Here are common collaboration patterns: ### Design & Implementation ```bash /sc:design user-dashboard # Auto-activates: ๐Ÿ—๏ธ architect (system design) + ๐ŸŽจ frontend (UI design) ``` ### Security Review ```bash /sc:analyze --focus security api/ # Auto-activates: ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ security (primary) + โš™๏ธ backend (API expertise) ``` ### Performance Optimization ```bash /sc:improve --focus performance slow-app/ # Auto-activates: โšก performance (primary) + ๐ŸŽจ frontend (if UI) or โš™๏ธ backend (if API) ``` ### Quality Improvement ```bash /sc:improve --focus quality legacy-code/ # Auto-activates: ๐Ÿ”„ refactorer (primary) + ๐Ÿงช qa (testing) + ๐Ÿ—๏ธ architect (design) ``` ### Documentation & Learning ```bash /sc:document complex-feature --type guide # Auto-activates: โœ๏ธ scribe (writing) + ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿซ mentor (educational approach) ``` ## Practical Examples ๐Ÿ’ก ### Before/After: Generic vs Persona-Specific **Before** (generic): ```bash /sc:analyze auth.js # โ†’ Basic analysis, generic advice ``` **After** (security persona): ```bash /sc:analyze auth.js --persona-security # โ†’ Security-focused analysis # โ†’ Threat modeling perspective # โ†’ OWASP compliance checking # โ†’ Vulnerability pattern detection ``` ### Auto-Activation in Action **Frontend work detection**: ```bash /sc:build react-components/ # Auto-activates: ๐ŸŽจ frontend # โ†’ UI-focused build optimization # โ†’ Accessibility checking # โ†’ Performance budgets # โ†’ Bundle size analysis ``` **Complex debugging**: ```bash /sc:troubleshoot "payment processing randomly fails" # Auto-activates: ๐Ÿ” analyzer # โ†’ Systematic investigation approach # โ†’ Evidence collection methodology # โ†’ Pattern analysis # โ†’ Root cause identification ``` ### Manual Override Examples **Force security perspective**: ```bash /sc:analyze react-app/ --persona-security # Even though it's frontend code, analyze from security perspective # โ†’ XSS vulnerability checking # โ†’ Authentication flow analysis # โ†’ Data exposure risks ``` **Get architectural advice on small changes**: ```bash /sc:improve small-utility.js --persona-architect # Apply architectural thinking to small code # โ†’ Design pattern opportunities # โ†’ Future extensibility # โ†’ Coupling analysis ``` ## Advanced Usage ๐Ÿš€ ### Manual Persona Control **When to override auto-activation**: - You want a different perspective on the same problem - Auto-activation chose wrong persona for your specific needs - You're learning and want to see how different experts approach problems **How to override**: ```bash # Explicit persona selection /sc:analyze frontend-code/ --persona-security # Security view of frontend /sc:improve backend-api/ --persona-performance # Performance view of backend # Multiple persona flags (last one wins) /sc:analyze --persona-frontend --persona-security # Uses security persona ``` ### Persona-Specific Flags and Settings **Security persona + validation**: ```bash /sc:analyze --persona-security --focus security --validate # โ†’ Maximum security focus with validation ``` **Performance persona + benchmarking**: ```bash /sc:test --persona-performance --benchmark --focus performance # โ†’ Performance-focused testing with metrics ``` **Mentor persona + detailed explanations**: ```bash /sc:explain complex-concept --persona-mentor --verbose # โ†’ Educational explanation with full detail ``` ### Cross-Domain Expertise **When you need multiple perspectives**: ```bash # Sequential analysis with different personas /sc:analyze --persona-security api/auth.js /sc:analyze --persona-performance api/auth.js /sc:analyze --persona-refactorer api/auth.js # Or let SuperClaude coordinate automatically /sc:analyze --focus quality api/auth.js # Auto-coordinates: security + performance + refactorer insights ``` ## Common Workflows by Persona ๐Ÿ’ผ ### ๐Ÿ—๏ธ Architect Workflows ```bash # System design /sc:design microservices-architecture --persona-architect /sc:estimate "migrate monolith to microservices" --persona-architect # Architecture review /sc:analyze --focus architecture --persona-architect large-system/ /sc:review --persona-architect critical-components/ ``` ### ๐ŸŽจ Frontend Workflows ```bash # Component development /sc:build dashboard-components/ --persona-frontend /sc:improve --focus accessibility --persona-frontend ui/ # Performance optimization /sc:analyze --focus performance --persona-frontend bundle/ /sc:test --persona-frontend --focus performance ``` ### โš™๏ธ Backend Workflows ```bash # API development /sc:design rest-api --persona-backend /sc:build api-endpoints/ --persona-backend # Reliability improvements /sc:improve --focus reliability --persona-backend services/ /sc:analyze --persona-backend --focus security api/ ``` ### ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Security Workflows ```bash # Security assessment /sc:scan --persona-security --focus security entire-app/ /sc:analyze --persona-security auth-flow/ # Vulnerability fixing /sc:improve --focus security --persona-security vulnerable-code/ /sc:review --persona-security --focus security critical-paths/ ``` ### ๐Ÿ” Analyzer Workflows ```bash # Bug investigation /sc:troubleshoot "intermittent failures" --persona-analyzer /sc:analyze --persona-analyzer --focus debugging problem-area/ # System understanding /sc:explain --persona-analyzer complex-system/ /sc:load --persona-analyzer unfamiliar-codebase/ ``` ## Quick Reference ๐Ÿ“‹ ### Persona Cheat Sheet | Persona | Best For | Auto-Activates On | Manual Flag | |---------|----------|-------------------|-------------| | ๐Ÿ—๏ธ architect | System design, architecture | "architecture", "design", "scalability" | `--persona-architect` | | ๐ŸŽจ frontend | UI/UX, accessibility | "component", "responsive", "UI" | `--persona-frontend` | | โš™๏ธ backend | APIs, databases, reliability | "API", "database", "service" | `--persona-backend` | | ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ security | Security, compliance | "security", "vulnerability", "auth" | `--persona-security` | | โšก performance | Optimization, speed | "performance", "optimization", "slow" | `--persona-performance` | | ๐Ÿ” analyzer | Debugging, investigation | "analyze", "debug", "investigate" | `--persona-analyzer` | | ๐Ÿงช qa | Testing, quality | "test", "quality", "validation" | `--persona-qa` | | ๐Ÿ”„ refactorer | Code cleanup, refactoring | "refactor", "cleanup", "quality" | `--persona-refactorer` | | ๐Ÿš€ devops | Deployment, infrastructure | "deploy", "infrastructure", "CI/CD" | `--persona-devops` | | ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿซ mentor | Learning, explanation | "explain", "learn", "understand" | `--persona-mentor` | | โœ๏ธ scribe | Documentation, writing | "document", "write", "guide" | `--persona-scribe` | ### Most Useful Combinations **Security-focused development**: ```bash --persona-security --focus security --validate ``` **Performance optimization**: ```bash --persona-performance --focus performance --benchmark ``` **Learning and understanding**: ```bash --persona-mentor --verbose --explain ``` **Quality improvement**: ```bash --persona-refactorer --focus quality --safe-mode ``` **Professional documentation**: ```bash --persona-scribe --type guide --detailed ``` ### Auto-Activation Triggers **Strong triggers** (usually work well): - "security audit" โ†’ ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ security - "UI component" โ†’ ๐ŸŽจ frontend - "API design" โ†’ โš™๏ธ backend - "system architecture" โ†’ ๐Ÿ—๏ธ architect - "debug issue" โ†’ ๐Ÿ” analyzer **Moderate triggers** (often work): - "improve performance" โ†’ โšก performance - "write tests" โ†’ ๐Ÿงช qa - "clean up code" โ†’ ๐Ÿ”„ refactorer - "deployment issue" โ†’ ๐Ÿš€ devops **Context-dependent triggers** (varies): - "document this" โ†’ โœ๏ธ scribe or ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿซ mentor (depends on audience) - "analyze this" โ†’ ๐Ÿ” analyzer, ๐Ÿ—๏ธ architect, or domain specialist (depends on content) ## Troubleshooting Persona Issues ๐Ÿšจ ### Common Problems **"Wrong persona activated"** - Use explicit persona flags: `--persona-security` - Check