Ready to get 99.9% instruction reliability and cut your token costs by 20-30%? Let's get you set up.

This guide takes about 5 minutes. By the end, you'll have SuperClawd connected to Claude Code and your first skill ready to use.

What You'll Need

  • Claude Code (Anthropic's official CLI) installed
  • Node.js installed on your machine
  • 5 minutes

Step 1: Create Your Account (1 minute)

  1. Go to app.superclawd.com
  2. Sign up with your email or GitHub
  3. Create your first workspace (e.g., "My Workspace" or your company name)

You'll land on your workspace dashboard.

Step 2: Install the CLI (30 seconds)

Open your terminal and run:

BASH
npm install -g superclawd

Verify it installed:

BASH
superclawd --version

Step 3: Log In (1 minute)

Connect this machine to your workspace:

BASH
superclawd login

This opens your browser. Approve the request on Settings → Devices, and the CLI registers a credential for this machine automatically — no copying or pasting anything.

Logging in once is enough. Your machine stays connected until you revoke it under Settings → Devices. To point the CLI at a different workspace later, run superclawd and select a workspace in the startup picker — press d to make it your default.

Step 4: Create Your First Skill (1 minute)

Back in the SuperClawd dashboard:

  1. Click Skills → Create Skill
  2. Give it a name: "TypeScript Standards"
  3. Add your instructions:
MARKDOWN
When writing TypeScript code:
- Use strict mode
- Prefer interfaces over types for object shapes
- Use explicit return types on functions
- Avoid `any` - use `unknown` if type is truly unknown
- Use const assertions for literal types
  1. Save the skill

You're Done!

From your project directory, launch Claude Code through SuperClawd:

BASH
superclawd

This starts Claude Code with your workspace's skills, agents, and standards already loaded.

Verify It's Working

In Claude Code, start a conversation and ask:

"Write a function that fetches user data from an API"

SuperClawd automatically applies your TypeScript Standards skill. You should see the output following your conventions.

What's Next?

Add More Skills

Create skills for different aspects of your workflow:

  • React Patterns - Component conventions
  • Testing Guidelines - How to write tests
  • Code Review - What to check in reviews
  • Security Rules - Vulnerabilities to avoid

Invite Your Team

Go to Settings → Team to invite colleagues. They'll get access to all workspace skills instantly.

Explore Actions

SuperClawd supports different actions:

  • Code - Applied when writing code
  • Review - Applied when reviewing code
  • Test - Applied when writing tests

Assign skills to specific actions for more targeted instruction delivery.

Quick Tips

Keep Skills Focused

One topic per skill. Instead of a massive "All Standards" skill, create:

  • TypeScript Standards
  • React Patterns
  • API Design
  • Error Handling

Focused skills load faster and stay more relevant.

Use Clear, Actionable Language

Good: "Use explicit return types on all exported functions"

Bad: "Try to add types when possible"

The clearer your instructions, the better the AI follows them.

Update Skills as You Learn

Notice the AI making a mistake repeatedly? Add a rule to prevent it. Your skills should evolve with your team's learnings.

Troubleshooting

"Authentication failed"

  • Re-run superclawd login to reconnect this machine
  • Ensure the CLI is installed: superclawd --version
  • Check that this machine still appears under Settings → Devices (if it was revoked, just log in again)

Skills aren't being applied

  • Check that skills exist in your workspace
  • Verify the skill is assigned to the correct action
  • Restart the session by relaunching superclawd

Summary

In 5 minutes, you've:

  1. Created a SuperClawd account
  2. Installed the CLI
  3. Logged in and registered this machine as a device
  4. Created your first skill

You now have 99.9% reliable instruction delivery and 20-30% token savings compared to static instruction files.
