Paul O'Reilly 143b32597e Add claude-profile engagement mode picker with statusline and session-start integration
- claude-profile: phase 1-3 picker (profile, mode, launch) with preset support,
  dryrun, WezTerm theming, and --append-system-prompt mode body injection
- 5 mode files (chat/quick/deep/hybrid/orch) with YAML frontmatter + prose body;
  new escalates_to field drives statusline →Opus arrow for deep and hybrid
- statusline.sh reads CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/active-mode.env to show
  [Sonnet→Opus] deep · topic format when launched via claude-profile
- Root CLAUDE.md session-start: auto-selects project from cwd or CLAUDE_PROJECT
  in active-mode.env, skipping the interactive picker when context is clear
- Spec, tests (37 assertions, 9 test files, all passing), context docs, and
  preset example included

small-scripts

A collection of small, standalone utility scripts for daily use. Scripts are symlinked into ~/sbin for PATH availability.

Approach

This project uses spec-driven development (OpenSpec) as a testbed for agent-driven development and refinement:

  1. Every script starts with a spec in specs/
  2. Every script supports --dryrun to preview actions without side effects
  3. Every script has a test in tests/ that validates dryrun behaviour against the spec

Scripts

Script Purpose Status
git-status-report Recursive git repo status with diff stats Done
md-to-docx Markdown to DOCX conversion Done
claude-profile Claude Code profile + engagement-mode launcher Done
unreflected-logs Scan projects for unreflected session logs Done
validate-skill Validate SKILL.md files against known Claude Code restrictions Done

Engagement modes (claude-profile)

claude-profile launches Claude Code with both a configuration profile (selecting which ~/.claude-* directory to use) and an engagement mode that bundles a driver model, subagent policy, async tolerance, and workflow stance:

Mode Driver For
chat Haiku No project, just conversation
quick Sonnet Single small focused job, fully synchronous
deep Sonnet (Opus via named workflows) Hard design or debugging, plan + spec enforced
hybrid Haiku (Opus/Sonnet on demand) Long sessions, escalates only when needed
orch Sonnet Decompose work and dispatch container agents

Mode definitions live in data/claude-profile/modes/<name>.md — YAML frontmatter (machine-parsed) plus a markdown body that becomes part of the system prompt.

claude-profile                              # interactive picker
claude-profile oreillyit --mode deep        # explicit profile + mode
claude-profile --preset deep-cluster        # named preset from presets.yaml
claude-profile --dryrun [...]               # show resolved values, do not launch

Copy data/claude-profile/presets.yaml.example to $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/presets.yaml to set up named presets.
