SuperClaude
Configuration framework that supercharges Claude Code with slash commands, cognitive personas, and dev methodologies
About
SuperClaude is a meta-programming configuration framework for Claude Code — a skill-style package that enhances Claude Code with 30 specialized slash commands (/sc:research, /sc:implement, /sc:test, /sc:pm, ...), 20 domain-specialist agents, 7 behavioral modes (brainstorming, deep research, orchestration, token-efficiency, ...), and optional integrations with 8 MCP servers (Context7, Sequential-Thinking, Serena, Playwright, Magic, Morphllm, Tavily, Chrome DevTools).
It is behavioral instruction injection into Claude Code, not a standalone runtime: it installs framework files, commands, agents, and settings into your '~/.claude/' configuration. The current stable version is v4.3.0; a v5 TypeScript plugin system is announced with no ETA. Note the requirements: you need Claude Code itself installed and authenticated (a separate paid product), and optional MCP servers require their own API keys. We did not hands-on verify the exact command/agent counts or the claimed token-savings — those come from the project's docs.
What it can do
- • 30 specialized slash commands (/sc:research, /sc:brainstorm, /sc:implement, /sc:test, /sc:pm, ...) for structured dev workflows
- • 20 domain-specialist agents (product, security, research, frontend, and more)
- • 7 behavioral modes including brainstorming, deep research, orchestration, and token-efficiency
- • Optional integration with 8 MCP servers: Context7, Sequential-Thinking, Serena, Playwright, Magic, Morphllm, Tavily, Chrome DevTools
- • 'superclaude doctor' diagnostics and 'superclaude install --list' to audit installed components
- • Local-only metrics in '.superclaude_metrics/' (no telemetry phone-home found)
- • v5 TypeScript plugin system in development — announced, no ETA
Setup
- Install and authenticate Claude Code first (separate product, paid subscription).
- Install Python 3.10+ and pipx.
- Install from PyPI: 'pipx install superclaude'. (Alternative: 'git clone https://github.com/SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Framework.git && cd SuperClaude_Framework && ./install.sh'.)
- Install the commands into Claude Code: 'superclaude install' (installs all 30 slash commands).
- Optionally install MCP servers: 'superclaude mcp --list' to see available servers, 'superclaude mcp' for the interactive wizard, or 'superclaude mcp --servers tavily --servers context7' for specific ones.
- Verify with 'superclaude install --list' and 'superclaude doctor', then restart Claude Code. Use '/sc' to list all commands; try '/sc:research', '/sc:brainstorm', '/sc:implement', '/sc:test', '/sc:pm'.
Prerequisites
Claude Code installed and authenticated (paid subscription); Python 3.10+ with pipx (or pip); Git for the direct-install route; optional third-party API keys for MCP servers (e.g. Tavily).
