About C3P
C3P is claude-code-config-profiles — a tiny CLI that lets you keep
multiple named configurations for Claude Code’s
.claude/ directory and swap between them atomically.
Why it exists
Section titled “Why it exists”Claude Code reads project context from .claude/: agent definitions,
slash-command definitions, project rules in CLAUDE.md. Editing those
files in place is fine for one project with one set of instructions, but
real workflows aren’t like that:
- A solo dev wants a verbose profile with debug agents while exploring, and a quiet profile for shipping.
- A team wants one canonical, version-controlled profile shared across every machine and CI runner.
- A pipeline wants deterministic, drift-proof swaps so the agent’s behaviour can’t be silently affected by a stray uncommitted edit.
C3P keeps profiles as source of truth (under .claude-profiles/) and treats
.claude/ as a regenerated artifact, with a drift gate
between you and any unintended overwrite.
Project status
Section titled “Project status”C3P is on the 0.x line. The CLI surface is stable; non-breaking improvements
land on main and ship via release-please. See the
CHANGELOG
for the canonical history and the latest version.
How to contribute
Section titled “How to contribute”The project lives on GitHub at github.com/htxryan/claude-code-config-profiles. The fastest way to help:
- Try C3P in a real project and file an issue if something feels off.
- Read
CONTRIBUTING.mdbefore sending a PR — it covers the test/lint/conventional-commits workflow. - For larger changes, open a discussion first so we can align on approach.
