Skills are plain text instructions the agent follows, sometimes with scripts. Check the source, prefer repositories with many installs and stars, and read any script it ships.

Install

npx skills add obra/superpowers@receiving-code-review

Runs in a terminal with Node.js 18 or newer. Add -y to skip the prompts and -g to install for every project instead of this one.

Install for your agent

npx skills add obra/superpowers@receiving-code-review --agent claude-code -y
Project install writes to
.claude/skills/receiving-code-review
Global install writes to
~/.claude/skills/receiving-code-review

Start a new session afterwards so the agent picks the skill up. In Claude Code you can also call it directly with /receiving-code-review.
