Add /mode command — auto-detecting work mode with terminal color

Five modes: client (orange), dev (cyan), infra (red), general (blue),
remediation (purple). Auto-detects from user messages using keyword
priority rules. Manual override via /mode <name>. Color changes via
/color on mode transitions. Posture adjusts per mode (e.g., infra =
confirm-before-destructive, dev = delegate freely).

## Work Mode (auto-detect + color)
Claude operates in one of five modes. Mode determines terminal color and operational posture. **Auto-detect on every user message** using these priority rules (first match wins):
1. **remediation** (purple) — "remediation tool", "365", "breach", "tenant sweep", M365 keywords
2. **client** (orange) — client name mentioned (check `clients/` dirs), work under `clients/`, "for \<client\>"
3. **infra** (red) — server names/IPs (AD2, Jupiter, 172.16.x.x), SSH, firewall, DNS, deploy, service restart
4. **dev** (cyan) — code, build, compile, Rust/cargo, npm, GuruRMM dev, testing, work under `projects/`
5. **general** (blue) — default
**On mode change:** update `identity.json` "mode" field, change terminal color, announce briefly: `[MODE -> infra]`. Don't interrupt workflow.
**Manual override:** user can run `/mode <name>` to force a mode. `/mode auto` re-runs detection. `/mode` shows current.
**Posture by mode:**
- **client (orange):** careful with data, session logs go to `clients/`, always name the client
- **dev (cyan):** delegate freely to Coding/Testing agents, less confirmation friction
- **infra (red):** confirm before destructive ops, backup-first, double-check IPs
- **general (blue):** lightweight, default
- **remediation (purple):** Graph API focus, compliance language, full audit trail

# /mode — Set or view the current work mode
Manually set the work mode, or let it auto-detect. Mode controls the terminal color and adjusts Claude's operational posture.
## Usage
```
/mode Show current mode
/mode client Switch to client mode (orange)
/mode dev Switch to development mode (cyan)
/mode infra Switch to infrastructure mode (red)
/mode general Switch to general mode (blue)
/mode remediation Switch to remediation/365 mode (purple)
/mode auto Re-run auto-detection from current context
```
## Modes
| Mode | Color | Posture |
|---|---|---|
| **client** | orange | Working on/for a specific client. Extra care with data handling. Session logs go to `clients/<name>/session-logs/`. Credential access audited. Always identify the client in session logs. |
| **dev** | cyan | Building features, writing code, testing. Delegate freely to Coding/Testing agents. Use Ollama for drafts when available. Less confirmation friction on non-destructive operations. |
| **infra** | red | Infrastructure work — servers, firewalls, DNS, deployments, backups. Confirm before any destructive or hard-to-reverse operation. Backup-first mentality. Double-check IPs and hostnames. |
| **general** | blue | Research, planning, documentation, email drafts, general questions. Default mode. Lightweight posture. |
| **remediation** | purple | M365 tenant work, breach investigation, security remediation. Graph API focus. Compliance-grade language. Full audit trail. |
## When invoked
1. Set the mode in `.claude/identity.json` under a `"mode"` key
2. Run the color change: invoke `/color <mode_color>`
3. Confirm to user: "Mode: **<mode>** (<color>)"
## Auto-detection rules
When `/mode auto` is called, OR at session start, OR when the user shifts topics, determine mode from context:
**Priority order (first match wins):**
1. **remediation** — user said "remediation tool", "365", "breach", "tenant sweep", or `/remediation-tool` was invoked
2. **client** — user mentions a client name (check `clients/` subdirectories for name matches), or current work is under `clients/`, or user said "for <client>"
3. **infra** — user mentions servers by name/IP (AD2, Jupiter, Uranus, pfSense, 172.16.x.x), SSH commands, firewall rules, DNS changes, service restarts, or "deploy to production"
4. **dev** — user mentions code, building, compiling, Rust/Python/Node, cargo, npm, GuruRMM development, writing features, testing, or current work is under `projects/`
5. **general** — default if nothing else matches
**On mode change (auto or manual):**
- Update `.claude/identity.json` with `"mode": "<mode>"`
- Change terminal color via `/color <color>`
- Log the transition: `[MODE] general → infra (detected: SSH to 172.16.3.30)`
**Silent auto-switching:** When auto-detection triggers a mode change mid-session, announce it briefly: `[MODE → infra]` and switch the color. Don't interrupt the user's flow with a long explanation. If the detection seems wrong, the user can override with `/mode <correct_mode>`.
## Session log integration
Session logs should include the mode in the User section:
```markdown
## User
- **User:** Mike Swanson (mike)
- **Machine:** DESKTOP-0O8A1RL
- **Role:** admin
- **Mode:** infra (red)
```
If mode changed during the session, note the transitions:
```markdown
- **Mode:** general → infra → dev (transitioned during session)
```
