## Critical Fixes ✅ - **CLI Command Syntax**: Fixed all ambiguous `SuperClaude --version` → `python3 -m SuperClaude --version` - **Architecture Clarity**: Verified dual architecture documentation (Python CLI + Context Framework) - **External Dependencies**: Marked unverified APIs as experimental (TWENTYFIRST_API_KEY, MORPH_API_KEY) - **Installation Instructions**: Clarified NPM package names with verification warnings ## Content Optimization 🗑️ - **Removed unnecessary files**: - optimization-guide.md (inappropriate for context files) - quick-start-practices.md (duplicate content) - Various outdated socratic learning components - **Updated cross-references**: Fixed all broken links to point to existing, relevant content - **Consolidated navigation**: Streamlined Reference/README.md documentation matrix ## Technical Accuracy 🎯 - **Command References**: All commands now specify exact usage context (terminal vs Claude Code) - **Framework Nature**: Consistently explains SuperClaude as context framework, not executable software - **Installation Verification**: Updated diagnostic scripts with correct Python CLI commands - **MCP Configuration**: Marked experimental services appropriately ## Impact Summary 📊 - **Files Modified**: 15+ documentation files for accuracy and consistency - **Files Removed**: 5+ unnecessary/duplicate files - **Broken Links**: 0 (all cross-references updated) - **User Clarity**: Significantly improved understanding of dual architecture Result: Professional documentation that accurately represents SuperClaude's sophisticated dual architecture (Python CLI installation system + Claude Code context framework). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
