Hi Team,
when following the recommended SuperClaude setup via pipx (which is my only option otherwise I get the "externally managed setup" error), it only installs the /sc:* commands, but not the agents.

When following the troubleshooting steps, this is the output I'm getting:

# Verify SuperClaude installation system is available
python3 -m SuperClaude --version
# Expected: SuperClaude Framework installation help
# Actual: /opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3.14: No module named SuperClaude

# Verify Claude Code CLI integration
claude --version
# Expected: Claude Code version info
# Actual: 1.0.112 (Claude Code)

# Check if context files were installed
ls ~/.claude/
# Expected: CLAUDE.md, FLAGS.md, RULES.md, agents/, commands/, modes/
# Actual: commands        ide             plugins         projects        settings.json   shell-snapshots todos

# Verify main context file
head ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md
# Expected: Should show import statements
# Actual: /Users/<my user name>/.claude/CLAUDE.md: No such file or directory

# Check all directories exist
❌ agents directory missing
✅ commands directory exists
     1
❌ modes directory missing

No count is shown for the agents/modes because those directories were never created

# Should have 14 agents
ls ~/.claude/agents/*.md | wc -l
zsh: no matches found: /Users/<username>/.claude/agents/*.md 0

# Should have 21 commands
ls ~/.claude/commands/*.md | wc -l
zsh: no matches found: /Users/<username>/.claude/commands/*.md 0

# Should have 5 modes
ls ~/.claude/modes/*.md | wc -l
zsh: no matches found: /Users/<username>/.claude/modes/*.md 0

I've tried doing a complete reinstall aswell, and the same issue persists. I can use the commands but the agents/modes don't get created/don't exist. Can someone help me with this?
