Metadata

  • Commit Message: fix(cli): add agents project switch command to project CLI
  • Branch: fix/project-switch-command

Background and Context

The CleverAgents CLI specification (v3.2.0+) requires the agents project command group to include a switch subcommand for switching the active/current project context. This is a standard project management operation needed when working with multiple projects.

The project command group (src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project.py) currently implements:

  • agents project init (line 403)
  • agents project status (line 476)
  • agents project clean (line 519)
  • agents project create (line 535)
  • agents project link-resource (line 649)
  • agents project unlink-resource (line 724)
  • agents project list (line 808)
  • agents project show (line 873)
  • agents project delete (line 926)

There is no switch command to change the active project context.

Current Behavior

Running agents project switch <project-name> results in an error:

Error: No such command 'switch'.

The agents project --help output does not show a switch subcommand.

Expected Behavior

agents project switch <project-name> should switch the active project context to the specified project, allowing subsequent commands to operate in the context of the newly selected project.

The command should:

  • Accept a project name (namespaced) as a positional argument
  • Update the current project context
  • Display confirmation of the switch
  • Support --format flag for machine-readable output

Acceptance Criteria

  • agents project switch <name> command is implemented in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project.py
  • The command updates the active project context
  • The command shows an appropriate error if the project does not exist
  • The command supports --format flag (rich, json, yaml, plain)
  • agents project --help shows switch as a subcommand
  • BDD feature scenarios cover the new command

Supporting Information

  • Affected file: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project.py
  • The ProjectService likely already supports project context switching
  • Related: agents project status shows the current project

Subtasks

  • Add @app.command("switch") function to src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project.py
  • Implement project context switching logic using ProjectService
  • Add --format flag support
  • Add BDD feature scenarios for agents project switch
  • Add BDD step definitions
  • Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors
  • Verify coverage >= 97% via nox -s coverage_report

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

  • All subtasks above are completed and checked off.
  • A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly, followed by a blank line, then additional lines providing relevant details about the implementation.
  • The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in Metadata exactly.
  • The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and merged before this issue is marked done.

## Metadata - **Commit Message**: `fix(cli): add agents project switch command to project CLI` - **Branch**: `fix/project-switch-command` ## Background and Context The CleverAgents CLI specification (v3.2.0+) requires the `agents project` command group to include a `switch` subcommand for switching the active/current project context. This is a standard project management operation needed when working with multiple projects. The `project` command group (`src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project.py`) currently implements: - `agents project init` (line 403) - `agents project status` (line 476) - `agents project clean` (line 519) - `agents project create` (line 535) - `agents project link-resource` (line 649) - `agents project unlink-resource` (line 724) - `agents project list` (line 808) - `agents project show` (line 873) - `agents project delete` (line 926) There is no `switch` command to change the active project context. ## Current Behavior Running `agents project switch <project-name>` results in an error: ``` Error: No such command 'switch'. ``` The `agents project --help` output does not show a `switch` subcommand. ## Expected Behavior `agents project switch <project-name>` should switch the active project context to the specified project, allowing subsequent commands to operate in the context of the newly selected project.

[AUTO-OWNR-1] Triage Decision (Cycle 5)

Status: Verified

MoSCoW: Must Have
Priority: High

Rationale: The agents project switch command is explicitly required by the CLI specification (v3.2.0+) and is a core project management operation. Without the ability to switch active project context, users working across multiple projects are blocked from basic workflow operations. All other project management commands (init, create, list, show, delete, etc.) are present — switch is a clear spec gap that must be addressed.

Next Steps: Implement @app.command("switch") in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project.py using ProjectService for context switching. Add --format flag support, BDD feature scenarios and step definitions, then run nox and verify coverage ≥ 97%. Submit as a PR to master on branch fix/project-switch-command.
