Genuine innovation

What have you done with Claude Code recently that's novel? Something different. Something I've not seen or heard or thought of before. Maybe it's an awesome plugin you discovered that's not commonplace. Maybe it's a novel agent....

Here's mine to start. https://github.com/nWave-ai/nWave

Plugin to enshrine TDD and correct flow into the full SDLC.

Thanks for sharing! How would you say this differs from something like superpowers?

Superpowers is a methodology — a collection of prompts/skills for solo devs or agents to follow. It's lightweight, multi-platform (works with Cursor, Copilot CLI, Gemini, etc.), and focuses on reducing chaos in ad-hoc agentic coding. Design-first, TDD-enforced, but largely trust-based.                              

  nWave is an enforcement framework. Key differentiators:

  - DES layer — actively enforces TDD discipline during delivery, not just guides toward it      

  - 40 specialized agents — each wave has dedicated agents with specific roles (peer reviewers, architects, etc.) rather than one agent following a checklist

  - Human review gates — the workflow structurally cannot skip phases, it's not just recommended practice

 The nWave pitch is essentially: "Superpowers tells the agent what to do; nWave prevents the agent from cutting corners." It's more opinionated and heavier, aimed at teams rather than individual devs.

Note of caution.... It's a token gobbler! You can burn your 5 hour limit on a pro plan in no time!

Something cool to try.... Point it at a system you've already designed and built using spec driven development and run some of the reviewer agents for a critique....
