beads-superpowers
A plugin for AI coding agents with 22 skills that enforce development practices — TDD, systematic debugging, design-before-code, code review — and a persistent issue tracker that remembers context across sessions.
The skills come from Superpowers by Jesse Vincent; the tracker from Beads by Steve Yegge. This plugin wires them together so skills create and close issues as they run, and the tracker feeds context back into each new session.
Verified on Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode. Best-effort native support for Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI, Kimi Code, Antigravity, Factory Droid, and Pi. See Getting Started for install paths by platform.
New to Beads itself?
The upstream Beads documentation covers the tool in depth — concepts, CLI reference, recovery. This site documents the merged workflow built on top of it.
