Idea

The superpowers plugin (5.0.7) needs a full skill refresh / audit. Two known issues:

  1. Visual companion server flaky on Windows restart — start-server.sh writes a PID file but never produces server-info. Server doesn't fully initialize on second launch within a session. Likely a port-reuse or background process lifecycle issue in MSYS2/Git Bash.
  2. Saves to wrong directory — superpowers frequently writes output files (specs, brainstorm artifacts) to incorrect paths, likely related to the SharePoint space-in-path working directory (devtech - Documents).

Both issues erode trust in the plugin during active brainstorming sessions. Need to either fix upstream or fork/patch locally.

Why

These are workflow friction points that compound — every brainstorming session hits one or both, leading to manual workarounds or skipping the visual companion entirely.

Triage (Validate): not addressed structurally. Current mitigation is behavioral only (the "visual companion sparingly" memory rule). Upstream fix or local patch still not filed.
