SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Managing multiple command-line AI coding agents means juggling separate configs, API keys, and context files. This Skill centralizes profile switching between Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, local models, and OpenAI-compatible gateways while keeping one shared memory layer across all agents. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Profile & Recipe Management: Switch active CLI AI profiles with ai-use, install one-step recipes for stacks like OpenCode + OpenRouter, Claude Code, DeepSeek, Ollama, and LM Studio, and manage API presets for 20+ providers. - Shared Cross-Agent Memory: Store global, project, and session context in neutral files exposed through AI_CLI_MEMORY, with tagging, dedupe, compaction, and secret auditing. - Multi-Agent Workflows: Run several agents in one terminal workspace via tmux or Windows Terminal, install agent bridge files so /switch claude works inside a running agent, and pass handoff notes between agents. - Use Case: A developer working in a project runs ai-lite to install agent bridges, then switches between Codex for implementation and Claude for review using ai-workspace switch claude, with both agents reading the same shared memory context. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to set up the CLI model switcher by running the installer and then switching the active profile to a recipe like opencode-openrouter.

Frequently Asked Questions about cli-model-switcher

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I switch between Codex and Claude Code in the terminal?▼

Run ai-use codex or ai-use claude to change the active profile, or use ai-workspace switch claude inside a tmux or Windows Terminal workspace. The switcher updates environment variables and exposes the shared memory file through AI_CLI_MEMORY.

How do I share memory between multiple AI coding agents?▼

The switcher maintains global, project, and session memory files under ~/.ai-cli-switcher/memory and merges them into a combined context.md file. Every active profile exposes this file through the AI_CLI_MEMORY environment variable so all agents read the same context.

Can I use OpenRouter or local models like Ollama with CLI agents?▼

Yes, built-in API presets cover OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Ollama, LM Studio, Groq, and many others, plus custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Recipes like opencode-openrouter and local-ollama install complete profiles in one command.

Does the switcher store API keys in its config files?▼

No, direct-looking API keys are refused in profile env values by default. You reference environment variable names such as ${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}, and ai-secret audit scans state and memory for accidental secrets before export.

How do I make /switch work inside an already-running agent?▼

Run ai-agent install codex claude opencode in your project to write AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md bridge files, or paste the output of ai-agent prompt into the running session. The agent then maps /switch commands to ai-workspace switch.

What shells and platforms does the CLI switcher support?▼

It generates helpers for PowerShell, cmd.exe, Bash, Zsh, fish, and Nushell, and runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and WSL. Session backends include tmux, Windows Terminal tabs, PowerShell windows, and a printable fallback.
