## Description

Isolates profiles for multi-provider setup and switching models in separate terminal windows (Kimi, MiniMax, DeepSeek, GLM, StepFun, Anthropic). Use for provider switching, csk/csd/csg aliases, CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, ~/.claude-profiles, profile drift (missing skills/hooks, symlinks, settings), context-window setup ([1m], CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS), or reducing startup context from preloaded MCP tool schemas.

# Claude Code Profiles and Local Skill Activation

## Overview

This skill creates an isolated-but-shared profile system for Claude Code CLI. Each profile gets its own `.claude.json` state file (provider credentials and session history) while sharing skills, projects, hook scripts, agents, and installed plugin state across all profiles, and converging each profile's `settings.json` (hook registration, marketplaces, env feature flags, permissions, preferences) plus the **behavior slice of its `.claude.json`** (e.g. `workflowSizeGuideline`) from the default profile, so the only intended difference between profiles is the model/provider.

The result: you can open one terminal with Kimi, another with DeepSeek, another with Anthropic, each running as a fully independent Claude Code process, without configuration bleed.

For reducing fixed startup context from preloaded MCP tool schemas, read
[references/mcp-startup-context.md](references/mcp-startup-context.md). It owns
same-mode measurement, active-profile discovery, provider compatibility checks,
reversible server suppression, and fresh-process acceptance.
