The original title is "Superpowers vs Agent Skills vs Pocock: Three Philosophies of AI Coding Workflows"

Short summary

A detailed comparison of three AI coding-agent workflow frameworks — Superpowers by Jesse Vincent, Agent Skills by Addy Osmani, and Matt Pocock's Skills — that encode engineering process into structured markdown instructions agents follow. Superpowers emphasizes deep upfront reasoning with subagent-driven TDD pipelines; Agent Skills covers the full SDLC with 24 skills across six phases including adversarial guards. All three address the core problem that AI agents optimize for speed over process discipline.

• •Three frameworks (Superpowers, Agent Skills, Pocock Skills) encode engineering process into markdown instructions for AI coding agents
• •Superpowers uses a strict 6-stage pipeline with subagent dispatch and enforced TDD; Agent Skills spans 24 skills across the full SDLC
• •All three solve the same root cause: AI agents default to shortest-path output, skipping specs, tests, and security review
