obra/superpowers scores grade C, 65 of 100.
Over-engineering is what costs the grade: 2 findings · js 1.9/kLOC · py 0.0/kLOC.
Against established software: 59% — above 16 of the 27 hand-written public projects in slopmeter's corpus, scanned 2026-09-10. A sample, not a census.

Commits
240 first-parent commits on main in the window, lockfiles and build output excluded. Median 28 lines, p90 328, 19 over 400 lines, p90 6 files per commit, churn proxy 13%.
How this was measured
Over-engineering is five patterns counted per thousand lines, parsed with go/types and tree-sitter rather than matched as text. Test coverage is logic files against whole-word mentions of their symbols in the test files beside them. Commit health reads git log --first-parent over the window, with lockfiles and build output excluded. The composite renormalises over whatever could be measured; anything that could not says so.
Run the same scan yourself — it clones into a temporary directory and removes it afterwards:
