TheophilusChinomona Context Switching Skill
Purpose
Dynamically adjust Claude's behavior based on the current task mode.
Modes
| Mode | Context File | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| dev | contexts/dev.md |
Write code, run tests, commit often |
| review | contexts/review.md |
Read thoroughly, find issues, suggest fixes |
| research | contexts/research.md |
Explore, understand, document findings |
Activation
- User says "switch to review mode" or "let's review this"
- User says "research how X works" or "investigate Y"
- User says "switch to dev mode" or "let's build this"
- Task type changes mid-session
Example
User: "let's review this PR"
→ Claude loads contexts/review.md
→ Behavior shifts to thorough reading, issue prioritization
→ Output grouped by file, severity first
User: "switch to dev mode, let's build the feature"
→ Claude loads contexts/dev.md
→ Behavior shifts to writing code, running tests
→ Output focuses on implementation
How It Works
- Read the appropriate context file from
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/contexts/ - Load its behavior rules into working memory
- Apply those rules until the mode changes
Anti-Patterns
- Do NOT stay in research mode when the user wants to build
- Do NOT switch modes without telling the user
- Do NOT load multiple modes simultaneously
