Before you install Superpowers
You need Claude Code available on your computer. Open Terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt and run:
claude --versionIf you see a Claude Code version, continue below. If the command is not found, install Claude Code from Anthropic's official setup page first.
The installer on this site does not replace Claude Code. It uses the existing Claude CLI to request the Superpowers plugin from the official marketplace.
Method 1: download the Claude Superpowers installer
This is the easiest option if you want the installation journey to start directly from ClaudeSuperpowers.com.
Windows
Download the CMD installer, open it, and let Claude Code install the plugin to your user scope.
Download Windows installerNo admin rights requested by the script.macOS / Linux
Download the shell installer and run it with Bash from your Downloads folder.
Download shell installerRun withbash ~/Downloads/install-superpowers-mac-linux.shMethod 2: install Superpowers with one CLI command
Claude Code supports non-interactive plugin management. For a normal personal installation, run:
claude plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official --scope userThe user scope makes the plugin available across your projects. You can also choose a project or local scope if that better matches your setup.
claude plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official --scope userMethod 3: install inside an interactive Claude Code session
If Claude Code is already open, use the slash-command form:
/plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-officialVerify the Claude Superpowers plugin
First, list installed plugins:
claude plugin listThen start a fresh Claude Code session in a real project and try a request such as:
Help me plan this feature before writing code. Ask the questions you need, propose the design, and wait for the plan to be clear before implementation.
Update Superpowers later
claude plugin update superpowers@claude-plugins-official --scope userUninstall Superpowers
claude plugin uninstall superpowers@claude-plugins-official --scope userIf you installed the plugin at project or local scope, use that same scope when removing it.
Alternative upstream marketplace
The Superpowers project also publishes its own marketplace. This is useful when you intentionally want the upstream distribution route rather than the Claude official marketplace.
claude plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplaceclaude plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace --scope userPlugins can contain skills, hooks, agents, and other components. Review sources you install. The installers offered here are short text scripts and use Claude Code's marketplace install command instead of shipping a modified Superpowers package.
