Behavior

Manual Switch

When manually switching to a provider:

1. Validates provider is configured (API key present)
2. Moves the selected provider to the top of the priority list
3. Updates active provider immediately
4. Logs the switch for auditing

Auto-Switch Mode

Mode	Behavior
on (default)	Automatically switch to next provider when limits reached
off	Stay on current provider even if limits exceeded (may cause errors)

Implementation

const { loadConfig, saveConfig, PROVIDER_MODELS } = require('${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/providers.js');

const config = loadConfig();

// Handle auto-switch toggle
if (args.auto) {
  config.autoSwitch = args.auto.toLowerCase() === 'on';
  saveConfig(config);
  console.log(`Auto-switching ${config.autoSwitch ? 'enabled' : 'disabled'}`);
  return;
}

// Handle manual provider switch
const provider = args.provider?.toLowerCase();
if (!provider) {
  console.log('Current provider:', config.providerPriority[0]);
  console.log('Usage: /provider-switch <provider>');
  return;
}

if (!PROVIDER_MODELS[provider]) {
  console.error(`Unknown provider: ${provider}`);
  console.log('Available:', Object.keys(PROVIDER_MODELS).join(', '));
  return;
}

// Check if API key is configured
const envKey = PROVIDER_MODELS[provider].envKey;
if (!process.env[envKey]) {
  console.error(`Provider ${provider} not configured. Missing ${envKey}`);
  return;
}

// Move provider to top of priority list
const newPriority = [provider, ...config.providerPriority.filter(p => p !== provider)];
config.providerPriority = newPriority;
saveConfig(config);

console.log(`Switched to ${PROVIDER_MODELS[provider].name}`);
console.log(`New priority: ${newPriority.join(' → ')}`);
