One-command install
npx superpowers-zh auto-detects your tool and installs. Zero config; restart to take effect.
China-native skills
Chinese code-review phrasing, commit conventions, doc typography, and domestic Git platforms (Gitee/Coding/JiHu) — not in upstream.
Fully localized upstream
Tracks obra/superpowers (233k+ ⭐); every core skill localized into native Chinese — calibrated, not machine-translated.
Zero-dep · MIT
Pure Markdown skills. No external deps, no network, no code upload. Triggered on demand with zero runtime cost.
An end-to-end workflow, every step guarded by a skill
Skills chain together; the AI triggers the right methodology at the right moment.

After install, AI stops "coding before thinking"
❌ Without
You: Add bulk export to the users module
AI: Sure, implementing… (starts coding)
export async function exportUsers() { … }
You: Wait — wrong format, no paging,
it OOMs on large data…✅ With superpowers-zh
You: Add bulk export to the users module
AI: First, the requirements — what format?
What data volume? Paging/streaming?
Permission checks? (triggers brainstorming)
→ plan → TDD → verify → reviewPick your tool, get the command
For most tools npx superpowers-zh auto-detects the project and installs; otherwise pass --tool.

Typical use cases
Each scenario is backed by a set of cooperating skills.
brainstorming → writing-plans → TDDAI questions the requirements, writes a plan, then builds test-first — instead of dumping code immediately.
systematic-debuggingForces reproduce-and-locate-root-cause before any fix — no more "guess and tweak" loops.
verification-before-completion → code-reviewMust run verification with evidence, then a review pass, before claiming "done".
chinese-commit-conventions → chinese-code-reviewChinese commit conventions + tiered review phrasing, wired for Gitee / Coding / JiHu GitLab.
