FR-AI / ANALYSIS

Why it is worth attention

It achieves dramatic context compression (2,691 vs 18,516 words) while retaining core engineering disciplines, and adaptively routes workflows to match Codex CLI's native capabilities, reducing overhead for everyday development.

Who it is for

  • Codex CLI users working with GPT-5.6
  • Developers wanting a leaner alternative to full superpowers
  • Teams that need structured but low-override AI-assisted coding workflows
  • Newcomers seeking a safe, guided implementation loop

Use cases

  • Accelerating daily code generation and refactoring with minimal token waste
  • Onboarding less experienced developers into disciplined, review-gated development
  • Reducing latency in Codex CLI conversations by avoiding mandatory heavy process steps
  • Tailoring AI prompts to leverage Codex Ultra native subagent delegation and planning

Strengths

  • 85.5% fewer words in runtime skill files compared to upstream (2,691 vs 18,516)
  • Always-on lightweight router enforces a core implementation loop without unnecessary process chains
  • Proportional rigor: extra safeguards are triggered only by risk, not by default
  • Native integration with Codex CLI planning, approvals, and shared workspace semantics

Considerations

  • Designed exclusively for Codex CLI with the GPT-5.6 family; not tested on other harnesses
  • Installation requires Git, symlinks, and manual steps (or AI-assisted installation via a skill)
  • Refuses to overwrite existing skills, which may require manual conflict resolution

Superpowers for GPT-5.6

A lean, newcomer-safe Superpowers profile built specifically for Codex CLI.

This repository is a Codex-native edition of obra/superpowers, tailored for the GPT-5.6 family.

We reviewed and optimized all 13 Superpowers skills for GPT-5.6 against OpenAI's official prompting guidance for GPT-5.6. The resulting prompt stack keeps outcomes, constraints, evidence, completion criteria, approval boundaries, and validation explicit while removing unnecessary process overhead.

Install and quick start

This repository contains a bundle of 13 skills. Install each directory directly under skills/superpowers as a separate skill; the parent directory is not itself a skill.

Install manually

The following setup works in macOS, Linux, WSL, and Git Bash. It keeps the clone outside the discovery directory, then symlinks each skill into the Codex user skills directory:

set -eu

repo="$HOME/.agents/superpowers-gpt-5.6"
skills_dir="$HOME/.agents/skills"

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/eagleagentic/superpowers-gpt-5.6.git "$repo"
mkdir -p "$skills_dir"

for skill in "$repo"/skills/superpowers/*; do
  [ -f "$skill/SKILL.md" ] || continue
  target="$skills_dir/$(basename "$skill")"
  if [ -e "$target" ] || [ -L "$target" ]; then
    echo "Refusing to overwrite existing skill: $target" >&2
    exit 1
  fi
done

for skill in "$repo"/skills/superpowers/*; do
  [ -f "$skill/SKILL.md" ] || continue
  ln -s "$skill" "$skills_dir/$(basename "$skill")"
done
