Problem Statement
Feature request
Currently /login requires re-authenticating through the browser each time you want to switch accounts (e.g. a work account vs. a personal account). It would be great to have a lightweight profile system, similar to how tools like gh or aws-cli handle multiple accounts.
Proposed Solution
Proposed behavior
claude profile add <name>— log in and save credentials under a named profileclaude profile switch <name>— switch the active session to a saved profile without re-authenticatingclaude profile list— show saved profiles and which one is active- Optionally, a
--profile <name>flag to run a single command under a specific profile

Use Case Example
Users who have both a work/org account and a personal account currently have to fully log out and re-run the browser login flow every time they want to switch, which is slow and easy to get wrong (e.g. accidentally working under the wrong account).
