# SuperClaude Agents Guide 🤖
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
SuperClaude employs 13 specialized AI agents that automatically activate based on task context and keywords. The intelligent routing system analyzes your requests and coordinates the most relevant domain experts for optimal results.
|
||||
|
||||
**Automatic Activation**: Type `/sc:implement "secure user login"` and watch as the security-engineer, backend-architect, and frontend-architect agents coordinate automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
**Intelligent Coordination**: Multiple agents can work together on complex tasks, with each contributing their specialized expertise to different aspects of the problem.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Just Try These (No Agent Knowledge Required)
|
||||
|
||||
**Automatic Agent Examples:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Triggers: security-engineer + backend-architect
|
||||
/sc:implement "JWT authentication with rate limiting"
|
||||
|
||||
# Triggers: frontend-architect + ux-designer
|
||||
/sc:design "responsive dashboard with accessibility"
|
||||
|
||||
# Triggers: devops-architect + performance-engineer
|
||||
/sc:troubleshoot "slow deployment pipeline"
|
||||
|
||||
# Triggers: qa-specialist + security-engineer
|
||||
/sc:test "payment processing security"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern Recognition Logic:**
|
||||
- **Keywords**: "auth", "security" → security-engineer
|
||||
- **File types**: ".jsx", ".vue" → frontend-architect
|
||||
- **Context**: API endpoints → backend-architect
|
||||
- **Complexity**: Multi-domain tasks → Multiple agents

|
||||
**Common Issues & Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Command Not Found:**
|
||||
- Verify SuperClaude installation: `SuperClaude --version`
|
||||
- Check component installation: `SuperClaude install --list-components`
|
||||
- Restart Claude Code session
|
||||
|
||||
**Slow Performance:**
|
||||
- Use `--scope file` to limit analysis scope
|
||||
- Enable specific MCP servers only: `--c7 --seq` instead of `--all-mcp`
|
||||
- Use `--concurrency 2` to limit parallel operations
|
||||
|
||||
**MCP Server Issues:**
|
||||
- Check server status: `ls ~/.claude/.claude.json`
|
||||
- Restart with: `SuperClaude install --components mcp --force`
|
||||
- Use `--no-mcp` for native-only execution
|
||||
|
||||
**Scope Management:**
|
||||
- Use `--scope file|module|project` to control analysis depth
|
||||
- Limit with `--focus` specific areas
|
||||
- Use `--dry-run` for preview without execution

