📚 Claude Code and SuperClaude Tools Complete Reference Guide

Basic Development Workflow

# Start Claude Code
claude

# Load project context
/init

# Explore codebase
"Show me how authentication works"

# Plan changes
"Think hard about refactoring the auth module"

# Implement changes
"Refactor authentication to use JWT tokens"

# Test changes
/sc:test --coverage

# Commit with AI message
superclaude commit --interactive

Bug Fix Workflow

# Identify issue
/sc:troubleshoot "users can't login" --logs error.log

# Analyze affected code
/sc:analyze auth/ --focus security

# Fix with validation
/sc:improve auth.js --safe-mode --preview

# Verify fix
/sc:test auth/ --coverage

# Document changes
/sc:document --type changelog

Feature Implementation Workflow

# Design phase
/sc:design "payment processing system" --persona-architect

# Estimate effort
/sc:estimate "payment feature" --type complexity

# Implementation
/sc:implement payment --type service --with-tests --iterative

# Security review
/sc:analyze payment/ --focus security --persona-security

# Performance optimization
/sc:improve payment/ --focus performance

# Final documentation
/sc:document payment/ --format markdown

Code Review Workflow

# Load PR context
claude -p "Review PR #123"

# Deep analysis
/sc:analyze --focus quality --scope project

# Security check
/sc:analyze --focus security --persona-security

# Performance review
/sc:analyze --focus performance

# Generate review report
superclaude review --verbose

MCP Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],

Performance Tips

• Use /clear regularly to manage context
• Enable /compact for long sessions
• Use specific file references with @
• Leverage parallel processing with multiple terminals

Security Best Practices

• Never use --dangerously-skip-permissions outside containers
• Configure deny lists for sensitive files
• Use project-specific CLAUDE.md files
• Review /permissions regularly

Cost Optimization

• Track usage with /cost command
• Use /compact to reduce token usage
• Be specific in prompts to reduce iterations
• Use SuperClaude's --uc flag for large projects

Team Collaboration

• Share .claude/commands/ in version control
• Standardize CLAUDE.md templates
• Use consistent SuperClaude personas
• Document custom workflows in README
