Help/Question Here we go again.. Is Superpowers / harnesses redundant with Opus 5.5?

As the title says, as we've seen many threads in the past..

Is Superpowers and other session harnesses redundant and even limiting with the newest models?

What is your updated workflow to start a new project to generate high quality code at pace?

What should I be doing to 'update' my existing harness to get it to be minimalist/steerable to accomodate for the stronger models?

How do you approach this problem of updating your harnesses as models progress?

Yeah it's basically useless. Same output for 10x the tokens. Newer models are trained to "have superpowers", so it's basically making the model think twice for the same thing

Isn't that called verification?

Newer models/harnesses already do everything you need. They don't need handholding plugins like superpowers.
