Why

Claude Code loads everything in `~/.claude/` — every skill, rule, agent, plugin, and MCP server. On a large setup this burns context window tokens on things irrelevant to your current project.

cctl lets you curate what's active:

Context	What you enable
Web project	frontend skills, TypeScript agents, Playwright MCP
Go CLI project	Go patterns, Go reviewers, gopls LSP
Research	Obsidian MCP, Zotero, paper-writing skills

Save a profile, switch projects, restore in one command.
