Opus 5.5 - is the Superpowers skill still needed?
A user of Opus 5.5, who has been using the Superpowers skill since early this year, is questioning its continued necessity for coding, particularly for an app with backend and multiple frontends. While appreciating Superpowers' structure in debugging and brainstorming, the user, whose background is in product management and lacks coding skills, wonders if it might now be hindering Opus 5.5. The user primarily uses Claude for tickets rather than pure vibecoding and is seeking opinions on whether others still use Superpowers.

I've been using Opus 5.5 for a few days now and I am super happy with it. I have the Superpowers skill installed since early this year and was wondering -- is it still needed for (vibe)coding?
I am working on an app with a backend and several frontends. Nothing complicated but it has some security implications. Claude works off tickets I create for it (or it creates for itself), it is not pure vibecoding per se, but I do not check the code (do not have the skills for it, my background is in product management).
I appreciate the structure in debugging issues and extra brainstorming steps Superpowers bring, but am wondering if it might be hindering Opus 5.5 too much at the moment.
TLDR: Do you still use superpowers?
