Install Startup Superpowers in Claude Code CLI or the Claude Desktop app
It is recommended to have a new repository/folder per idea you want to explore — the idea can grow into an MVP, and the prototype’s code will live naturally in that workspace. The plugin keeps its artifacts in the startup/ subdirectory once initialised.
In the URL field paste SergeiGorbatiuk/startup-superpowers, then click “Sync”.
On certain app versions the interface does not clearly indicate success or failure of this step. To verify: click ”+” under “Personal Plugins” again, then “Browse plugins”. You should see startup-superpowers in the “Code” tab of the Directory window.

Create a workspace folder for your idea
In your shell, file manager, or however you usually do it:
mkdir my-new-ideacd my-new-idea
Then open this folder in the Desktop app.
3
Install the plugin for this project
In the Code tab, click the ”+” icon by the chat input → “Plugins” → “Add plugin”.
In the window that opens, navigate to the “Code” tab — you should find the “Startup superpowers” plugin there. If you can’t find it, go back to step 1 and verify the marketplace installation.
Click the ”+” to install globally, or click the card and choose “Install for this project” from the dropdown (recommended).

Kick things off
Run /whats-next in the chat.
On first run the agent will ask about your idea and set everything up. After that, /whats-next is your home base — run it any time you want to know where your project stands and what to focus on next.
