max-switch

A command that changes which existing MAX project is marked as active.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to switch by project name, list projects with their stage and recent activity, or find the correct name when a project cannot be found.
Why use it?
It prevents work from being directed at the wrong project and shows available projects when you need to choose one.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 8 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 299 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

max-switch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/max-switch

Switch the active MAX project to a different existing project.

Behavior

  1. If project name provided:

    • Validate the project exists under patches/{name}/
    • Call set_active_project(name, base_dir) to update .active-project.json
    • Display confirmation with the project's current status summary (stage, progress, last activity)
  2. If no project name provided:

    • List all available projects via list_projects(base_dir)
    • Display each project with its current stage and last activity
    • Ask the user to choose which project to switch to
  3. Error handling:

    • If the named project does not exist, show available projects and suggest correct names
    • If no projects exist at all, suggest /max-new to create one

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