# SuperClaude Framework Flags User Guide 🏁
|
||||
|
||||
## 🤖 Most Flags Activate Automatically - Don't Stress About It!
|
||||
|
||||
SuperClaude's intelligent flag system automatically detects task complexity and context, then activates appropriate flags behind the scenes. You get optimized performance without memorizing flag combinations.
|
||||
|
||||
**Intelligent Auto-Activation**: Type `/sc:analyze large-codebase/` → `--think-hard` + `--serena` + `--orchestrate` activate automatically. Type complex multi-file operations → `--task-manage` + `--delegate` optimize execution. Work under resource pressure → `--uc` compresses output.
|
||||
|
||||
**Manual Override Available**: When you want specific behavior, flags provide precise control. But in most cases, SuperClaude's automatic selection delivers optimal results.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Just Try These (No Flag Knowledge Required)
|
||||
|
||||
**Commands Work Great Without Flags:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# These automatically get optimal flags
|
||||
/sc:brainstorm "mobile fitness app"
|
||||
# → Auto-activates: --brainstorm, --think, --context7
|
||||
|
||||
/sc:analyze src/ --focus security
|
||||
# → Auto-activates: --think-hard, --serena, --orchestrate
|
||||
|
||||
/sc:implement "user authentication system"
|
||||
# → Auto-activates: --task-manage, --c7, --magic, --validate
|
||||
|
||||
/sc:troubleshoot "API performance issues"
|
||||
# → Auto-activates: --think-hard, --seq, --serena, --introspect
|
||||
|
||||
/sc:improve legacy-code/ --focus maintainability
|
||||
# → Auto-activates: --task-manage, --morph, --serena, --safe-mode
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behind-the-Scenes Optimization:**
|
||||
- **Context Analysis**: Keywords trigger appropriate specialists and tools
|
||||
- **Complexity Detection**: Multi-file operations get coordination flags
|
||||
- **Resource Awareness**: System load triggers efficiency optimizations
|
||||
- **Quality Gates**: Risky operations automatically enable safety flags
|
||||
- **Performance Tuning**: Optimal tool combinations selected automatically
|
||||
|
||||
**When Manual Flags Help:**
|
||||
- Override automatic detection: `--no-mcp` for lightweight execution
|
||||
- Force specific behavior: `--uc` for compressed output
|
||||
- Learning and exploration: `--introspect` to see reasoning
|
||||
- Resource control: `--concurrency 2` to limit parallel operations
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## What Are Flags? 🤔
|
||||
|
||||
**Flags are Modifiers** that adjust SuperClaude's behavior for specific contexts and requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
**Flag Syntax:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
/sc:command [args] --flag-name [value]
|
||||
|
||||
# Examples
|
||||
/sc:analyze src/ --focus security --depth deep
|
||||
/sc:implement "auth" --brainstorm --task-manage --validate
|
||||
/sc:troubleshoot issue/ --think-hard --uc --concurrency 3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Two Types of Activation:**
|
||||
1. **Automatic** (90% of use): SuperClaude detects context and activates optimal flags
|
||||
2. **Manual** (10% of use): You override or specify exact behavior needed
|
||||
|
||||
**Flag Functions:**
|
||||
- **Behavioral Modes**: `--brainstorm`, `--introspect`, `--task-manage`
|
||||
- **Tool Selection**: `--c7`, `--seq`, `--magic`, `--morph`, `--serena`, `--play`
|
||||
- **Analysis Depth**: `--think`, `--think-hard`, `--ultrathink`
|
||||
- **Efficiency Control**: `--uc`, `--concurrency`, `--scope`
|
||||
- **Safety & Quality**: `--safe-mode`, `--validate`, `--dry-run`
|
||||
|
||||
**Auto-Activation vs Manual Override:**
|
||||
- **Auto**: `/sc:implement "React dashboard"` → Magic + Context7 + task coordination
|
||||
- **Manual**: `/sc:implement "simple function" --no-mcp` → Native-only execution
|

## Advanced Flag Usage 🚀
|
||||
|
||||
### Context-Aware Flag Selection
|
||||
|
||||
**Adaptive Flagging Based on Project Type:**
|
||||
|
||||
**React/Frontend Projects:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Automatically optimized for React development
|
||||
/sc:implement "user-dashboard"
|
||||
# → Auto-flags: --magic --c7 --focus accessibility --orchestrate
|
||||
|
||||
# Manual optimization for specific needs
|
||||
/sc:implement "dashboard" --magic --c7 --play --focus accessibility
|
||||
# → UI generation + patterns + testing + accessibility validation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Backend/API Projects:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Automatically optimized for backend development
|
||||
/sc:implement "payment-api"
|
||||
# → Auto-flags: --focus security --validate --c7 --seq
|
||||
|
||||
# Manual security-first approach
|
||||
/sc:implement "api" --focus security --validate --backup --tests-required
|
||||
# → Security analysis + validation + safety protocols
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Legacy Modernization:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Complex legacy work gets automatic coordination
|
||||
/sc:improve legacy-monolith/
|
||||
# → Auto-flags: --task-manage --serena --morph --think-hard --backup
|
||||
|
||||
# Manual control for specific modernization strategy
|
||||
/sc:improve legacy/ --ultrathink --task-manage --serena --morph --safe-mode
|
||||
# → Maximum analysis + coordination + transformation + safety
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Flag Precedence & Conflict Resolution
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority Hierarchy:**
|
||||
1. **Safety First**: `--safe-mode` > `--validate` > optimization flags
|
||||
2. **Explicit Override**: User flags > auto-detection
|
||||
3. **Depth Hierarchy**: `--ultrathink` > `--think-hard` > `--think`
|
||||
4. **MCP Control**: `--no-mcp` overrides all individual MCP flags
|
||||
5. **Scope Precedence**: `system` > `project` > `module` > `file`
|
||||
|
||||
**Conflict Resolution Examples:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Safety overrides efficiency
|
||||
/sc:implement "critical-feature" --uc --safe-mode
|
||||
# → Result: Safe mode wins, auto-enables backup and validation
|
||||
|
||||
# Explicit scope overrides auto-detection
|
||||
/sc:analyze large-project/ --scope file target.js
|
||||
# → Result: Only analyzes target.js despite project size
|
||||
|
||||
# No-MCP overrides individual server flags
|
||||
/sc:implement "feature" --magic --c7 --no-mcp
|
||||
# → Result: No MCP servers used, native execution only
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Dynamic Flag Adaptation
|
||||
|
||||
**Resource-Responsive Flagging:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# System automatically adapts based on available resources
|
||||
/sc:analyze enterprise-codebase/
|
||||
# → High resources: --all-mcp --parallel --think-hard
|
||||
# → Medium resources: --c7 --seq --serena --think
|
||||
# → Low resources: --no-mcp --uc --scope module
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Complexity-Driven Selection:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Flags scale with detected complexity
|
||||
/sc:implement "simple helper function"
|
||||
# → Auto-flags: minimal, fast execution
|
||||
|
||||
/sc:implement "microservices authentication"
|
||||
# → Auto-flags: --ultrathink --all-mcp --task-manage --validate --orchestrate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Expert Flag Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Security-First Development:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Progressive security validation
|
||||
/sc:implement "auth-system" --focus security --validate --tests-required
|
||||
/sc:review "payment-code" --focus security --think-hard --backup
|
||||
/sc:analyze "user-data" --focus security --all-mcp --safe-mode
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance Optimization Workflow:**

