Neither — it's a plugin package: skill files plus SessionStart hooks and bootstrap files that get copied into each AI tool's skills directory, like .claude/skills/ for Claude Code or .cursor/skills/ for Cursor.How do I install it into my AI coding tool?Run npx superpowers-zh in your project — it auto-detects which of the 26 supported tools you use and installs the 20 skills to the right folders. Use --tool to pick one explicitly or --global to install once for all projects. Don't run the project-level install inside your home directory.

Use --tool to pick one explicitly or --global to install once for all projects. Don't run the project-level install inside your home directory.Do I need Node.js or anything else before installing?Just Node.js 20 or newer to run the npx installer — beyond that it only writes skill files that your AI coding tool picks up on its own.
Just Node.js 20 or newer to run the npx installer — beyond that it only writes skill files that your AI coding tool picks up on its own.Is manually copying the skills folder just as good as the installer?No — the README calls a manual cp -r a low-fidelity install: a plain copy skips the SessionStart hooks and bootstrap files that make skills auto-trigger. Older versions also polluted your home directory if the installer ran there; since v1.2.1 it refuses.

The docs spell out user-level paths for macOS and Linux (like ~/.claude/skills) and Windows-specific ones — Crush, for example, installs to a LOCALAPPDATA folder on Windows.

This edition translates all of them, supports 26 tools, adds 4 China-specific skills, adapts to Chinese git platforms (Gitee, Coding, Jihu GitLab, CNB) and code-review culture, and welcomes new skill PRs — upstream generally doesn't.

They load only when you explicitly type /chinese-xxx, so they never hijack the auto-triggered workflow skills.

Just don't install both ways in the same project, or the skills end up duplicated.

The two increments inside translated skills are explicitly marked in the text, and the repo's audit forces an error if any increment is unlabeled.
