A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Manage Claude Code profiles and sync configuration from Git.
cwtch (Welsh): a cuddle or cosy nook
</div>
Note: This project is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Anthropic PBC.
cwtch is a macOS command-line tool. It stores named Claude Code credentials and builds selected parts of Claude Code's user configuration from Git repositories.
curljqyq v4The Homebrew formula installs jq and yq.
brew install agh/cask/cwtchCreate a setup-token profile, then apply it to the current shell:
cwtch profile setup personal
eval "$(cwtch profile env)"claude setup-token creates a one-year, non-refreshing credential. It can only make model requests, so it can't establish Remote Control sessions or fetch claude.ai connectors. MCP servers you configure locally still work. Claude Code's bare mode ignores it.
Create another profile in the same way. Selecting a token or API-key profile does not alter the parent shell, so apply the environment after every switch:
cwtch profile use work
eval "$(cwtch profile env)"To sync configuration from Git:
cwtch sync init
cwtch edit
cwtch sync check
cwtch sync --dry-run
cwtch syncThe generated Cwtchfile is a valid no-op example. Uncomment and edit a source before syncing.
| Type | Create with | Storage | Activation and limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup token | cwtch profile setup or profile save-token | ~/.cwtch/profiles/<name>/.token | profile env exports CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN. The token is one-year and non-refreshing, with the Remote Control, claude.ai connector, and bare-mode limits described above. |
| OAuth snapshot | cwtch profile save | ~/.cwtch/profiles/<name>/.credential | profile use restores the snapshot to the default macOS Keychain entry. Claude Code can refresh the active login; cwtch snapshots it before the next OAuth switch. |
| API key | cwtch profile save-key | ~/.cwtch/profiles/<name>/.apikey | profile env exports ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. It takes precedence over setup-token and OAuth credentials. |
Only OAuth snapshots have usage data. Usage is best effort; Claude Code's /usage display is authoritative. See Profile management for switching, precedence, Keychain, and CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR details.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
cwtch status | Show the active profile and local source state without making network requests |
cwtch usage | Show best-effort usage for all saved profiles |
cwtch sync | Validate the Cwtchfile, update sources, apply configuration, and prune stale managed links |
cwtch sync --force | Back up and replace a regular CLAUDE.md that would otherwise block sync |
cwtch sync --dry-run | Print the planned clone, update, link, merge, and prune operations without changing files |
cwtch sync init | Create a valid example ~/.cwtch/Cwtchfile |
cwtch sync check | Print and validate the Cwtchfile, including warnings for existing settings or CLAUDE.md targets |
cwtch profile list | List saved profiles, their types, and the active profile |
cwtch profile current | Print the active profile name, or (none) |
cwtch profile setup <name> | Run claude setup-token, validate the result, and save a token profile |
cwtch profile save-token <name> | Read and save an existing setup token |
cwtch profile save-key <name> | Read and save an API key |
cwtch profile save <name> | Save the current default Keychain OAuth credential |
cwtch profile use <name> | Select a profile; OAuth profiles are also restored to Keychain |
cwtch profile delete <name> | Delete a profile and clear the selection when it was active |
cwtch profile env | Print an unset line followed by the selected profile's export or OAuth comment |
cwtch profile token | Print the active setup token |
cwtch profile api-key | Print the active API key |
cwtch refresh [args...] | Deprecated no-op; -q or --quiet suppresses its warning |
cwtch edit | Open the Cwtchfile with $EDITOR, or vi when $EDITOR is unset |
cwtch version | Print the version and make a short GitHub release update check |
cwtch -v, cwtch --version | Print cwtch <version> offline |
cwtch -h, cwtch --help | Show command help; no command also shows help |
Set NO_COLOR, set TERM=dumb, or redirect output to disable colour.
brew uninstall cwtchHomebrew removes the executable but not user data. Profiles, source clones, state, and the Cwtchfile remain under ~/.cwtch/. Files and links already written to the Claude Code configuration paths also remain. Review those paths before removing them, particularly if they contain configuration not created by cwtch.
