## 🎯 **Overview** SuperClaude is a **meta-programming configuration framework** that transforms Claude Code into a structured development platform through behavioral instruction injection and component orchestration. It provides systematic workflow automation with powerful tools and intelligent agents. ## Disclaimer This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic. Claude Code is a product built and maintained by [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/). ## 📖 **For Developers & Contributors** **Essential documentation for working with SuperClaude Framework:** | Document | Purpose | When to Read | |----------|---------|--------------| | **[PLANNING.md](PLANNING.md)** | Architecture, design principles, absolute rules | Session start, before implementation | | **[TASK.md](TASK.md)** | Current tasks, priorities, backlog | Daily, before starting work | | **[KNOWLEDGE.md](KNOWLEDGE.md)** | Accumulated insights, best practices, troubleshooting | When encountering issues, learning patterns | | **[CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)** | Contribution guidelines, workflow | Before submitting PRs | > **💡 Pro Tip**: Claude Code reads these files at session start to ensure consistent, high-quality development aligned with project standards. ## ⚡ **Quick Installation** > **IMPORTANT**: The TypeScript plugin system described in older documentation is > not yet available (planned for v5.0). For current installation > instructions, please follow the steps below for v4.x. ### **Current Stable Version (v4.1.6)** SuperClaude currently uses slash commands. **Option 1: pipx (Recommended)** ```bash # Install from PyPI pipx install superclaude # Install commands (installs /research, /index-repo, /agent, /recommend) superclaude install # Verify installation superclaude install --list superclaude doctor ``` After installation, restart Claude Code to use the commands: - `/research` - Deep web research with parallel search - `/index-repo` - Repository indexing for context optimization - `/agent` - Specialized AI agents - `/recommend` - Command recommendations **Option 2: Direct Installation from Git** ```bash # Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Framework.git cd SuperClaude_Framework # Run the installation script ./install.sh ``` ### **Coming in v5.0 (In Development)** We are actively working on a new TypeScript plugin system (see issue [#419](https://github.com/SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Framework/issues/419) for details). When released, installation will be simplified to: ```bash # This feature is not yet available /plugin marketplace add SuperClaude-Org/superclaude-plugin-marketplace /plugin install superclaude ``` **Status**: In development. No ETA has been set. ### **Enhanced Performance (Optional MCPs)** For **2-3x faster** execution and **30-50% fewer tokens**, optionally install MCP servers: ```bash # Optional MCP servers for enhanced performance (via airis-mcp-gateway): # - Serena: Code understanding (2-3x faster) # - Sequential: Token-efficient reasoning (30-50% fewer tokens) # - Tavily: Web search for Deep Research # - Context7: Official documentation lookup # - Mindbase: Semantic search across all conversations (optional enhancement) # Note: Error learning available via built-in ReflexionMemory (no installation required) # Mindbase provides semantic search enhancement (requires "recommended" profile) # Install MCP servers: https://github.com/agiletec-inc/airis-mcp-gateway # See docs/mcp/mcp-integration-policy.md for details ``` **Performance Comparison:** - **Without MCPs**: Fully functional, standard performance ✅ - **With MCPs**: 2-3x faster, 30-50% fewer tokens ⚡

## 💖 **Support the Project** > Hey, let's be real - maintaining SuperClaude takes time and resources. > > *The Claude Max subscription alone runs $100/month for testing, and that's before counting the hours spent on documentation, bug fixes, and feature development.* > *If you're finding value in SuperClaude for your daily work, consider supporting the project.* > *Even a few dollars helps cover the basics and keeps development active.* > > Every contributor matters, whether through code, feedback, or support.
