-#### **Quality Improvement** -```bash -/improve --focus quality legacy-codebase/ -# Auto-coordinates: refactoring-expert + quality-engineer + system-architect -``` - -### Integration with MCP Servers - -Each agent leverages specific MCP servers for enhanced capabilities: - -- **Context7**: Documentation patterns, framework best practices, compliance standards -- **Sequential**: Complex analysis, systematic problem solving, architectural planning -- **Magic**: UI component generation, design system integration, modern frameworks -- **Playwright**: Cross-browser testing, visual validation, performance testing -- **Morphllm**: Intelligent code transformations, pattern application, optimization -- **Serena**: Memory operations, cross-reference management, symbol-level analysis - -### Integration with Commands - -Agents seamlessly integrate with SuperClaude's command system: - -```bash -# Commands automatically select appropriate agents -/analyze โ†’ root-cause-analyst or system-architect (context-dependent) -/build โ†’ frontend-architect, backend-architect, or python-expert -/test โ†’ quality-engineer with domain-specific coordination -/brainstorm โ†’ requirements-analyst for requirements discovery -/document โ†’ technical-writer with audience-appropriate formatting -``` -

Ask security agents about frontend code for different viewpoints -3. **Learning mode** - Use learning-guide for explanation-focused assistance -4. **Quality focus** - Combine quality-engineer with domain experts for comprehensive quality - -### Common Patterns - -**For New Projects**: -```bash -/brainstorm "your project idea" # โ†’ Requirements discovery -# โ†’ Automatic PRD generation and handoff -# โ†’ Ready for implementation workflow -``` - -**For Existing Code**: -```bash -/analyze existing-system/ # โ†’ Appropriate domain expert auto-selected -/improve --focus quality code/ # โ†’ Quality-focused agent coordination -/secure legacy-application/ # โ†’ Security-focused analysis and hardening -``` - -**For Learning**: -```bash -/explain complex-concept --educational # โ†’ Learning guide with domain expert -/document api/ --audience beginner # โ†’ Technical writer with appropriate level -``` - ---- - -## Final Notes ๐Ÿ“ - -**The real truth about agents** ๐Ÿ’ฏ: -- **Auto-activation works remarkably well** - Usually better than trying to pick experts yourself -- **You can completely ignore agent details** and still get excellent expert assistance -- **Agents exist to help you** - Not to create complexity you need to manage -- **Learning happens naturally** through use, not through studying agent descriptions - -**Don't feel overwhelmed by the team** ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ: -- You don't need to know what each agent does -- SuperClaude handles expert selection intelligently -- The detailed descriptions above are for curiosity, not necessity -- Focus on your work - the right experts will show up when needed - -**When you might want to know about agents**: -- **Curiosity** - "What would a security expert think about this frontend code?" -- **Learning** - "How would different experts approach this problem?" -- **Specialization** - "I specifically need Python architecture expertise" -- **Quality focus** - "I want comprehensive quality analysis from multiple angles" - -**Keep it simple** ๐ŸŽฏ: -- Use normal commands like `/analyze some-code/` and `/build my-app/` -- Let the right experts automatically show up -- Agent coordination is available when you want it, not because you need it -- Focus on building great software -

-### Troubleshooting Command Issues - -**Command not working as expected?** -- Try adding `--help` to see all options -- Use `--preview` or `--safe` flags when available -- Start with smaller scope (single file vs. entire project) - -**Analysis taking too long?** -- Use `--focus` to narrow scope -- Try `--depth quick` instead of deep analysis -- Analyze smaller directories first - -**Build/test commands failing?** -- Make sure your tools are in PATH -- Check that config files are in expected locations -- Try running the underlying commands directly first - -**Not sure which command to use?** -- Use `/index` to browse available commands -- Look at the Quick Reference table above -- Try the most specific command first, then broader ones - ---- - -## Final Notes ๐Ÿ“ - -**The real truth about these commands** ๐Ÿ’ฏ: -- **Just try them** - You don't need to study this guide first -- **Start with the basics** - `/analyze`, `/build`, `/improve` cover most needs -- **Let auto-activation work** - SuperClaude usually picks helpful experts -- **Experiment freely** - Use `--preview` if you want to see what would happen first - -**Still rough around the edges:** -- Complex orchestration (spawn, task) can be a bit flaky -- Some analysis depends heavily on your project setup -- Error handling could be better in some commands - -**Getting better all the time:** -- We actively improve commands based on user feedback -- Newer commands (analyze, improve) tend to work better -- Auto-activation keeps getting smarter - -**Don't stress about memorizing this** ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ -- SuperClaude is designed to be discoverable through use -- Type `/` to see available commands -- Commands suggest what they can do when you use `--help` -- The intelligent routing handles most of the complexity -

