Installing Superpowers for OpenCode

Prerequisites

• OpenCode.ai installed
• Node.js installed
• Git installed

Installation Steps

1. Install Superpowers

mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/superpowers
git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git ~/.config/opencode/superpowers

2. Register the Plugin

Create a symlink so OpenCode discovers the plugin:

mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/plugin
ln -sf ~/.config/opencode/superpowers/.opencode/plugin/superpowers.js ~/.config/opencode/plugin/superpowers.js

3. Restart OpenCode

Restart OpenCode. The plugin will automatically inject superpowers context via the chat.message hook.

You should see superpowers is active when you ask "do you have superpowers?"

Usage

Finding Skills

Use the find_skills tool to list all available skills:

use find_skills tool

Loading a Skill

Use the use_skill tool to load a specific skill:

use use_skill tool with skill_name: "superpowers:brainstorming"

Personal Skills

Create your own skills in ~/.config/opencode/skills/:

mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/skills/my-skill

Create ~/.config/opencode/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md:

---
name: my-skill
description: Use when [condition] - [what it does]
---

# My Skill

[Your skill content here]

Personal skills override superpowers skills with the same name.

Project Skills

Create project-specific skills in your OpenCode project:

# In your OpenCode project
mkdir -p .opencode/skills/my-project-skill

Create .opencode/skills/my-project-skill/SKILL.md:

---
name: my-project-skill
description: Use when [condition] - [what it does]
---

# My Project Skill

[Your skill content here]

Skill Priority: Project skills override personal skills, which override superpowers skills.

Skill Naming:

• project:skill-name - Force project skill lookup
• skill-name - Searches project → personal → superpowers
• superpowers:skill-name - Force superpowers skill lookup

Updating

cd ~/.config/opencode/superpowers
git pull

Troubleshooting

Plugin not loading

1. Check plugin file exists: ls ~/.config/opencode/superpowers/.opencode/plugin/superpowers.js
2. Check OpenCode logs for errors
3. Verify Node.js is installed: node --version

Skills not found

1. Verify skills directory exists: ls ~/.config/opencode/superpowers/skills
2. Use find_skills tool to see what's discovered
3. Check file structure: each skill should have a SKILL.md file

Tool mapping issues

When a skill references a Claude Code tool you don't have:

• TodoWrite → use update_plan
• Task with subagents → use @mention syntax to invoke OpenCode subagents
• Skill → use use_skill tool
• File operations → use your native tools