|
||||
# Systematic performance improvement
|
||||
/sc:analyze --focus performance --think-hard --seq --play
|
||||
/sc:improve --focus performance --morph --parallel --validate
|
||||
/sc:test --focus performance --play --format json --export metrics.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Learning & Discovery Patterns:**

||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Flag Troubleshooting 🔧
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues & Solutions
|
||||
|
||||
**Flag Not Recognized:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Problem: Unknown flag error
|
||||
/sc:analyze code/ --unknown-flag
|
||||
|
||||
# Solution: Check flag spelling and availability
|
||||
SuperClaude --help flags
|
||||
/sc:help --flags
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Conflicting Flags:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Problem: Contradictory flags
|
||||
/sc:implement "feature" --all-mcp --no-mcp
|
||||
|
||||
# Solution: Use flag priority rules
|
||||
# --no-mcp overrides --all-mcp (explicit override wins)
|
||||
# Use: /sc:implement "feature" --no-mcp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Resource Issues:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Problem: System overload with --all-mcp --ultrathink
|
||||
/sc:analyze large-project/ --all-mcp --ultrathink
|
||||
|
||||
# Solution: Reduce resource usage
|
||||
/sc:analyze large-project/ --c7 --seq --think --concurrency 2
|
||||
# Or let auto-detection handle it: /sc:analyze large-project/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**MCP Server Connection Problems:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Problem: MCP flags not working
|
||||
/sc:implement "dashboard" --magic # Magic server not responding
|
||||
|
||||
# Solutions:
|
||||
# 1. Check MCP installation
|
||||
SuperClaude install --list-components | grep mcp
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Restart Claude Code session (MCP connections refresh)
|
||||
# 3. Use fallback approach
|
||||
/sc:implement "dashboard" --no-mcp # Native execution
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Reinstall MCP servers
|
||||
SuperClaude install --components mcp --force
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance Problems:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Problem: Slow execution with complex flags
|
||||
/sc:analyze codebase/ --ultrathink --all-mcp --parallel
|
||||
|
||||
# Solutions:
|
||||
# 1. Reduce complexity
|
||||
/sc:analyze codebase/ --think --c7 --seq
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Use scope limiting
|
||||
/sc:analyze codebase/ --scope module --focus quality
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Enable efficiency mode
|
||||
/sc:analyze codebase/ --uc --concurrency 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Flag Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
**Check Auto-Activated Flags:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Add --verbose to see which flags were auto-activated
|
||||
/sc:analyze project/ --verbose
|
||||
# → Output shows: "Auto-activated: --think-hard, --serena, --orchestrate"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Test Flag Combinations:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Use --dry-run to test flag effects without execution
|
||||
/sc:improve code/ --task-manage --morph --dry-run
|
||||
# → Shows planned execution without making changes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Validate Flag Usage:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check flag compatibility
|
||||
SuperClaude validate-flags --think-hard --no-mcp --magic
|
||||
# → Reports conflicts and suggests corrections
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
"args": ["/path/to/sequential-server"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites by Server
|
||||
|
||||
**Node.js Required (Most Servers):**
|
||||
- Context7, Magic, Sequential, Playwright require Node.js 16+
|
||||
- Install: `brew install node` (macOS) or visit https://nodejs.org
|
||||
|
||||
**Python Required:**
|
||||
- Morphllm, Serena work with Python environment
|
||||
- Already satisfied by SuperClaude installation
|
||||
|
||||
**System Resources:**
|
||||
- **Minimal**: 2GB RAM for basic MCP functionality
|
||||