Unlike traditional AI interactions that reset with each conversation, SuperClaude maintains project memory, learning patterns, and development context across multiple sessions. See [Examples Cookbook](examples-cookbook.md) for practical session workflows. - -### What Session Management Provides - -**Persistent Context**: Your project understanding, architectural decisions, and development patterns survive session boundaries and accumulate over time. - -**Cross-Session Learning**: SuperClaude builds comprehensive project knowledge, remembering code patterns, design decisions, and implementation approaches. - -**Intelligent Checkpoints**: Automatic state preservation ensures you never lose progress on complex development tasks. - -**Memory-Driven Workflows**: Task hierarchies, discovered patterns, and project insights are preserved and enhanced across sessions. - -**Seamless Resumption**: Pick up exactly where you left off with full context restoration and intelligent state analysis. - -## Core Concepts - -### Session States - -SuperClaude sessions exist in distinct states that determine available capabilities and behavior: - -**Uninitialized Session** -- No project context loaded -- Limited to basic Claude Code capabilities -- No memory persistence or cross-session learning -- Manual project discovery required for each task - -**Active Session** -- Project context loaded via `/sc:load` -- Full SuperClaude capabilities available -- Memory persistence enabled through Serena MCP -- Cross-session learning and pattern recognition active -- Automatic checkpoint creation based on activity - -**Checkpointed Session** -- Critical states preserved for recovery -- Task hierarchies and progress maintained -- Discoveries and patterns archived -- Recovery points for complex operations - -**Archived Session** -- Completed projects with preserved insights -- Historical context available for future reference -- Pattern libraries built from successful implementations -- Learning artifacts maintained for similar projects - -### Context Types - -SuperClaude manages multiple context layers: - -**Project Context** -- Directory structure and file organization -- Dependency mappings and architectural patterns -- Code style preferences and team conventions -- Build systems and development workflows - -**Task Context** -- Current work objectives and completion criteria -- Multi-step operations with dependency tracking -- Quality gates and validation requirements -- Progress checkpoints and recovery states - -**Learning Context** -- Discovered patterns and successful approaches -- Architectural decisions and their outcomes -- Problem-solving strategies that worked -- Anti-patterns and approaches to avoid - -**Session Metadata** -- Temporal information and session duration -- Tool usage patterns and efficiency metrics -- Quality assessments and reflection insights -- Cross-session relationship tracking - -### Memory Organization - -SuperClaude organizes persistent memory using a structured hierarchy: - -``` -plan_[timestamp]: Overall goals and objectives -phase_[1-5]: Major milestone descriptions -task_[phase].[number]: Specific deliverable status -todo_[task].[number]: Atomic action completion -checkpoint_[timestamp]: State snapshots for recovery -blockers: Active impediments requiring attention -decisions: Key architectural choices made -patterns: Successful approaches discovered -insights: Cross-session learning artifacts -``` -

