What is it?
superpowers-zh is a set of workflow skills that teach AI coding assistants how to approach software work: brainstorming requirements before coding, writing plans, test-driven development, systematic debugging, code review, and verification before claiming a task is done. It is a Chinese translation of the upstream English superpowers project, with its skills kept in step with upstream releases.
Beyond the 15 translated skills, the project adds four skills aimed at Chinese developers, covering code review norms for domestic teams, Git workflows for Gitee, Coding, GitLab and CNB, Chinese technical documentation typesetting, and commit message conventions. It also restores two skills (mcp-builder and workflow-runner) that upstream has since removed.
The npx installer detects which supported tool a project uses and places the skills in the right directory, with a global mode for installing once across all projects. Supported tools include Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Trae, Qoder, CodeBuddy, and many others.
Key features
- 01Fifteen translated workflow skills covering brainstorming, planning, TDD, debugging, and code review.
- 02Four China-specific skills for code review, Git workflows on domestic platforms, Chinese documentation, and commit conventions.
- 03An npx installer that detects the AI coding tool in use and installs skills to its directory.
- 04Global install mode that makes skills available across all projects.
- 05Support for 26 AI coding tools, including Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Codex CLI.
- 06Git and CI examples for Gitee, Coding, GitLab, CNB, and GitHub Actions.
Use cases
- Giving an AI coding assistant a disciplined process of requirements, plans, tests, and verification before it writes code.
- Setting up consistent AI-assisted development across a team that uses several different AI coding tools.
- Running a Chinese-language team's code review and Git workflow on Gitee, Coding, or CNB.
- Writing Chinese technical documentation with consistent typesetting and mixed Chinese-English conventions.
Quick start
- 1
Go to your project directory
cd /your/project - 2
Install the skills into the project with npm
npx superpowers-zh
Things to know
- Project-level install must not be run in the home directory; global install is the option for all projects.
- Most skills are translations of the upstream project, and four skills are China-specific additions.
- Some tools only support project-level install, so --global will prompt to use project-level for them.