if your keywords triggered auto-activation - Try more specific language in your request **"Persona doesn't seem to work"** - Verify persona name spelling: `--persona-frontend` not `--persona-fronted` - Some personas work better with specific commands - Try combining with relevant flags: `--focus security --persona-security` **"Want multiple perspectives"** - Run same command with different personas manually - Use broader focus flags: `--focus quality` (activates multiple personas) - Let SuperClaude coordinate automatically with complex requests **"Persona is too focused"** - Try a different persona that's more general - Use mentor persona for broader explanations - Combine with `--verbose` for more context ### When to Override Auto-Activation **Override when**: - Auto-activation chose the wrong specialist - You want to learn from a different perspective - Working outside typical domain boundaries - Need specific expertise for edge cases **How to override effectively**: ```bash # Force specific perspective /sc:analyze frontend-code/ --persona-security # Security view of frontend # Combine multiple perspectives /sc:analyze api/ --persona-security /sc:analyze api/ --persona-performance # Run separately for different views # Use general analysis /sc:analyze --no-persona # Disable persona auto-activation ``` ## Tips for Effective Persona Usage ๐Ÿ’ก ### Getting Started (The Honest Way) 1. **Just ignore personas completely at first** - Auto-activation handles everything 2. **Use basic commands normally** - `/analyze`, `/build`, `/improve` work great without persona knowledge 3. **Notice what happens** - You'll see different types of expertise emerge naturally 4. **Trust the automation** - SuperClaude usually picks better experts than manual selection ### Getting Advanced (If You Want To) 1. **Experiment with manual override** - Try `--persona-security` on frontend code for different perspectives 2. **Learn the team members** - Read about individual personas when you get curious 3. **Watch persona combinations** - See how multiple experts collaborate on complex problems 4. **Use for learning** - Ask different personas the same question to see different approaches ### Best Practices (Keep It Simple) - **Let auto-activation work first** - Override only when you want different perspectives - **Don't overthink it** - The right experts show up when needed - **Use for experimentation** - Try different personas on the same problem for learning - **Trust the intelligence** - Auto-activation learns from patterns and keeps getting better --- ## Final Notes ๐Ÿ“ **The real truth about personas** ๐Ÿ’ฏ: - **Auto-activation usually works pretty well** compared to trying to pick experts yourself - **You can completely ignore this guide** and still often get helpful expert assistance - **Personas exist to help you** - not to create complexity you need to manage - **Learning happens naturally** through use, not through studying persona descriptions ๐Ÿ˜Š **Don't feel overwhelmed by the team** ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ: - You don't need to know what each persona does - SuperClaude usually handles expert selection reasonably well - The detailed descriptions above are for curiosity, not necessity - You're not missing anything by letting auto-activation work **When you might manually choose personas**: - **Curiosity** - "What would a security expert think about this frontend code?" - **Learning** - "How would different experts approach this problem?" - **Experimentation** - "Let me see this through a performance lens" - **Override** - "I want architectural advice on this small utility function" **Keep it simple** ๐ŸŽฏ: - Use normal commands like `/analyze some-code/` - Let the right experts automatically show up - Manual persona control is available when you want it, not because you need it - Focus on your work, not on managing who helps you --- *Behind all this apparent complexity of having 11 specialists, SuperClaude tries to be simple to use. Just start coding and helpful experts usually show up when needed! ๐Ÿš€*
