OpenSkills, adding Claude Skills and Superpowers for any agent or IDE

Superpowers is a complete software development workflow for your coding agents, built on top of a set of composable "skills" and some initial instructions that make sure your agent uses them.

I've found this one, and it's pretty nice, it's basically an npm for skills, rules and agents.md cross platform 🤩
PRPM

My favourite is:
https://prpm.dev/collections/superpowers

but Marcos, this is only for claude code 😞
NOPE, you can install it like

npm install -g prpm
prpm install collections/superpowers
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then you should use it as shown in this img below.

Under the hood, prpm uses the OpenSkills library and progressive disclosure via AGENTS.md to allow Cursor to load skills as needed or upon request 🥳

I'm that guy whom don't want to add new packages


Oh, I see haha
If you don't want to add a new package, you can do:

Simplified OpenSkills Setup

You can easily make this available globally without introducing an extra package manager, as I currently do this manually with OpenSkills.

Install OpenSkills globally using your preferred package manager (Bun, npm, or yarn):

bun add -g openskills
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install the desired skills (e.g., obra/superpowers) globally. You'll be prompted to select specific skills; pressing Enter installs all of them:

openskills install obra/superpowers --universal --global
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Sync Skills to a Project

In the terminal of each project where you want to use these skills, run the sync command: openskills sync

This command updates the project's agents.md file. You can then edit agents.md to remove any skills you don't need, or alternatively, set this up as a Cursor rule. Once synced, the skills will be ready for use in your chats.

Enjoy and happy coding/vibing haha 🍻
