Claude Plugin Integration
When enabled, CC Switch automatically syncs the configuration to the VS Code Claude Code extension (writes primaryApiKey to ~/.claude/config.json) when switching providers.
Use case: If you use both Claude Code CLI and the VS Code extension, enable this option to keep both configurations in sync.
Skip Claude Onboarding
When enabled, skips the Claude Code onboarding flow, suitable for users already familiar with Claude Code.
Note
: This option writes the
skipIntroductionfield to~/.claude/settings.json.
App Visibility
Choose which applications to display in the app switcher. Each app can be toggled independently, but at least one must remain visible.
Configurable apps: Claude, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, OpenClaw.
Use case: If you only use Claude Code and Codex CLI, you can hide the other apps to keep the interface clean.
Skill Sync Method
Set the sync method when installing skills to each app's directory:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Symlink | Creates symbolic links pointing to skill source files; saves space, syncs in real-time |
| Copy | Copies skill files entirely to the target directory |
