š® Give Claude superpowers for GitHub workflows. Transform your development process with AI-powered commit messages, intelligent changelogs, automated documentation, and code reviews that actually understand your codebase.
``bash`
npm install -g superclaude
Prerequisites: Node.js 18+, Git, Claude Code, and optionally GitHub CLI.
`bash`
cd your-project
superclaude --verify # Check system dependencies and authentication
superclaude commit # AI generates perfect commit messages
superclaude changelog # Creates intelligent project history
superclaude readme # Writes comprehensive documentation
Validates your system setup and authentication status with intelligent caching to avoid repeated checks. Ensures Claude, Git, and GitHub authentication are properly configured.
`bash`
superclaude --verify # Force full dependency check
How it works:
- Validates Claude Code installation and authentication
- Checks Git configuration and user setup
- Verifies GitHub authentication (SSH keys or GitHub CLI)
- Uses intelligent 24-hour caching to avoid repeated checks
- Provides detailed feedback on any missing dependencies
Analyzes your git changes, understands the context, and generates conventional commit messages. No more "fix stuff" or "update files" - get meaningful commits that tell the story of your code.
`bash`
superclaude commit # Quick AI commit
superclaude commit --interactive # Review before committing
superclaude commit --verbose # See the AI thinking process
superclaude commit "Add user context" # Include additional context
How it works:
- Scans all changed files and understands the modifications
- Analyzes code patterns to determine commit type (feat/fix/refactor/etc.)
- Generates conventional commit format with clear descriptions
- Supports additional context to guide commit message generation
- Enhanced authentication validation for seamless push operations
- Automatically stages, commits, and pushes to your current branch
Creates human-readable changelogs that focus on user impact, not technical noise. Generates daily, weekly, and monthly summaries that actually make sense to stakeholders.
`bash`
superclaude changelog # Generate intelligent changelog
superclaude changelog --verbose # See detailed analysis process
How it works:
- Analyzes entire commit history with AI understanding
- Filters out trivial changes, focuses on meaningful updates
- Groups changes by time periods and impact
- Creates multiple changelog formats (daily/weekly/monthly)
- Writes in clear, non-technical language
Analyzes your codebase architecture and creates comprehensive README files with installation guides, usage examples, and feature descriptions.
`bash`
superclaude readme # Generate project README
How it works:
- Scans project structure and identifies key technologies
- Analyzes package.json and dependencies
- Understands code patterns and project purpose
- Creates professional documentation with examples
- Includes installation, usage, and contribution guides
Performs deep code analysis for security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and maintainability problems. Provides actionable recommendations for improvement.
`bash`
superclaude review # Comprehensive code analysis
superclaude review --verbose # Detailed security assessment
How it works:
- Analyzes entire codebase for patterns and anti-patterns
- Identifies security vulnerabilities and performance bottlenecks
- Evaluates code quality and maintainability metrics
- Provides specific, actionable improvement recommendations
- Saves detailed review to docs/code-review.md
Creates comprehensive technical guides covering architecture, components, deployment, and troubleshooting.
`bash`
superclaude docs # Generate technical documentation
How it works:
- Maps project architecture and component relationships
- Documents data flow and system interactions
- Creates deployment and configuration guides
- Includes troubleshooting and debugging information
- Saves to docs/technical-docs.md
Analyzes your codebase capabilities and suggests new features, optimizations, and architectural improvements.
`bash`
superclaude brainstorm # Get improvement ideas
How it works:
- Evaluates current codebase capabilities and patterns
- Identifies optimization opportunities and technical debt
- Suggests new features based on project direction
- Recommends architecture evolution strategies
- Saves ideas to docs/ideas.md
Analyzes every commit in your repository and adds AI-generated notes that explain what each change actually accomplished.
`bash`
superclaude annotate # Add AI notes to all commits
superclaude annotate --verbose # See annotation process
How it works:
- Processes each commit's diff and understands changes
- Generates detailed technical explanations
- Adds git notes with context and purpose
- Creates searchable commit history
- View with git log --show-notes
Add to your package.json for team workflows:
`json`
{
"scripts": {
"commit": "superclaude commit --interactive",
"release:prep": "superclaude changelog && superclaude readme",
"code:review": "superclaude review --verbose",
"docs:update": "superclaude docs"
}
}
bash

`Installation Details
$3
Install these first:
`bash
Required
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
Then run: claude (and complete authentication)
Recommended
brew install gh # GitHub CLI for enhanced workflows
gh auth login # Authenticate with GitHub
`System Requirements: Node.js 18+, Git configured with user info.

SuperClaude uses intelligent global authentication detection that works across all your repositories. The system automatically validates your GitHub access using either SSH keys or GitHub CLI authentication:
#### š SSH Authentication (Recommended)
If your remote uses
git@github.com:... format:
`bash
Generate SSH key (if you don't have one)
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your@email.com"Add public key to GitHub
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
Copy the output and add it at: https://github.com/settings/keys
Test SSH connection
ssh -T git@github.com
`#### š HTTPS Authentication
If your remote uses
https://github.com/... format, you have three options:Option 1: GitHub CLI (Recommended)
`bash
brew install gh
gh auth login # Choose SSH when prompted
`Option 2: Switch to SSH
`bash
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
`Option 3: Personal Access Token
- Create token at GitHub Settings
- Use token as password when git prompts for credentials
> š” Why SSH is Better: SSH eliminates password prompts, is more secure, and provides seamless authentication. SuperClaude will automatically detect your setup and guide you through any authentication issues.
Troubleshooting
$3
Command not found
`bash
npm install -g superclaude
Ensure npm global bin is in your PATH
`Claude Code not authenticated
`bash
claude
Follow authentication prompts (Console/Pro/Enterprise)
`Git not configured
`bash
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your@email.com"
`GitHub CLI issues (optional)
`bash
brew install gh # macOS recommended
gh auth login # Authenticate with GitHub
`$3
Use --verbose for detailed output and --verify for dependency checking:
`bash
superclaude commit --verbose # Shows step-by-step AI reasoning
superclaude --verify # Force full system verification
superclaude --verify --verbose # Detailed dependency diagnostics
