About this skill

An agentic skills framework that hands your coding agent a complete software development methodology: brainstorm intent, write a plan, drive with tests, and verify before claiming done. It runs entirely on your machine inside the agent and edits code, runs tests, and opens PRs with your normal permissions. The only outbound touch is an optional logo image on a local brainstorming companion you have to approve first, and it can be disabled.

What it does

Run automatically at the start of every session to inject its own usage guide into context
Read files in your project and across the coding agent's workspace
Write and edit files, and run shell/git commands as the coding agent (run tests, create branches/worktrees, commit, open PRs, merge)
Start a local-only brainstorming web companion on 127.0.0.1 (opt-in, only after you approve), protected by a per-session random token
Show a Superpowers logo in that companion page, which makes your browser load one image from primeradiant.com (can be disabled)
Send your code, files, or any personal data off your device
Read your secrets, API keys, .env files, cloud credentials, or environment tokens
Connect to Gmail, Slack, Notion, calendars, or any external account/connector
Run with elevated privileges, sudo, or escalate beyond your own user
Auto-open a browser or expose the companion to the network without your explicit approval
