marten-superpower
Personal feature-development workflow chain for Martin Westphal. Extends the
upstream superpowers plugin with two
mandatory new phases: research and review, each backed by parallel
subagents.
What it does
Provides a single orchestrator skill (marten-workflow) that chains seven
phases for any non-trivial feature, refactor, or idea exploration:
- Brainstorm —
superpowers:brainstorming
- Research —
marten-superpower:research-phase (new)
- Plan —
superpowers:writing-plans
- Worktree —
superpowers:using-git-worktrees
- Execute —
superpowers:executing-plans
- Review —
marten-superpower:review-phase (new)
- Finish —
superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch
The two new phases enforce Martin's global rules:
- Research phase: dispatches ≥2 parallel subagents per topic, web +
codebase, Chrome MCP banned, produces
research-report.md.
- Review phase: runs
codex:adversarial-review plus parallel
code-reviewer and security-review subagents, fixes in-scope blockers,
logs out-of-scope findings to KNOWN_ISSUES.md.
Requirements
superpowers plugin installed (this
plugin invokes its skills)codex plugin installed and codex-companion.mjs allow-listed in
.claude/settings.local.json- Built-in
code-reviewer and security-review agents/skills available
Installation
# Local install for development
cc --plugin-dir /Users/marten/Code/agents/marten-superpower
Or symlink/copy into your plugins directory.
Usage
The orchestrator skill auto-triggers on phrases like:
- "Let's build / add / implement X"
- "I have a new idea for Y"
- "Brainstorm Z"
- "Refactor A"
- "Fix bug B" (non-trivial)
It exempts trivial edits (single-line tweaks, typo fixes, comment-only
changes).
