Install it
systematic-debugging comes with the rest of Superpowers.
The commands below are for AI coding tools like Claude Code, which work with files on your computer. They won't do anything typed into a ChatGPT or Claude chat in your browser. Don't have a coding tool yet? Install Claude Code first.
Use the box for the tool you have, and copy its commands. Lines that start with / go in the tool's chat box. Other lines go in Terminal, the app where you type commands to your computer. A plugin is a bundle of skills made for one tool, and a marketplace is the list the tool installs it from.
Copied from the pack's own install instructions.

- brainstormingAsks what you actually want, then plays the design back for your approval before any code is written. It starts by itself when you begin something new.
- writing-plansTurns an approved design into small tasks, each with the files to change and how to check it worked.
- subagent-driven-developmentHands each task of the plan to a fresh helper agent and reviews its work before moving on, so long runs don't drift.