## Usage Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Automatic Server Selection
|
||||
|
||||
**Context-Based Activation:**
|
||||
SuperClaude analyzes your request and automatically selects optimal MCP servers:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Frontend development → Magic + Context7
|
||||
/sc:implement "responsive navigation component"
|
||||
|
||||
# Performance investigation → Sequential + Playwright
|
||||
/sc:troubleshoot "page load time >3 seconds"
|
||||
|
||||
# Large refactoring → Serena + Morphllm + Sequential
|
||||
/sc:improve legacy-authentication-system/
|
||||
|
||||
# Documentation lookup → Context7
|
||||
/sc:explain "React useCallback best practices"
|
||||
|
||||
# Browser testing → Playwright + Sequential
|
||||
/sc:test --type e2e user-checkout-flow/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Intelligence Behind Selection:**
|
||||
- **Keywords**: "component", "UI" → Magic activation
|
||||
- **File types**: `.jsx`, `.vue` → Magic + Context7
|
||||
- **Complexity**: Multi-file operations → Serena + Morphllm
|
||||
- **Analysis depth**: `--think-hard` → Sequential + Context7
|
||||
- **Testing scope**: E2E workflows → Playwright + Sequential
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Server Control
|
||||
|
||||
**Force Specific Servers:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Enable specific servers
|
||||
/sc:analyze codebase/ --c7 --seq --serena
|
||||
|
||||
# Disable all MCP servers
|
||||
/sc:implement "simple function" --no-mcp
|
||||
|
||||
# Enable all servers for maximum capability
|
||||
/sc:design "complex system architecture" --all-mcp
|
||||
|
||||
# Lightweight execution
|
||||
/sc:explain "function purpose" --no-mcp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Server Combination Strategies:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Documentation + Analysis:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
/sc:analyze security-patterns/ --c7 --seq
|
||||
# → Context7 provides security patterns + Sequential analyzes implementation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**UI Development:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
/sc:implement "dashboard interface" --magic --c7 --play
|
||||
# → Magic generates components + Context7 patterns + Playwright testing
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Code Transformation:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
/sc:improve legacy-code/ --serena --morph --seq
|
||||
# → Serena analyzes structure + Morphllm transforms + Sequential validates
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Multi-Server Coordination
|
||||
|
||||
**Complex Workflow Example:**
|
||||
```bash

|
||||
|
||||
## Developer Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP Server Development
|
||||
|
||||
**Creating Custom MCP Servers:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Server Structure:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// custom-mcp-server.js
|
||||
import { Server } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js';
|
||||
|
||||
const server = new Server(
|
||||
{
|
||||
name: "custom-server",
|
||||
version: "1.0.0"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
capabilities: {
|
||||
resources: {},
|
||||
tools: {},
|
||||
prompts: {}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// Tool implementation
|
||||
server.setRequestHandler(
|
||||
'tools/call',
|
||||
async (request) => {
|
||||
// Custom tool logic
|
||||
return { content: [{ type: "text", text: result }] };
|
||||
}
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**SuperClaude Integration:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# setup/components/custom_mcp.py
|
||||
from setup.components.base import BaseComponent
|
||||
|
||||
class CustomMCPComponent(BaseComponent):
|
||||
def get_metadata(self):
|
||||
return {
|
||||
"name": "custom_mcp",
|
||||
"description": "Custom MCP server integration",
|
||||
"dependencies": ["core"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
def install(self, install_dir):
|
||||
# Install custom server configuration
|
||||
self._install_mcp_config(install_dir)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Communication Protocols
|
||||
|
||||
**MCP Protocol Flow:**
|
