What this does not tell you
Scores are percentiles of public GitHub signals. Nobody here tested these tools hands-on, so the higher score is not a verdict on which suits your project. Yellow marks the higher value.
Which one fits you
From measured data and licences, not from testing.
Pick Superpowers if
- You want the more widely adopted option (adoption 98).
- You need a permissive open-source licence (MIT).
Pick Context7 if
- Recent activity and releases matter most to you (maintenance 67).
- You need a permissive open-source licence (MIT).
- You want to run it on your own machine (local install found in the README).
Pick Agent Skills if
- You want the tool whose automated scan found no issues.
Safety side by side
Automated scan, 2 Nov 2026. Not a manual audit.

- CautionContext72 critical-severity known vulnerabilities in runtime dependencies (OSV)
- No issues foundAgent SkillsNo issues found in this week’s scan
Why different labels?
A label partly reflects how much of each tool is visible and scannable, not only how risky it is. A tool without a lockfile cannot get a dependency check.
- Superpowers: code and instruction-file checks found nothing, but there is no runtime lockfile or manifest, so dependencies were not checked
- Context7: 2 critical-severity known vulnerabilities in runtime dependencies (OSV)
- Agent Skills: no issues found
