Internal SmartGift build of a Claude Code monitoring dashboard. Lanes: a durable unit of parallel agent work, one per working directory, tracked across session restarts. Managed lanes are git worktrees the dashboard provisions and can reset or remove behind a three-check destroy guard and a counted preflight; adopted lanes are directories you already own and are never destroyable. Pipelines: a lane moves through pipeline stages. A stage the agent declares with evidence renders green; a stage inferred from the tool-event stream renders dashed amber and never counts as done. Detection is forward-only within a 30-minute window, and never writes the declared stage. Workspace: one page at /run with a lane grid, the selected lane's pipeline, and a full Claude console behind a disclosure.

Superpowers Workspace
This directory contains project-specific configuration and artifacts for the Superpowers workflow.
It acts as the working memory layer for agent-driven development, enabling structured planning, execution, and iteration across sessions.
Purpose
Superpowers transforms coding agents into structured, process-driven collaborators. Instead of jumping straight into code, the agent:
- Clarifies intent
- Produces a design
- Breaks work into executable steps
- Executes via subagents
- Verifies and iterates
This directory stores the outputs of that workflow so progress is persistent, inspectable, and reproducible.
Directory Structure
Typical contents may include:
.superpowers/
├── brainstorm/ # Design explorations and refined specs
├── plans/ # Task breakdowns and execution plans
├── reviews/ # Code review outputs and feedback
├── runs/ # Execution logs or agent traces
└── README.md # This file
Exact structure may evolve depending on which skills are triggered.
Workflow Overview
Superpowers operates through automatic skill activation:
1. Brainstorming
- Refines vague ideas into concrete specs
- Explores alternatives
- Produces structured, reviewable design docs
2. Planning
-
Converts approved designs into granular tasks
-
Each task is:
- Small (2–5 min)
- Explicit (exact file paths + code)
- Verifiable
3. Execution
-
Tasks are executed by subagents
-
Includes:
- Spec compliance checks
- Code quality review
-
Can run sequentially or in parallel
4. Verification
- Enforces test-first development (TDD)
- Ensures correctness before completion
- Prevents silent regressions
5. Completion
- Validates final state
- Offers merge / PR / discard options
- Cleans up working branches
Key Principles
- Test-first development (RED → GREEN → REFACTOR)
- Small, deterministic tasks
- Explicit over implicit
- Process over intuition
- Verification over assumption
How to Use
You don’t interact with this directory directly most of the time.
Instead:
- Start a task in your coding agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
- Let Superpowers skills activate automatically
- Review outputs when prompted (designs, plans, reviews)
Artifacts will be written here as the workflow progresses.
When to Look Here
Check this directory when you want to:
- Review the current plan
- Inspect prior design decisions
- Debug agent behavior
- Resume interrupted work
- Audit what was executed
Notes
- Files here are source-of-truth for agent state
- Safe to commit (recommended for team workflows)
- Avoid manual edits unless you understand the workflow implications
