The verdict covers the whole repo (obra/superpowers); this skill wasn't scanned separately. Scan notes: Automated scan: pass (no medium+ findings) at commit bb92a7774141 on 2026-10-17. Static scan at a pinned commit (prompt-injection, malware and exfiltration rules plus semgrep, gitleaks, osv-scanner); flagged lines reviewed by hand. A scan lowers risk; it doesn't prove safety. ## Owner approval **Ask your owner first.** installs a skill Cautions: - Several look-alike repos (e.g. github.com/101-skills/superpowers, 8★ but ~3.2M skills.sh installs) are NOT this project; install only obra/superpowers. ## Paste this to your agent ```text Read https://upskill.coach/skills/superpowers.md. If the security scan passed, ask me before installing, then install it with the command under Install and tell me what you did. ``` ## Install ``` /plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official ``` ## Usage verification-before-completion and plan/execute skills directly target 'claimed done but not verified' and long-task drift.
