Jupiter cache drive at 99% BTRFS data allocation — MariaDB + Discourse crash-looping. Root cause: 589G OwnCloud data stuck on cache (mover blocked by active SMB session from OwnCloud VM). Migration in progress (rsync cache->array disk7, ~90% at time of commit). Also fixed /mode command to acknowledge /color is user-invokable only.

# /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>"`
|
|
- **Tell the user to run `/color <color>`** — Claude cannot invoke `/color` programmatically (it's a built-in CLI command). Include the command inline so the user can copy-paste.
|
|
- Log the transition: `[MODE] general -> infra (detected: SSH to 172.16.3.30) — run /color red`
|
|
|
|
**Silent auto-switching:** When auto-detection triggers a mode change mid-session, announce it as: `[MODE -> infra] /color red` — short, actionable, the user can run the color command or ignore it. Don't interrupt 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)
|
|
```
