Why switch from Superpowers?
The most-starred skills project (~300k GitHub stars) with ~3.5M skills.sh installs across 15 skills, and official installs for a dozen agents. It is opinionated (it slows the agent down to plan and test) and long autonomous runs still need review, so vibe and quality are not maxed.
The alternatives in detail
Best for: Builders who want sharper plans and cleaner code from their agent without handing it a whole rigid process
Best for: Anyone who wants one command to find and install agent skills across every coding agent they use
Best for: Vibe coders shipping React or Next.js apps on Vercel who want their agent to catch slow, inaccessible or sloppy UI code
Best for: Anyone building on Supabase whose agent writes leaky RLS policies, slow queries or broken auth flows
Best for: Claude Code users who want better-looking frontends (frontend-design) or to write their own skills (skill-creator)
Best for: Vibe coders who want Claude Code to stop forgetting context and stop shipping broken changes
Best for: Teams standardizing agent skills across several coding agents
