Quick Test
# Terminal: Verify installation
python3 -m SuperClaude --version
# Claude Code CLI verification: claude --version

Workflow: /sc:brainstorm "idea" → /sc:implement "feature" → /sc:test
🎯 Understanding SuperClaude Commands
How SuperClaude Works
SuperClaude provides behavioral context files that Claude Code reads to adopt specialized behaviors. When you type /sc:implement, Claude Code reads the implement.md context file and follows its behavioral instructions.
SuperClaude commands are NOT executed by software - they are context triggers that modify Claude Code's behavior through reading specialized instruction files from the framework.
Command Types:
- Slash Commands (
/sc:*): Trigger workflow patterns and behavioral modes - Agent Invocations (
@agent-*): Manually activate specific domain specialists - Flags (
--think,--safe-mode): Modify command behavior and depth
The Context Mechanism:
- User Input: You type
/sc:implement "auth system" - Context Loading: Claude Code reads
~/.claude/SuperClaude/Commands/implement.md - Behavior Adoption: Claude applies domain expertise, tool selection, and validation patterns
- Enhanced Output: Structured implementation with security considerations and best practices
Key Point: This creates sophisticated development workflows through context management rather than traditional software execution.
Installation vs Usage Commands
🖥️ Terminal Commands (Actual CLI software):
SuperClaude install- Installs the framework componentsSuperClaude update- Updates existing installationSuperClaude uninstall- Removes framework installationpython3 -m SuperClaude --version- Check installation status
💬 Claude Code Commands (Context triggers):
/sc:brainstorm- Activates requirements discovery context/sc:implement- Activates feature development context@agent-security- Activates security specialist context- All commands work inside Claude Code chat interface only
Quick Start: Try
/sc:brainstorm "your project idea"→/sc:implement "feature name"→/sc:testto experience the core workflow.
🧪 Testing Your Setup
🖥️ Terminal Verification (Run in Terminal/CMD)
# Verify SuperClaude is working (primary method)
python3 -m SuperClaude --version
# Example output: SuperClaude 4.0.9
# Claude Code CLI version check
claude --version
# Check installed components
python3 -m SuperClaude install --list-components | grep mcp
# Example output: Shows installed MCP components
💬 Claude Code Testing (Type in Claude Code Chat)
# Test basic /sc: command
/sc:brainstorm "test project"
# Example behavior: Interactive requirements discovery starts
# Test command help
/sc:help
# Example behavior: List of available commands
If tests fail: Check Installation Guide or Troubleshooting
📝 Command Quick Reference
| Command Type | Where to Run | Format | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🖥️ Installation | Terminal/CMD | SuperClaude [command] |
Setup and maintenance | SuperClaude install |
