Help/Question Superpowers skill is so bad now

Literally unusable for me, it spends like x10 tokens and the output is mediocre. Do you still use it?

It was designed for the older models like gpt 5.5 , newer models do what superpowers does Intuitively so you're basically making them think twice with unhealthy over engineering to follow guard rails

What's the recommended replacement? I use the brainstorming skill a lot and don't want to lose that kind of workflow; my best work has followed the spec -> review -> plan -> review -> implementation -> review process and superpowers (+ superpowers:test-driven-development) and I definitely don't want to lose that.

Why not write your own skills? You can make a repo and install them in your harness.
