These past two days, I took another careful look at Superpowers, and this time I truly understood why many people end up unable to continue using it.
Its process design is very complete. It starts from vague ideas and goes through a long chain of steps including brainstorming, design confirmation, and more. At almost every point where an Agent might slack off, it has already placed a gate in advance.
This is a well-structured engineering philosophy that works excellently for tasks requiring full engineering governance. However, in daily development, there are many short, quick demands. Often, people are even too lazy to write proper prompts. For these tiny tasks, just going through the full process once takes considerable time and gives a feeling of being pushed along.
In small-task scenarios, the grill-me plugin—which doesn’t try to take over the entire development process—feels more suitable. It only repeatedly asks questions at the points it considers critical, forcing out ambiguities hidden in a single requirement and a series of other potential risks one by one.
