This mismatch caused false validation errors even though components were properly installed. ## Testing All components now validate successfully with the corrected logic. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * 🔖 Bump version to 4.0.6 across entire project ## Summary Comprehensive version update from 4.0.4 to 4.0.6 with validation fixes ## Changes - Updated VERSION file, pyproject.toml, and package.json - Updated all Python __version__ declarations (8 occurrences) - Updated all component metadata versions (6 components, 25+ occurrences) - Updated documentation and README version badges (11 files) - Fixed package.json inconsistency (was 4.0.5) - Updated legacy backup.py version reference (was 3.0.0) - Added CHANGELOG entry for version 4.0.6 ## Files Modified (26 total) - Core: VERSION, pyproject.toml, package.json - Python: SuperClaude/__init__.py, __main__.py, setup/__init__.py, cli/base.py - Components: core.py, commands.py, agents.py, mcp.py, mcp_docs.py, modes.py - Docs: README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, installation.md, quick-start.md - Config: features.json, backup.py, update.py - User: ~/.claude/.superclaude-metadata.json ## Verification All version references now consistently show 4.0.6 Historical references in CHANGELOG preserved as intended 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * 📝 Update README.md installation instructions --------- Signed-off-by: NomenAK <39598727+NomenAK@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
SuperClaude Documentation
🎯 Essential Understanding
SuperClaude is a Context Framework for Claude Code - it installs behavioral instruction files that Claude Code reads to enhance its capabilities.
How It Works
- Installation: Python CLI installs context files to
~/.claude/ - Commands: Type
/sc:analyze→ Claude Code readsanalyze.mdinstruction file - Behavior: Claude adopts behaviors defined in context files
- Result: Enhanced development workflows through context switching

🤔 Common Misconceptions Clarified
❌ "SuperClaude is an AI assistant"
✅ SuperClaude is a configuration framework that enhances Claude Code
❌ "I'm running SuperClaude"
✅ You're running Claude Code with SuperClaude context loaded
❌ "Claude Code executes; SuperClaude provides context my commands"
✅ Claude Code executes everything; SuperClaude provides the instructions
❌ "The .md files are documentation"
✅ The .md files ARE the framework - active instruction sets
Remember: SuperClaude enhances Claude Code through context - it doesn't replace it or run alongside it. Everything happens within Claude Code itself.
