🎯 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.

📖 For Developers & Contributors

Essential documentation for working with SuperClaude Framework:

Document	Purpose	When to Read
PLANNING.md	Architecture, design principles, absolute rules	Session start, before implementation
TASK.md	Current tasks, priorities, backlog	Daily, before starting work
KNOWLEDGE.md	Accumulated insights, best practices, troubleshooting	When encountering issues, learning patterns
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

Project-Local Plugin (Recommended)

SuperClaude v2.0+ uses TypeScript plugins with project-local auto-detection:

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Framework.git
cd SuperClaude_Framework

# Start Claude Code in this directory
claude

That's it! .claude-plugin/ is auto-detected and PM Agent activates on session start.

Key Features:

• ✅ Zero Install: No copying, no configuration
• ✅ Hot Reload: Edit TypeScript → Save → Instant reflection
• ✅ Auto-Activation: PM Agent starts automatically (SessionStart hook)
• ✅ Safe Development: Separate sandbox from global Claude Code

Enhanced Performance (Optional MCPs)

For 2-3x faster execution and 30-50% fewer tokens, optionally install MCP servers:

# 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 ⚡

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Upgrading from SuperClaude V1.x (Slash Commands)

V2.0 introduces breaking changes - migration from slash commands to TypeScript plugins:

# 1. Remove old slash commands (if installed)
rm -rf ~/.claude/commands/sc/

# 2. Use new plugin (project-local)
cd SuperClaude_Framework
claude  # .claude-plugin/ auto-detected

What's New in V2.0:

• ✅ TypeScript plugins (hot reload support)
• ✅ Project-local detection (zero install)
• ✅ Auto-activation via SessionStart hook
• ✅ 3 core plugins: PM Agent, Research, Index
• ✅ Confidence-driven workflow (≥90% threshold, Precision/Recall 1.0)

Migration Notes:

• Old: /sc:pm, /sc:research, /sc:index-repo (27 commands)
• New: /pm, /research, /index-repo (3 plugin commands)
• Installation: Global ~/.claude/commands/ → Project-local .claude-plugin/
• Just cd to project directory and run claude

💡 Troubleshooting

Plugin not loading?

# Verify you're in the project directory
pwd  # Should show: /path/to/SuperClaude_Framework

# Check .claude-plugin/ exists
ls .claude-plugin/plugin.json

# Restart Claude Code in this directory
claude

Commands not working (/pm, /research, /index-repo)?

• Ensure you started claude from the SuperClaude_Framework directory
• Check for errors in Claude Code output
• Verify .claude-plugin/plugin.json has correct structure

Hot reload not working?

• Edit .claude-plugin/pm/index.ts
• Save file
• Changes should reflect immediately (no restart needed)

Development mode (for contributors):

# Install Python package for testing
make install
make verify
uv run pytest