||||
1. **Initialization**: Claude Code connects to MCP server via JSON-RPC
|
||||
2. **Capability Exchange**: Server announces available tools and resources
|
||||
3. **Request/Response**: Claude sends requests, server processes and responds
|
||||
4. **Session Management**: Maintain context across multiple interactions
|
||||
|
||||
**Message Structure:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
|
||||
"id": "request-id",
|
||||
"method": "tools/call",
|
||||
"params": {
|
||||
"name": "analyze-code",
|
||||
"arguments": {
|
||||
"code": "function example() { return 'hello'; }",
|
||||
"language": "javascript"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**SuperClaude MCP Interface:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class MCPCoordinator:
|
||||
def select_servers(self, task_context):
|
||||
"""Intelligent server selection based on task analysis"""
|
||||
servers = []
|
||||
|
||||
if self._needs_documentation(task_context):
|
||||
servers.append("context7")
|
||||
|
||||
if self._needs_reasoning(task_context):
|
||||
servers.append("sequential")
|
||||
|
||||
if self._needs_ui_generation(task_context):
|
||||
servers.append("magic")
|
||||
|
||||
return servers
|
||||
|
||||
def coordinate_request(self, servers, request):

# SuperClaude Behavioral Modes Guide 🧠
|
||||
|
||||
## 💡 The Simple Truth About Modes
|
||||
|
||||
SuperClaude employs 6 behavioral modes that automatically adapt Claude Code's communication style, tool selection, and workflow approach based on task context and complexity. Modes work seamlessly in the background - you don't need to think about them.
|
||||
|
||||
**Automatic Intelligence**: Type `/sc:brainstorm "mobile app"` → Brainstorming mode activates with Socratic questions. Type `/sc:analyze src/` → Introspection mode provides transparent reasoning. Type complex multi-file operations → Task Management coordinates execution phases.
|
||||
|
||||
**Behind the Scenes**: Modes enhance your experience by optimizing communication patterns, resource usage, and workflow orchestration based on what you're trying to accomplish.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Just Try These (See Modes in Action)
|
||||
|
||||
**Automatic Mode Examples:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Brainstorming mode activates automatically
|
||||
/sc:brainstorm "fitness tracking app"
|
||||
# → Socratic questions about users, features, goals
|
||||
|
||||
# Introspection mode shows reasoning
|
||||
/sc:analyze --focus security
|
||||
# → Transparent thinking: "🤔 Why security first? 🎯 Risk assessment shows..."
|
||||
|
||||
# Task Management coordinates complex work
|
||||
/sc:implement "user authentication with email verification"
|
||||
# → Phases: analysis → design → implementation → testing
|
||||
|
||||
# Orchestration optimizes tool selection
|
||||
/sc:improve src/ --focus performance
|
||||
# → Magic + Morphllm + Sequential coordination
|
||||
|
||||
# Token Efficiency compresses output
|
||||
"--uc implement auth API"
|
||||
# → "auth.js:45 → 🔧 JWT middleware ⇒ validated_user"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Mode Detection Logic:**
|
||||
- **Keywords**: "brainstorm", "maybe" → Brainstorming
|
||||
- **Complexity**: >3 files → Task Management
|
||||
- **Performance**: Resource pressure → Token Efficiency
|
||||
- **Multi-tool**: Complex analysis → Orchestration
|
||||
- **Error recovery**: Problems → Introspection
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
# Task Management coordinates implementation
|
||||
/sc:implement "payment integration"
|
||||
→ Phase 1: Architecture (Orchestration mode for tool selection)
|
||||
→ Phase 2: Implementation (Token Efficiency if complex)
|
||||
→ Phase 3: Testing (Introspection for quality analysis)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Multi-Mode Complex Scenarios:**

|
||||
- **MCP servers** are selected by Orchestration mode logic
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: What if automatic detection is wrong?**
|
||||
A: Manual override available:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
/sc:command --brainstorm # Force discovery approach
|
||||
/sc:command --no-introspect # Suppress reasoning markers
|
||||
/sc:command --uc # Force compression
|
||||
```

