## Strategic Positioning

### From Tool to Platform

v3.7.0 represents a shift in CC Switch's positioning:

| Aspect            | v3.6                     | v3.7.0                       |
| ----------------- | ------------------------ | ---------------------------- |
| **Identity**      | Provider Switcher        | AI CLI Management Platform   |
| **Scope**         | Configuration Management | Ecosystem Management         |
| **Applications**  | Claude + Codex           | Claude + Codex + Gemini      |
| **Capabilities**  | Switch configs           | Extend capabilities (Skills) |
| **Customization** | Manual editing           | Visual management (Prompts)  |
| **Integration**   | Isolated apps            | Unified management (MCP)     |

### Six Pillars of AI CLI Management

1. **Configuration Management** - Provider switching and management
2. **Capability Extension** - Skills installation and lifecycle
3. **Behavior Customization** - System prompt presets
4. **Ecosystem Integration** - Deep links and sharing
5. **Multi-AI Support** - Claude/Codex/Gemini
6. **Intelligent Detection** - Conflict prevention
