superclaude SKILL.md skillA

superclaude from av/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add av/skills/superclaude@git:20260518.a205f99

Pins git:20260518.a205f99 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Configure and operate the Claude Code harness for large codebases. Builds CLAUDE.md hierarchies, scoped test/lint commands, file exclusions, codebase maps, hooks, skills, subagent strategies, and LSP/MCP wiring. Use when setting up Claude Code for a new repo, auditing an existing configuration, onboarding a team, or scaling from single-developer to org-wide deployment. Triggers on "set up Claude Code for this repo", "optimize my Claude Code config", "audit my CLAUDE.md…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Superclaude

Configure the Claude Code harness so it works as well as the model. The harness — CLAUDE.md files, hooks, skills, plugins, LSP, MCP servers, subagents — determines whether Claude Code is productive or fumbling. This skill builds and tunes that harness for large codebases.

## When to Load

- Setting up Claude Code for a new repo or monorepo
- Auditing an existing Claude Code configuration
- Onboarding a team or org onto Claude Code
- Codebase navigation is slow or inaccurate
- Claude keeps opening wrong files, running wrong tests, or missing context
- Scaling from one developer to many

## The Harness

Seven components, loaded in priority order. Each has a specific job. Misplacing work between them is the most common configuration mistake.

| # | Component | Loads | Best For | Common Mistake |
|---|-----------|-------|----------|----------------|
| 1 | CLAUDE.md | Every session | Project conventions, codebase layout, critical gotchas | Stuffing reusable expertise that belongs in a skill |
| 2 | Hooks | On events | Deterministic automation, capturing learnings, enforcing rules | Using prompts for things that should run automatically |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add av/skills/superclaude@sha256:62fefe0c376793f1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260518.a205f99, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
