SuperClaw - Agent Development Workflow

SuperClaw brings systematic, professional software development to OpenClaw agents. Based on proven patterns from Superpowers, adapted for the agent community.

Philosophy

Test-Driven Development - Write tests first, always

Systematic over ad-hoc - Process over guessing

Complexity reduction - Simplicity as primary goal

Evidence over claims - Verify before declaring success

Workflow Overview

SuperClaw follows a 4-phase workflow:

Brainstorm → Plan → Execute → Review

Phase 1: Brainstorm 🧠

When to use: Before writing any code

What it does:

Asks clarifying questions about requirements

Explores alternative approaches

Identifies risks and constraints

Creates a design document in chunks

Output: docs/superclaw/designs/YYYY-MM-DD-.md

Key Principle: Don't jump into code. Understand the problem first.

Phase 2: Write Plan 📝

When to use: After design approval

What it does:

Breaks work into bite-sized tasks (2-5 minutes each)

Maps file structure and responsibilities

Specifies exact test criteria

Includes verification steps

Output: docs/superclaw/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-.md

Phase 3: Execute ⚡

When to use: After plan approval

What it does:

Works through tasks sequentially

Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR TDD cycle

Makes frequent commits

Reports progress

Phase 4: Review ✅

When to use: Between tasks and at completion

What it does:

Reviews code against plan

Checks for spec compliance

Identifies code quality issues

Blocks progress on critical issues
