  • Creates deployment and configuration guides
  • Includes troubleshooting and debugging information
  • Saves to docs/technical-docs.md

💡 superclaude brainstorm

AI-powered feature ideation and improvement suggestions.

Analyzes your codebase capabilities and suggests new features, optimizations, and architectural improvements.

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

📝 superclaude annotate

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.

superclaude annotate                  # Add AI notes to all commits
superclaude annotate --verbose        # See annotation process

Installation Details

Prerequisites

Install these first:

# 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.

GitHub Authentication Setup

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:

# 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)

brew install gh
gh auth login  # Choose SSH when prompted

Option 2: Switch to SSH

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
