About this skill

Plugin Remover Skill

Overview

This skill orchestrates the safe, interactive removal of plugins from the local agent environment and updates the canonical tracking registries (plugin-sources.json and skills-lock.json).

By relying on the plugin_remove.py TUI, this skill ensures that no ghost files, orphaned symlinks, or stale hook registrations remain after a plugin is uninstalled.

Key Architecture Rules

  • Execution: All deletions must be run transparently through plugin_remove.py. Do NOT attempt to manually rm -rf plugin directories directly from .agents/.
  • Target Folders: Artifacts are automatically scrubbed from .agents/skills, .agents/workflows, .claude/, .gemini/, etc.
  • Registries: The uninstaller automatically parses and scrubs the removed plugin from both skills-lock.json and plugin-sources.json to keep auto-update loops synchronized.

Instructions

Whenever the user asks to "remove a plugin", "uninstall a skill", or "delete a plugin", guide them to use the interactive TUI or run headless via flags.

Remove via GitHub (remote, no local clone required)

# Interactive TUI — lists all plugins tracked in plugin-sources.json
uvx --from git+https://github.com/richfrem/agent-plugins-skills plugin-remove

# Headless: remove a specific plugin without prompting
uvx --from git+https://github.com/richfrem/agent-plugins-skills plugin-remove --plugins agent-loops --yes

# Headless: remove all tracked plugins
uvx --from git+https://github.com/richfrem/agent-plugins-skills plugin-remove --all --yes

Remove via Local Path (development / offline)

# Interactive TUI from local clone
uvx --from . plugin-remove

# Headless: remove a specific plugin
uvx --from . plugin-remove --plugins agent-loops --yes

# Or run the underlying Python script directly:
python plugins/plugin-manager/scripts/plugin_remove.py
python plugins/plugin-manager/scripts/plugin_remove.py --plugins agent-loops --yes
python plugins/plugin-manager/scripts/plugin_remove.py --dry-run

What Removal Does

For each selected plugin, the uninstaller:

  1. Deletes the plugin directory/files from .agents/skills/, .agents/workflows/, .agents/agents/, .agents/hooks/, .claude/, .gemini/, etc.
  2. Removes the plugin entry from plugin-sources.json (auto-update registry).
  3. Removes the plugin entry from skills-lock.json.

Dependencies

  • Python 3.8+ (No external pip dependencies required).
  • plugin-sources.json must exist and contain tracked plugins. Run plugin-add first.
