### Installation Problems

**Package Installation Fails:**
```bash
# For pipx users
pipx uninstall SuperClaude
pipx install SuperClaude

# For pip users
pip uninstall SuperClaude
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install SuperClaude
```

**Permission Denied / PEP 668 Error:**
```bash
# Option 1: Use pipx (recommended)
pipx install SuperClaude

# Option 2: Use pip with --user flag
pip install --user SuperClaude

# Option 3: Fix permissions

```

### Command Issues

**Commands Not Recognized:**
1. Restart Claude Code completely
2. Verify: `python3 -m SuperClaude --version`
3. Test: `/sc:brainstorm "test"`

**Agents Not Activating:**
- Use specific keywords: `/sc:implement "secure JWT authentication"`
- Manual activation: `@agent-security "review auth code"`

**Slow Performance:**
```bash
/sc:analyze . --no-mcp               # Test without MCP servers
/sc:analyze src/ --scope file        # Limit scope
```

### MCP Server Issues

**Server Connection Fails:**
```bash
ls ~/.claude/.claude.json            # Check config exists
node --version                       # Verify Node.js 16+
SuperClaude install --components mcp --force
```

**API Key Required (Magic/Morphllm):**
```bash
export TWENTYFIRST_API_KEY="your_key"
export MORPH_API_KEY="your_key"
# Or use: /sc:command --no-mcp
```

## Advanced Diagnostics

**System Analysis:**
```bash
SuperClaude install --diagnose
cat ~/.claude/logs/superclaude.log | tail -50
```

**Component Analysis:**
```bash
ls -la ~/.claude/                    # Check installed files
grep -r "@" ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md      # Verify imports
```

**Reset Installation:**
```bash
SuperClaude backup --create          # Backup first
SuperClaude uninstall
SuperClaude install --fresh
```
