SuperClaude


🔮 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.

Quick Install

``bash
npm install -g superclaude
`

Prerequisites: Node.js 18+, Git, Claude Code, and optionally GitHub CLI.

Quick Start

`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
`

Commands

$3

Smart dependency and authentication checking.

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

$3

AI-powered commits that actually make sense.

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

$3

Turn raw commit history into readable project stories.

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

$3

Professional documentation that writes itself.

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

$3

Code reviews that catch what humans miss.

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

$3

Technical documentation that developers actually read.

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

$3

AI-powered feature ideation and improvement suggestions.

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

$3

Add intelligent context to your entire git history.

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

Project Integration

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"
}
}
`

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.

$3

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:

#### 🔐 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
`

#### 🌐 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

> 💡 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
`

$3
