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.

Our review

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.

Examples

Show current rite
/team
List all rites
/team --list
Switch to development workflow
/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.
