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.

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.

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.

The project lives on GitHub at github.com/htxryan/claude-code-config-profiles. The fastest way to help:

  1. Try C3P in a real project and file an issue if something feels off.
  2. Read CONTRIBUTING.md before sending a PR — it covers the test/lint/conventional-commits workflow.
  3. For larger changes, open a discussion first so we can align on approach.