# SuperClaude Session Management Guide 🧠
|
||||
|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
SuperClaude transforms Claude Code from a stateless assistant into a **persistent development partner** through intelligent session management. Sessions preserve project context, accumulated insights, and development progress across interruptions, creating continuity that builds expertise over time.
|
||||
|
||||
**Persistent Intelligence**: Load project context with `/sc:load`, work naturally with accumulated understanding, save progress with `/sc:save`, and resume exactly where you left off. SuperClaude remembers your codebase structure, decisions made, patterns discovered, and project goals.
|
||||
|
||||
**Cross-Session Learning**: Each session builds on previous understanding, creating a development partner that becomes more effective with your specific project over time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Session Fundamentals
|
||||

||||
- **Development History**: Decisions made, problems solved, patterns applied
|
||||
- **Current State**: Active tasks, progress tracking, next steps
|
||||
- **Learned Insights**: Code conventions, team preferences, domain knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
**Session Intelligence vs Standard Claude:**
|
||||
- **Standard Claude**: Each conversation starts fresh, no project memory
|
||||
- **SuperClaude Sessions**: Cumulative understanding that builds over time
|
||||
|
||||
**Session Types:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Project Sessions**: Long-term development context for specific codebases
|
||||
- Persistent across weeks/months of development
|
||||
- Accumulates architectural understanding
|
||||
- Remembers team conventions and decisions
|
||||
|
||||
**Task Sessions**: Focused context for specific features or problems
|
||||
- Short to medium-term (hours to days)
|
||||
- Maintains task-specific context and progress
|
||||
- Integrates with project sessions for broader context
|
||||
|
||||
**Learning Sessions**: Educational context for understanding complex systems
|
||||
- Preserves learning progress and insights
|
||||
- Builds conceptual understanding over time
|
||||

||||
```bash
|
||||
# Daily standup preparation
|
||||
/sc:reflect --type team-progress
|
||||
→ Team-level progress summary and coordination
|
||||
|
||||
# Sprint planning context
|
||||
/sc:load --sprint-context team-project/
|
||||
→ Sprint-level understanding and planning context
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Load by specific session name
|
||||
/sc:load "session-name"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Fresh analysis if needed
|
||||
/sc:load --refresh --comprehensive project/
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Check Serena MCP status
|
||||
SuperClaude status --mcp serena
|
||||
```
|
||||

/sc:reflect --type memory-health
|
||||
/sc:save --consolidate "clean-session-state"
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Selective memory refresh
|
||||
/sc:load --refresh-memory specific-area/
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Clean session restart
|
||||
/sc:save --archive "old-session"
|
||||
/sc:load --fresh project/
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
/sc:load --list-backups
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Restore from backup
|
||||
/sc:load --restore-backup "backup-timestamp"
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Partial recovery if needed
|
||||
/sc:load --partial-restore specific-components/
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Rebuild from artifacts
|
||||
/sc:load --rebuild-from git-history project/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Session Health Monitoring
|
||||

||||
/sc:reflect --type session-health
|
||||
→ Memory consistency, context completeness, performance metrics
|
||||
|
||||
# Memory optimization
|
||||
/sc:save --optimize "clean-session"
|
||||
→ Consolidate insights, remove redundant context
|
||||
|
||||
# Performance tuning
|
||||
/sc:load --performance-mode project/
|
||||
→ Optimized loading for resource-constrained environments
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Best Practices for Session Reliability:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Regular Saves**: Save at natural breakpoints and end of work
|
||||
2. **Descriptive Names**: Use clear, descriptive session names
|
||||
3. **Health Monitoring**: Regular reflection and health checks
|
||||
4. **Backup Strategy**: Multiple checkpoint saves during long work
|
||||
5. **Scope Management**: Load only necessary context for current work
|
||||
6. **Memory Hygiene**: Periodic consolidation and cleanup
