layla                 # Interactive profile selector
layla <name>          # Switch to profile by name

    "CLOUD_ML_REGION": "global",
    "ANTHROPIC_VERTEX_PROJECT_ID": "my-gcp-project",

  }
}

How it works

Profiles are stored as JSON files in ~/.claude/profiles/. When you switch, layla merges the profile's env keys into ~/.claude/settings.json, preserving your other settings (statusLine, model, etc.).

A backup is created at ~/.claude/settings.json.bak before each switch.

Requirements

• bash
• python3 (for JSON handling, pre-installed on macOS/most Linux)
