Skills

SlashForge ships every discipline skill the workflow uses. No plugin is required, and none is checked for.

SlashForge ships its own discipline skills. They install with the package, live under the slashforge: namespace, and are always available — no plugin, no marketplace, nothing to add.

The superpowers plugin used to be a preflight gate: every command stopped, checked for it, and warned about degraded mode if it was missing. That is no longer the case. SlashForge needs no plugin at all — every discipline the workflow uses ships with it.

What ships with SlashForge

Phases 3, 8 and 10 use no skill — they are user gates and git operations the workflow handles directly.

Three skills carry names worth distinguishing: slashforge:request-review gets your own work reviewed before it ships, slashforge:review-feedback handles comments you received, and the /slashforge:review-pr command reviews someone else’s pull request.

All nine are adapted from superpowers under the MIT licence, © 2025 Jesse Vincent. Each file carries the notice, because skills install into ~/.claude/ detached from this repo.

Do you need the superpowers plugin?

No. As of v4.3.0 nothing in SlashForge invokes it, checks for it, or behaves differently when it is present. There is no preflight, no prompt, and no degraded mode, because there is nothing to degrade.

Installing it anyway

/plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official

It is a good library in its own right and covers ground SlashForge does not — writing skills, condition-based waiting, defence in depth. Install it because you want those, not because SlashForge needs it.

Keeping it current

Re-run the installer to pull updated skills and guides:

npx slashforge

Graphify

Graphify is the other optional integration, and works differently — a one-time setup-time offer inside /slashforge:setup rather than a per-command check. Once installed, its own hook surfaces graph context automatically.
