This is what I do with the obra/superpowers[0] set of skills.

1. Use brainstorming to come up with the plan using the Socratic method

2. Write a high level design plan to file

3. I review the design plan

4. Write an implementation plan to file. We've already discussed this in detail, so usually it just needs skimming.

5. Use the worktree skill with subagent driven development skill

6. Agent does the work using subagents that for each task:

  a. Implements the task

  b. Spec reviews the completed task

  c. Code reviews the completed task

7. When all tasks complete: create a PR for me to review

8. Go back to the agent with any comments

9. If finished, delete the plan files and merge the PR

If you’ve ever desired the ability for annotating the plan more visually, try fitting Plannotator in this workflow. There is a slash command for use when you use custom workflows outside of normal plan mode.

I'll give this a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

The crowd around this pot shows how superficial is knowledge about claude code. It gets releases each day and most of this is already built in the vanilla version. Not to mention subagent working in work trees, memory.md, plan on which you can comment directly from the interface, subagents launched in research phase, but also some basic mcp's like LSP/IDE integration, and context7 to not to be stuck in the knowledge cutoff/past.

When you go to YouTube and search for stuff like "7 levels of claude code" this post would be maybe 3-4.

Oh, one more thing - quality is not consistent, so be ready for 2-3 rounds of "are you happy with the code you wrote" and defining audit skills crafted for your application domain - like for example RODO/Compliance audit etc.

I'm using the in-built features as well, but I like the flow that I have with superpowers. You've made a lot of assumptions with your comment that are just not true (at least for me).

I find that brainstorming + (executing plans OR subagent driven development) is way more reliable than the built-in tooling.
