Superpowers feels like 20 years ago when people would be sharing and debating their incredibly elaborate .vimrc files, which totally made them super productive. Meanwhile, I tried to stick to stock configuration as much as possible (mostly for portability / ssh reasons). In a similar vein, these days some of my colleagues are sharing all their skills and prompt tricks and stuff, and I try to just use barebones Claude…

100% Also good to note that Cherny and Steipete have said in interviews that they keep it simple and do not use any of these shenanigans.

They also have the superpower of having unlimited tokens and effectively unmetered budgets (I remember a thread discussing about Steipete spending $1.3M in tokens in a month [1]), and being able to practically bruteforce anything to life.

I’m a big fan of the Compound Engineering plugin from Every. As an amateur developer it helps me brainstorm, plan and implement apps very well. https://github.com/everyinc/compound-engineering-plugin

I've been using Compound Engineering for the past few months too, but now that I'm seeing mention of how Superpowers consumes a lot of tokens and context, I wonder if Compound Engineering does the same.

I often end my Claude Opus 1M sessions at around 60-80% context, and that's with doing `/context` once in a while, and forcing the agent to wrap up and write handover notes, so that I can start on a new unit with fresh context.

That’s a good point
