Compound V — a multi-model coding sidekick for Superpowers, running on Claude Code. "You don't tell people you're injecting them with Compound V. You just hand them the spec and watch them ship." You describe a feature.
Other commands on superpowers-v.
- /v-adr
Capture one genuine architecture decision as a thin, human-confirmed ADR under docs/superpowers/adr/NNNN-slug.md — decision-with-alternatives-and-consequences, references verified to exist, draft→confirm→commit, then FTS5-recallable via /v:remember. ADR only — no C4 diagrams, no
Open command - /v-archaeology
Run Compound V Phase 1A — code archaeology — on a topic without running the other pre-flights. Useful when you want the technical audit but already have domain + library context.
Open command - /v-collect
Re-run the collect + scope-gate + review tail of a Compound V run by run-id. Normalizes each job's output into results/<id>.json, re-runs the git-derived scope gate on every job, then the three-pass Review Gate (AC-gated). Use to re-check a dispatched run without re-dispatching
Open command - /v-dashboard
Open the Compound V observability dashboard — a present-only, read-only browser view over docs/superpowers/execution/** (runs, epics, per-job status, scope-gate verdicts, blocker ledger). `emit` writes a static self-contained HTML snapshot; `serve` runs an ephemeral,
Open command - /v-dispatch
Execute a Compound-V-ready plan, manifest, or run-id via batched parallel multi-backend dispatch. Accepts a bare plan path (auto-materializes the manifest), or a manifest|run-id (dispatches directly). Runs partition-reviewer first; on PASS dispatches Task 0 serially then the
Open command - /v-epic
Drive an EPIC — chain several features into one autonomous, resumable, dependency-ordered build on a single branch. Each feature runs through the FULL v1.0 pipeline (recon-gated spec → 3 pre-flights → writing-plans + partition → manifest → dispatch → 3-pass review) in
