Graceful Degradation
All Night Market plugins work without superpowers:
Without Superpowers
- Commands: Execute core functionality
- Skills: Provide standalone guidance
- Agents: Function with reduced automation
With Superpowers
- Commands: Enhanced methodology phases
- Skills: Integrated methodology patterns
- Agents: Full automation depth
Example: /do-issue Workflow
Without Superpowers
1. Parse issue
2. Analyze codebase
3. Implement fix
4. Create PR
With Superpowers
1. Parse issue
2. [subagent-driven-development] Plan subagent tasks
3. [writing-plans] Create structured plan
4. [test-driven-development] Write failing test
5. Implement fix
6. [requesting-code-review] Self-review
7. [finishing-a-development-branch] Cleanup
8. Create PR
Recommended Setup
For the full Night Market experience:
# 1. Add marketplaces
/plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers
/plugin marketplace add athola/claude-night-market
# 2. Install superpowers (foundational)
/plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace
# 3. Install Night Market plugins
/plugin install sanctum@claude-night-market
/plugin install spec-kit@claude-night-market
/plugin install pensive@claude-night-market
