superpowers v6.3.0

v6.3.0
Added 3
  • Devin CLI support to install superpowers via `devin plugins install obra/superpowers` with skills auto-triggering at session start
  • Hermes Agent support to install from git clone with skills registering to Hermes' native loader and bootstrap loading on first turn
  • Grok Build CLI added to install documentation
Changed 10
  • Ceremony now scales to the task by classifying requests as spike, bounded, or architectural, with small tasks skipping the two-document ritual
  • Controllers no longer stall on plan conflicts; non-catastrophic conflicts get a recorded ruling and work continues while only destructive or irreversible actions stop for human approval
  • Pre-dispatch conflict scan records its checks in the ledger instead of just asserting the plan is clean
  • Small same-shape tasks batch into one dispatch, cutting subagent cost on micro-task plans
  • Implementers and reviewers may not spawn their own subagents to prevent duplicate reviews
  • Plans carry a Spec pointer and SDD reads the spec at setup so plan conflicts get resolved against the design
Fixed 3
  • render-graphs.js in writing-skills now works on Windows
  • Corrected Copilot CLI backgrounding guidance for Windows
  • bump-version.sh now covers the Hermes manifest
Harness Support
  • Devin CLI: devin plugins install obra/superpowers now works, and skills auto-trigger at session start. (#1995)
  • Hermes Agent: install from a git clone; skills register with Hermes' native loader and the bootstrap loads on the first turn. (#1922, #2025)
  • Grok Build CLI added to the install docs. (#1919)
Brainstorming
  • Ceremony now scales to the task. Requests are classified as spike, bounded, or architectural; small tasks skip the two-document ritual. Every path still stops for your approval before implementation. (#2063)
Subagent-Driven Development
  • Controllers no longer stall on plan conflicts. Non-catastrophic conflicts and ambiguities get a recorded ruling and work continues; only destructive or irreversible actions still stop for a human. One donated session had sat blocked for almost nine hours on a question the controller could have decided. (#2077)
  • The pre-dispatch conflict scan records its checks in the ledger instead of just asserting the plan is clean. (#2080)
  • Small same-shape tasks batch into one dispatch, cutting subagent cost sharply on micro-task plans; batch reviews verify every file in the brief made it into the diff. (#2078)
  • Implementers and reviewers may not spawn their own subagents, which was producing duplicate reviews. (#2059)
  • Plans carry a Spec: pointer and SDD reads the spec at setup, so plan conflicts get resolved against the design instead of guessed at. (#2086)
  • Reviewers re-read evidence they find illegible instead of re-running the test suite (#2089), and circuit-breaker rulings now show up in the Finish report.
Codex
  • Subagent waits are event-driven instead of poll-heavy, spawns pin model and reasoning effort explicitly, and the multi-agent reference is corrected against Codex source. (#2060, #2061, #2062)
Finishing a Development Branch
  • Worktree removal no longer destroys untracked files. When git worktree remove refuses because the tree holds uncommitted work, the skill stops, names the files, and asks — instead of reaching for --force. (#2016, #1223, #2024)
Fixes
  • render-graphs.js in writing-skills works on Windows.
  • Corrected Copilot CLI backgrounding guidance for Windows. (#1929, #2006)
  • bump-version.sh covers the Hermes manifest.
Documentation
  • README: added a table of contents and reorganized Getting Started.
