--- command: dev description: "[advanced] Switch to Dev Work mode - optimized for software development" aliases: - dev-mode --- # Dev Work Mode Switch to **Dev Work Mode**, optimized for software development. ## Implementation Instructions When this command is executed: 1. **Check current mode** via `.claude/claude-octopus.local.md`: - If file does NOT exist → user is already in Dev Work Mode (default). **Do not create the file.** Show confirmation only, then exit. - If file exists and `knowledge_mode: false` → user is already in Dev Work Mode. **Do not rewrite the file.** Show confirmation only, then exit. - If file exists and `knowledge_mode: true` → proceed to step 2. 2. **Switch to Dev Work mode** (only if a real transition is needed): - Before writing, state one sentence: "Switching Knowledge Work → Dev Work — updating `.claude/claude-octopus.local.md` (`knowledge_mode: true` → `false`)." - Update the existing file's `knowledge_mode` field to `false` (preserve any other keys in frontmatter). - Confirm the switch. 3. **Show confirmation:** - Display Dev Work Mode emoji (🔧) - List active personas - Suggest available commands (`/octo:develop`, `/octo:review`, `/octo:tdd`, etc.)
