Also can't believe vacuous is not there.

Yes, Superpowers is just a set of (agent agnostic) skills that you can use in any harness.

Those exist and they're called orchestration skill frameworks like Superpowers, GetShitDone, etc.

I burned though $50 on OpenRouter in three days, this is with selective model routing based on tasks/strict AGENTS.md. A Claude 20x sub running Sonnet 5/Opus 5 and light Fable usage gets me through the month. It wasn't even close even though I wish it were.

Paseo and other agent harnesses can let you work across model providers as well.

Don't even need bars, "subsidies" are just another word for redistribution.

The complicit parties of climate change are so wide you would probably have to try thousands and thousands of people across most of the developed world. The cohort is probably so large that it’s more a reflection of society generally than the malicious acts of a few.

They probably were presented with huge comp packages which made bending ethics incredibly easy.

I am in the completely same boat as you and completely agree that you need to “give into it” more to get the most out of superpowers. I gain so much confidence out of the actual process and all of the adversarial reviews, re-reviews, refinement, etc.

Because it’s Jack Dorsey and that’s it. I agree it’s not novel or interesting. It’s frustrating for me particularly because I want some kind of widely decentralized network but something that actually has a chance to work, which Dorsey has the capability (financially, connections, etc) to make happen. Instead he decides to waste time on something that’s DOA.

This has been a story, age as old as time. How many times have startup founders been told "you're a feature" or "Google/Meta/etc can copy you so fast". Operators just need to stay vigilant of their value add, or they never really had a moat in the first place and were living on borrowed time anyway.

It sounds like your concept of “minor” may be calibrated too high. Kids need to test boundaries to learn limits. They need to learn limits to live safely while understanding their actual capabilities. This involves getting hurt sometimes. Is it fun? No. Do you learn a lesson almost every time? Yes. This is the compounding that actually matters.

Moreso they are interested in the phone because we are but I don't necessary sense frustration. Especially if you are "attentive" in that you are willing to context switch back to your kids immediately, I think they see it as another "thing" like a toy or some distraction outside.

Using the Claude "superpowers" skill will downgrade models automatically, using Sonnet and Haiku for trivial things.
