# SuperClaude Flags User Guide 🏁
## 🤖 Most Flags Activate Automatically - Don't Stress About It!
**The honest truth**: You don't need to memorize these flags. SuperClaude automatically adds the right ones based on what you're doing!
**Here's what actually happens:**
- You type `/analyze auth.js`
- SuperClaude detects it's security-related code
- **Automatically adds** `--persona-security`, `--focus security`, `--validate`
- You get expert security analysis without managing any flags
**When might you manually use flags?**
- You want to **override** what SuperClaude picked (rare)
- You're **curious** about specific aspects (`--focus performance`)
- You want to **experiment** with different approaches
**Bottom line**: Just use basic commands and let the auto-activation work. These flags are here when you want them, not because you need them. 🎯
---
## 🚀 Just Try These (No Flag Knowledge Required)
```bash
# These work great with zero flag knowledge:
/analyze src/ # Auto-picks the right analysis flags
/build # Auto-optimizes based on your project
/improve messy-code.js # Auto-activates quality and safety flags
/troubleshoot "weird error" # Auto-activates debugging and analysis flags
```
**See? No flags needed.** Everything below is for when you get curious about what's happening behind the scenes.

A practical guide to SuperClaude's flag system. Flags are like command-line options that change how SuperClaude behaves - think of them as superpowers for your commands.
## What Are Flags? 🤔
**Flags are modifiers** that change how SuperClaude processes your requests. They come after commands and start with `--`.
**Basic syntax**:
**Basic syntax** (but you usually don't need to know this):
```bash
/command --flag-name
/command --flag-name value
/command --flag-name value
/analyze src/ --focus security --depth deep
```
**Two ways flags work**:
1. **Manual** - You add them explicitly: `/analyze --think --focus security`
2. **Auto-activation** - SuperClaude adds them based on context (this happens a lot!)
**How flags actually work in practice**:
1. **Auto-activation** - SuperClaude adds them based on context (this is the main way! 🎯)
2. **Manual override** - You can add them explicitly if you want different behavior
**Why use flags?**
**Why flags exist** (mostly automatic benefits):
- Get better, more focused results
- Control SuperClaude's thinking depth
- Enable special capabilities (MCP servers)
- Optimize for speed or detail
- Direct attention to specific areas
- Auto-enable the right thinking depth
- Connect to special capabilities when useful
- Optimize for speed or detail based on your task
- Direct attention to what you're actually working on
**The key point**: SuperClaude handles flag selection intelligently so you don't have to think about it! 🧠

### How It Works 🔄
SuperClaude enhances Claude Code through a combination of:
**The simple version**: You type something like `/analyze auth.js` and SuperClaude figures out the rest.
1. **Documentation-driven behavior** - Framework files guide Claude's responses
2. **Intelligent routing** - The orchestrator system decides which tools and personas to use
3. **Auto-activation** - Commands, flags, and personas activate based on context
4. **External integrations** - MCP servers provide specialized capabilities
5. **Quality gates** - Validation and optimization throughout the process
**The slightly more detailed version**:
The beauty is that most of this happens automatically. You make a request, SuperClaude figures out the best approach, and executes with appropriate tools and expertise.
1. **Smart routing** - Analyzes what you're asking for
2. **Auto-expert selection** - Picks the right specialist (security, performance, etc.)
3. **Tool coordination** - Connects to external systems when helpful
4. **Quality assurance** - Makes sure suggestions are solid
**You don't see any of this complexity** - it just feels like Claude got way smarter about development stuff.
The beauty is that most of this happens automatically. You make a request, SuperClaude figures out the best approach, and executes with appropriate tools and expertise. No configuration, no setup, no learning curve - just better results. ✨
