Claude Code Rites Swapper

VerifiedCaution

This skill allows users to switch between predefined sets of Claude Code roles, called rites. It simplifies changing from a development workflow (dev-pack) to documentation (doc-pack) or code quality (hygiene) with a simple /team command. Useful when quickly adapting Claude's behavior to different tasks.

Automated summary

Switches the active Claude Code rite to change between predefined sets of roles (development, documentation, code quality).

Strengths

  • Simplifies switching between predefined workflows
  • Built-in script handles validation and backup
  • Clear commands: list, query, switch

Limitations

  • Depends on an external shell script
  • Rites are limited to what the script defines
  • May require initial setup ($ROSTER_HOME)
When to use it

When you need to quickly change from one development context to another (e.g., from coding to documentation).

When not to use it

If you need highly customized workflows not covered by the available rites or prefer manual switching.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score85/100

The skill executes a shell script from a user-defined location, which introduces risk if the script is compromised or malicious. However, the described functionality (swapping rites) is legitimate, and the command is user-initiated, so the risk is moderate.

Findings
  • •Skill invokes an external shell script via Bash tool, which could perform arbitrary actions. The script's contents are not provided and cannot be audited.
  • •The script path uses an environment variable ($ROSTER_HOME) that could be altered, leading to unintended script execution.

/team dev-pack

Rite Swapper

Swap Claude Code rites for different workflows.

Usage

/team                 # Show current active rite
/team <rite-name>     # Switch to specified rite
/team --list          # List all available rites

Available Rites

  • dev-pack: Development workflow (Architect, Principal Engineer, QA Adversary)
  • doc-pack: Documentation workflow (Technical Writer, API Documenter, README Author)
  • hygiene: Code quality workflow (Refactorer, Linter Advisor, Dependency Auditor)

Implementation

This skill invokes the swap-team.sh script located at $ROSTER_HOME/.

Instructions

When the user invokes /team, execute the swap-team.sh script with the provided arguments:

  1. If no arguments provided: Query current rite
  2. If --list or -l: List available rites
  3. If <rite-name> provided: Swap to that rite

Always use the Bash tool to execute:

$ROSTER_HOME/swap-team.sh [args]

Display the script output to the user. The script handles all validation, backup, and swap operations.

Error Handling

The script returns appropriate exit codes:

  • 0: Success
  • 1: Invalid arguments
  • 2: Validation failure (rite doesn't exist)
  • 3: Backup failure
  • 4: Swap failure

If the script fails, display the error message and suggest next steps based on the output.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/claude-code-rites-swapper-mma3js7v/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/claude-code-rites-swapper-mma3js7v' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/claude-code-rites-swapper-mma3js7v/download' --output '.skill-downloads/claude-code-rites-swapper-mma3js7v/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/claude-code-rites-swapper-mma3js7v/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/claude-code-rites-swapper-mma3js7v/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

This file does not provide a usable name/description header for this native procedure. It remains available to download and inspect; use the manual method below.

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/claude-code-rites-swapper-mma3js7v/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
