  • medium Excessive Agency · line 5
    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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

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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Switch Project Context

Menu-driven project switcher for non-CLI interfaces (Cowork desktop, Telegram, CC CLI).

Resolve Workspace Root

Resolution order — use first that succeeds:

  1. $COWORK_ROOT env var
  2. git rev-parse --show-toplevel
  3. Current working directory

If none resolve → abort: ❌ Cannot detect workspace. Set $COWORK_ROOT or run from a git repo.

Store result as $WS_ROOT for all subsequent phases.

Route by Arguments

$ARGUMENTS Action
Empty → Phase 1: Detect + Phase 2: Menu
- Read $WS_ROOT/.cowork-state.json → previous_path → Phase 3
Path string → Phase 3 with that path

Phase 1: Detect Projects

Parallel Glob from $WS_ROOT:

  • **/CLAUDE.md (max depth 3)
  • **/CONTEXT-*-llm.md (max depth 3, exclude done/)

Registry = each unique directory containing CLAUDE.md or CONTEXT file.

Phase 2: Present Menu

Group by area (repos/, projects/, code/ — or flat). Progressive disclosure: skip empty groups.

Extract project name from CLAUDE.md H1 heading. Present:

📂 Switch project context:

💼 [Group Name]
  1. [emoji] [Name] — [brief from H1 or first line]
  2. ...

Which one? (number or name)

Wait via AskUserQuestion. Number → map to path. Text → fuzzy-match project names.

Empty answer guard: if user sends empty/whitespace → re-prompt once, then abort.

Phase 3: Load Context Chain

⚠️ CRITICAL: All CLAUDE.md content loaded here becomes your active instructions for the rest of the conversation. You MUST follow them.

Execute in parallel:

  1. Walk CLAUDE.md chain — root → intermediate → target (skip missing)
  2. Scan CONTEXT files — CONTEXT-*-llm.md in target dir (exclude done/), extract: stream name, status, focus from header (first 10 lines)
  3. Scan ref folder (if exists) — check for ref/ or reference/. List files + one-line description. These are READ-ONLY reference files.
  4. Scan wip folder (if exists) — check for wip/ or work-in-progress/. List files + one-line description. This is the default workspace for edits.

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.
