19 Specialized Commands across four development phases:

  • Development - /build, /code, /debug for implementation
  • Analysis - /analyze, /optimize, /refactor, /review, /audit for code improvement
  • Operations - /deploy, /test, /monitor, /backup, /scale, /migrate for system management
  • Design - /design, /plan, /document, /workflow, /research for planning

9 Cognitive Personas that work as universal flags:

  • Specialists - architect, frontend, backend, security, analyzer, qa, performance, refactorer, mentor

/build --feature --tdd --backend

# Security-focused code review
/review --security

# Performance optimization
/optimize --performance

Why Use SuperClaude

Structured Development - Transforms Claude Code from general assistant to specialized development methodologist with consistent, focused responses.

Domain Expertise - Cognitive personas provide expert-level guidance for specific development areas without switching contexts.

Workflow Optimization - Specialized commands match your development phases, reducing ambiguity and improving task completion.

SuperClaude is particularly useful when you need Claude Code to think like a specialist rather than a generalist, especially for complex development tasks requiring domain expertise.

Configuration Framework

SuperClaude uses modular configuration with @include references, allowing flexible customization while maintaining structured development approaches.
