Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned obra/superpowers at 8ca22dba9a.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows an AI agent to take a plan, broken down into sequential steps, and execute those steps. It can handle plans with dependencies between steps, ensuring they are completed in the correct order. The agent will report progress on each step and indicate when the entire plan is complete.

When to use it

  • Automated workflows: Execute a series of tasks like onboarding a new employee or processing an insurance claim.
  • Complex project management: Break down large projects into manageable steps and have the AI agent execute them sequentially.
  • Procedural generation: Implement game logic or create content by executing a predefined plan of actions.
  • Research tasks: Execute a series of research queries, data analysis, and report writing steps in a defined order.

Key capabilities

  • Sequential step execution
  • Dependency management between steps
  • Progress reporting on individual steps
  • Plan completion indication

Example prompts

  • "Execute the plan: 1. Research competitor pricing. 2. Draft marketing copy. 3. Schedule social media posts."
  • "Follow this plan to create a presentation: [plan details]"
  • “Run through these steps in order and tell me when you're done: [detailed step list]”

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the plan provided directly impacts the skill’s effectiveness. Ensure plans are clear, concise, and logically ordered for optimal results.
