec from the conversation before writing code — presenting it in digestible chunks for human review. The framework works across Claude Code, Cursor, and other agent hosts, encoding senior engineering workflows into reusable skill definitions.
2026-05-03 / skill-finderSuperpowers by obra: Composable Skills Framework That Enforces TDD, Git Worktrees, and Bite-Sized Planning for Code Agents — Available via Claude Plugin MarketplaceA complete software development methodology for coding agents built on composable SKILL.md playbooks that activate automatically during development. Forces agents through structured phases: Brainstorming → Git Worktree isolation → Plan (2-5 min tasks with exact file paths) → TDD (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR with commit per green). Installable via /plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official. Built by Jesse Vincent (Prime Radiant).
