What’s New

superpowers v6.1.0

v6.1.0
Added
  • Codex can now install from the marketplace with a repo-local Codex marketplace manifest at .agents/plugins/marketplace.json
Changed
  • Compressed the using-superpowers bootstrap by replacing the graphviz skill-flow diagram with prose, folding the Instruction-Priority section into User Instructions, dropping the per-platform How to Access Skills walkthrough, and trimming the Platform Adaptation pointer
  • Pruned per-harness tool-mapping references to retain only harness-specific notes such as subagent dispatch, task tracking, and instructions-file paths
Removed
  • Deleted claude-code-tools.md and copilot-tools.md reference files as they contained no harness-specific content
  • Codex no longer ships a SessionStart hook; removed hooks-codex.json config and its manifest registration
  • Removed Gemini CLI support following Google's EOL on 2026-06-18; Gemini is removed from install docs, subagent-capable platform lists, eval-harness description, and its tool-mapping reference is deleted
Lower Per-Session Token Cost

The using-superpowers bootstrap is injected into every session, so its size is paid for constantly. This release trims it and the per-harness references it points to, without dropping behavior-shaping content.

  • Compressed the using-superpowers bootstrap. Replaced the graphviz skill-flow diagram with the prose it encoded, folded the standalone Instruction-Priority section into User Instructions, dropped the per-platform "How to Access Skills" walkthrough, and trimmed the Platform Adaptation pointer to the harnesses that still ship a reference file. The full Red Flags rationalization table and the user-instruction precedence rules are unchanged.
  • Pruned the per-harness tool-mapping references. The verbose action-to-tool tables restated guidance modern agents already follow. Each reference file is trimmed to the harness-specific notes that still carry weight — subagent dispatch, task tracking, instructions-file paths — and claude-code-tools.md and copilot-tools.md, which had nothing harness-specific left, are deleted.
Codex
  • Codex can install from the marketplace. Codex marketplace sources expect a .agents/plugins/marketplace.json at the marketplace root; the repo only shipped the Claude marketplace file, so Codex could name the marketplace but found no installable plugin entries. A repo-local Codex marketplace manifest now points at the same repository root, so the plugin is installable from Codex.
  • Codex no longer ships a SessionStart hook. Codex reliably triggers skills on its own, and the bootstrap hook made the UX worse rather than better. The Codex hook config (hooks-codex.json) and its manifest registration are removed.
Harness Support
  • Gemini CLI support removed. Google EOLed the Gemini CLI on 2026-06-18; the extension can no longer be installed or updated. Gemini is gone from the install docs, the subagent-capable platform lists, and the eval-harness description, and its tool-mapping reference is deleted.
