This tutorial follows Superpowers inside Claude Code as Eric adds Google Drive folder syncing to his BookZero.ai bookkeeping app. He presents test-driven development as the framework's main distinction from other spec-driven workflows and compares its task delegation with GSD.

The setup uses a Claude Code marketplace installation and the plugin management screen. Eric says the displayed Superpowers slash commands are deprecated and uses its skills instead. Brainstorming starts with a Jira ticket, examines the existing import architecture, and produces browser mockups for the sync control. He selects a split dropdown before reviewing a specification with API routes, edge cases, and acceptance criteria.

The implementation plan contains 11 tasks, with steps to write a failing test, implement the behavior, verify the test passes, and commit changes. Eric chooses a fresh sub-agent for each task and a project-level Git worktree. A final code review identifies issues and delegates fixes before he performs a manual smoke test. In the demonstration, the app detects six newly added files in a connected Drive folder and imports them into the receipts page.