Always run `/sc:load .` to understand the project -2. Check `git status` and create a feature branch -3. Use `--safe-mode` for production code -4. Start with smaller scope and expand as needed - -**During Development:** -1. Use `--preview` flags when available -2. Validate changes before applying: `--validate` -3. Save checkpoints: `/sc:save --checkpoint "before major change"` -4. Test incrementally rather than making large changes - -**For Complex Operations:** -1. Use `--think` flags for systematic analysis -2. Force appropriate experts with `--agent` when needed -3. Break large tasks into smaller scopes -4. Use `--iterative` for step-by-step improvements - -**Resource Management:** -1. Monitor context usage - auto `--uc` should kick in at 75% -2. Use `--concurrency` to control parallel operations -3. Clean up temporary files and workspace regularly -4. Use `--safe-mode` when resource usage is high - -### Best Practices - -**Command Usage:** -- Be specific rather than vague: "analyze auth security" vs "look at this" -- Use appropriate scope: file โ†’ module โ†’ project โ†’ system -- Combine flags thoughtfully: `--safe-mode --validate` for production -- Let auto-activation work - manual override only when needed - -**Project Integration:** -- Load project context before major operations: `/sc:load .` -- Follow existing patterns rather than imposing new ones -- Use framework-specific tools: `--c7` for documented frameworks -- Respect existing test and build configurations - -**Quality Assurance:** -- Never skip or disable tests to make things work -- Use validation flags: `--validate --preview --safe-mode` -- Test changes incrementally rather than all at once -- Maintain clean git history with descriptive commits - ---- - -## Quick Reference Cards ๐Ÿ“‹ - -### Emergency Fixes -```bash -# Command not working -/sc:command --help -/sc:command --preview --safe-mode - -# Installation broken -SuperClaude install --diagnose -SuperClaude install --force - -# Performance issues -/sc:command --uc --no-mcp --scope file - -# Quality issues -/sc:command --safe-mode --validate --preview - -# MCP servers not working -SuperClaude install --components mcp --force -``` - -### Common Flag Combinations -```bash -# Safe production work ---safe-mode --validate --preview - -# Fast analysis ---uc --no-mcp --depth quick - -# Deep investigation ---think-hard --seq --c7 --introspect - -# UI development ---magic --c7 --agent frontend-architect - -# Security work ---agent security-engineer --focus security --validate -``` - -### Scope Control -```bash ---scope file # Single file ---scope module # Related files ---scope project # Entire project ---scope system # Cross-project - ---focus performance # Performance-specific ---focus security # Security-specific ---focus quality # Quality-specific ---focus architecture # Architecture-specific -``` - ---- - -## Related Guides - -**๐Ÿš€ When Troubleshooting Fails (Essential)** -- [Installation Guide](installation-guide.md) - Reinstall or fix setup issues -- [Examples Cookbook](examples-cookbook.md) - Working examples to verify functionality -- [SuperClaude User Guide](superclaude-user-guide.md) - Framework overview and expectations - -**๐Ÿ“š Understanding What Should Work (Recommended)** -- [Commands Guide](commands-guide.md) - How commands should behave normally -- [Agents Guide](agents-guide.md) - When specialists should activate -- [Behavioral Modes Guide](behavioral-modes-guide.md) - How automatic adaptation should work -- [Session Management Guide](session-management.md) - Session lifecycle issues - -**โš™๏ธ Advanced Problem Solving (When Basics Don't Work)** -- [Flags Guide](flags-guide.md) - Flag conflicts and optimization issues -- [Best Practices Guide](best-practices.md) - Prevention patterns and optimal workflows -- [Technical Architecture Guide](technical-architecture.md) - Internal system understanding - -**๐Ÿ“– Recommended Troubleshooting Path:** -1.

Core SuperClaude works with Python only. MCP servers (Context7, Magic, Sequential) require Node.js 16+ for enhanced capabilities. + +**Q: Does SuperClaude work on Windows?** +A: Yes, SuperClaude supports Windows 10/11. Use PowerShell or Command Prompt for installation. Some features may require WSL for optimal compatibility. + +**Q: How much disk space does SuperClaude require?** +A: Core installation: ~50MB. With all MCP servers: ~200MB. Session storage grows over time but can be managed with cleanup commands. + +**Q: Can I install SuperClaude in a virtual environment?** +A: Yes, recommended for isolation. Use `python -m venv superclaude-env && source superclaude-env/bin/activate && pip install SuperClaude`. + +### Usage and Features + +**Q: How do I know which agent will activate for my task?** +A: Use descriptive keywords related to your domain (e.g., "secure" for security-engineer, "React" for frontend-architect). Check [Agents Guide](../User-Guide/agents.md) for trigger patterns. + +**Q: Can I use specific MCP servers only?** +A: Yes, use server-specific flags like `--c7` (Context7), `--seq` (Sequential), `--magic` (Magic UI), or `--no-mcp` for none. + +**Q: How do I save and resume work sessions?** +A: Use `/sc:save "session-name"` to save and `/sc:load "session-name"` to resume.
