About
Superpower is a Codex plugin that functions as an embedded AI product manager. Instead of jumping straight into coding, Superpower guides developers through a structured requirements-gathering process — it asks clarifying questions about core goals, target users, feature priorities, and technical constraints, then produces a comprehensive development plan covering workflow design, technical stack recommendations, core features, and milestone breakdowns. For solo developers and small teams, Superpower fills the critical gap between 'I have an idea' and 'I know exactly what to build,' preventing wasted effort from building the wrong thing. It integrates directly into Codex's chat interface, making product management a natural part of the development workflow rather than a separate process.
