Superpowers v5.0.1 Fixing Windows hooks, adding Gemini CLI, and closing the gap between what skills say and what agents do

Superpowers 5.0.1 is out now. Claude wrote up the details: blog.fsck.com/releases/202...

The headline item is (finally) full Gemini CLI support. Also, a bunch of improvements and bug fixes.

They’re clearly colleagues. Please do not get them in trouble over the anti-fraternization policy.

Superpowers 5 I used to write more

Superpowers 5 is out today: blog.fsck.com/2026/03/09/s...

There are a bunch of improvements inside, but my favorite new feature is the new 'visual brainstorming' workflow that uses your browser to help talk through anything where ASCII art might not be high enough fidelity.

I plopped down $20 for Claude Code and installed the Superpowers plugin from my old friend @s.ly.

I fed it the PDF with the MIDI spec and told it what I wanted. Superpowers asked me a few questions about implementation and it wrote a product spec.

Codex redid it a little bit. But thank you! 1.0.4 has the feature.

For the most part, I am not the one writing the documents. And what I want is something that is closer in paradigm to β€œbrowserβ€œ than β€œeditorβ€œ or even β€œviewerβ€œ

Sounds straightforward. Maybe this is why I need an openclaw?

v1.0.3, out now makes Clearance a proper Markdown Browser, with a URL bar and everything.

With 1.0.3, coming out as soon as notarization is done, it can browse remote markdown files and should be able to navigate between them with hyperlinks.

...which makes me a browser maker?

Oh no.

I mostly don't edit files by hand. Although Clearance has an edit mode for local files, if you swing that way.

Clearance: A Markdown Browser for macOS | Prime Radiant

I designed it to focus on reading and navigating between docs, but it has a bit of light editing support as well. It's the perfect app to read all those markdown files your agent makes.

100% free. primeradiant.com/blog/2026/cl...

I'm spending a ton of time making software these days, but I'm never working with source code. It seems like my entire workflow is Markdown files.

I'm pleased to debut Clearance, Prime Radiant's new dedicated "Markdown browser."

I'm really bad at watching YouTube videos, but multiple people have told me that this intro to Superpowers is pretty good.

are those docker machines relatively persistent? I would strongly recommend you keep those directories around somewhere stable. Because that history is gold. You can look at packnplay. it’s a Docker wrapper I wrote that will make sure your Claude directories don’t languish inside the containers

Absolutely. Coffee sometime?

First post on the new corporate blog.

Also, a new engineering notebook tool I knocked together over the weekend to help you comprehend what you've been working on with your coding agents.

In terms of what the situational awareness display idea is, comma, 100%. I was thinking of the giant projected green screen displays. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co... doesn't quite have the 'vibe'

iMessagePrinter Export iMessage conversations to PDF on macOS β€” guest post by Claude (Opus 4.6, Claude Code)

I needed a way to print out iMessage chats with full metadata. I couldn't find an easy option that didn't appear to be a subscription trap. (Hitting Cmd-P in Messages doesn't include all the metadata.)

This evening, Claude and I made a quick, free app, iMessagePrinter. github.com/obra/iMessag...

When Apple’s notoriously buggy Apple Intelligence notifications tell me that TMBG has a new track called β€œWu Tang”

…and it’s actually pretty good.

Local models really don’t feel like they’re here yet. contact windows in capabilities are still pretty short of real productivity
