After seeing some hype around it, I decided to give it a shot. Implemented 2 full features with it and then uninstalled. I found that it:

  • dramatically increased instances of both overengineering and underengineering, obviously this happened sometimes with vanilla Claude too but “superpowered” Claude felt genuinely incapable of self-calibration
  • took over the vanilla planning flow and replaced it with a worse version: it asked a ton of questions (even for very small features) and most of them were pretty obvious questions with one option clearly better than the others. Vanilla Claude asks more probing questions that actually make me think about the implementation or design
  • enforces its own workflow rather than letting me use mine. Random git commits when I didn’t tell it to, spawning worktrees constantly, etc With all the hype I was honestly pretty surprised. I mostly use Claude for solo projects, maybe superpowers is better for enterprise? Idk, let me know if I’m crazy here or what submitted by /u/Tunisandwich
