Superpowers

Multi-step AI workflows that chain different models together. Each step can use a different model tier, automatically routing to the fastest model that can handle it.

| Command | Description | | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | /review <path> | Code review with security, performance, and style analysis | | /pr | Generate PR description from staged/committed changes | | /refactor <file> | Guided refactoring with analysis and implementation | | /debug <issue> | Step-by-step debugging: reproduce, analyze, fix | | /explain <path> | Deep dive explanation of code architecture | | /test <file> | Generate comprehensive test suite |

Custom Superpowers

Define workflows in .10x/superpowers/ or ~/.config/10x/superpowers/:

---
name: debug
trigger: /debug
---

## Step 1: Understand (model: fast)

{{input}} - Find and read the relevant code.

## Step 2: Fix (model: smart)

Based on {{previous}}, implement a fix.
