SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill lets you dynamically constrain Claude's tools during a session by switching between develop, review, safe, and deploy modes.

Core Features & Use Cases

Mode switching: set the current tool-access mode for the session and persist it to memory.
Enforcement: dynamically enforce the allowed tool set for the remainder of the session.
Safety and auditing: help reduce risk during reviews or deployments by restricting shell access or edits.

Quick Start

Tell me to switch modes by saying Mode develop, Mode review, Mode safe, or Mode deploy.

FAQPage Schema

How do I restrict Claude's tool access during a coding session?▼

Switch Claude's tool access mode during a session to dynamically constrain available tools. This enforces specific operational constraints and tool permissions for coding and code-review tasks immediately upon selection.

Can I switch between different tool access modes on the fly?▼

Yes, you can switch tool access modes on the fly by instructing the session to change modes. The selected mode is written to in-session memory and immediately enforces the corresponding tool access rules for the remainder of the session.

What tool access modes are available for restricting Claude session permissions?▼

The available tool access modes for restricting session permissions are develop, review, safe, and deploy. Each mode applies different operational constraints to help reduce risk during coding, reviews, or deployments by restricting shell access or edits.

How do I enforce safe coding constraints for code review tasks?▼

Enforce safe coding constraints for code review tasks by switching to the review or safe mode. This dynamically restricts shell access and edits, reducing risk during audits by applying strict tool access rules to the current session.

Does switching tool access modes persist across the entire Claude session?▼

Switching tool access modes persists across the entire Claude session by writing the selected mode to in-session memory. The corresponding tool access rules are enforced immediately and remain active for the remainder of the session.
