SuperClaude Framework
A set of /sc slash commands, agents and behavior modes for Claude Code, from brainstorming and research to implementation and tests
Install
pipx install superclaude
superclaude installRestart Claude Code after install. Check with superclaude doctor.
This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.
What it does
SuperClaude adds ready-made /sc commands to Claude Code for common development stages: research, brainstorming, implementation, testing and project management. Specialized agents and modes that adjust the model's behavior per task come with the commands. A separate command installs recommended MCP servers such as Tavily for web search and Context7 for docs. The installer can list what is installed and check the setup.
Who it is for. For Claude Code users who want a ready structured command set instead of writing their own prompts.
Good fit when
- You want a command set covering the whole development cycle quickly
- The team needs a shared way of working with the agent
- You want ready research and brainstorming flows
Not a fit when
- You already have your own commands and CLAUDE.md and want to avoid conflicting instructions
- You want minimal context without extra instructions

Not affiliated with Anthropic. It currently installs as slash commands through a Python package; the /plugin system is planned for version 5 and not released yet. Some research MCP servers such as Tavily need their own keys and foreign services.
How to disable. Remove the installed SuperClaude commands from the Claude Code commands directory and run pipx uninstall superclaude.
Security check
- Adds instructions that change Claude Code behavior across projects
- Can install third-party MCP servers
README in short
The README presents SuperClaude as a configuration framework that adds commands, agents and modes to Claude Code. The main install is pipx plus superclaude install, with a script from a repository clone as an alternative. It covers optional MCP servers and how to add them, plus plans for a plugin version. Sibling projects exist for Gemini and Qwen. MIT licensed.
FAQ
