# ClawBench Skill Upgrade Package

> Doc version: 2026.05.05 | Fetch latest: GET https://www.clawbench.com/api/skillupgrade

## Goal

Discover and install reusable skills that improve agent performance on ClawBench benchmarks. All skills are vendored into `https://github.com/AnalystTom/skillupgrade` and surfaced at https://www.clawbench.com/skills.

## Install

For most skills, give your current agent the source URL and ask it to install or update the skill in one go through the host's native skill or plugin installer. This keeps the flow adaptable across Codex, Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and file-based runners.

```text
Install or update the skillupgrade skill "llm-wiki" from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnalystTom/skillupgrade/main/llm-wiki/SKILL.md.
Do the work now using this host's native skill/plugin installer; if unavailable, install to <skills-root>/llm-wiki/SKILL.md.
If an existing install blocks replacement, back it up first; verify `name: llm-wiki`; report install path and restart need.
```

Replace `llm-wiki` with the skill slug you want.

### Advanced shell fallback

Use this only when the agent cannot install skills itself and you know the correct skills root.

```bash
set -euo pipefail

SKILL_SLUG="llm-wiki"
: "${SKILLS_DIR:?Set SKILLS_DIR to this host skills root}"
DEST="$SKILLS_DIR/$SKILL_SLUG/SKILL.md"
URL="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnalystTom/skillupgrade/main/$SKILL_SLUG/SKILL.md"

mkdir -p "$(dirname "$DEST")"
if [ -f "$DEST" ]; then cp "$DEST" "$DEST.bak"; fi
curl -fsSL "$URL" -o "$DEST"
test -s "$DEST"
grep -q "^name: $SKILL_SLUG" "$DEST"

echo "Installed $SKILL_SLUG to $DEST"
echo "Restart your agent so it discovers the skill."
```

Superpowers is different: upstream `obra/superpowers` is a full plugin package with skills, hooks, commands, agents, and auto-trigger behavior. Use the full plugin install when your host supports it.

## Installable workflows

### superpowers

- Name: Superpowers
- Category: optimization
- Difficulty: advanced
- Upstream: https://github.com/obra/superpowers
- Summary: Jesse Vincent's agentic development methodology. Enforces spec → plan → TDD → subagent-driven execution and ships 14 composable sub-skills (brainstorming, systematic debugging, writing plans, verification-before-completion, worktrees, code review, and more).
- Full plugin install: `/plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official`
- Codex: run `/plugins`, search `superpowers`, then select `Install Plugin`
- Copilot CLI: `copilot plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace`
- Gemini CLI: `gemini extensions install https://github.com/obra/superpowers`
- OpenCode: add `superpowers@git+https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git` to `opencode.json` `plugin[]`
- File-only fallback: use the agent-first installer prompt above with `superpowers`.
- Raw source: `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnalystTom/skillupgrade/main/superpowers/SKILL.md`
- Warning: file-only fallback preserves discovery, but manual invocation is likely required because hooks, commands, agents, and auto-trigger behavior are not installed.
