It is not invoked directly by the user, but loaded under the hood by `/legal-builder-hub:uninstall` and `/legal-builder-hub:disable`. The installer audit trail at `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/install-log.yaml` serves as the single source of truth for all target paths. Safety checks prevent touching the 12 core plugins shipped with `claude-for-legal`. When disabling a skill, it renames files such as `SKILL.md` and `hooks.json` to `.disabled` so agents stop triggering. Every change targets exactly one skill and demands an explicit typed `yes` from the user. User configurations inside `~/.claude/plugins/config/...` remain untouched by default, so cleaning up leftover settings requires manual user action. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill skill-manager -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/skill-manager/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/skill-manager/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill skill-manager -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/skill-manager/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill skill-manager -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/skill-manager/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install anthropics/claude-for-legal skill-manager ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/skill-manager/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill skill-manager -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal --path legal-builder-hub/skills/skill-manager ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/skill-manager/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill skill-manager -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal/tree/HEAD/legal-builder-hub/skills/skill-manager/SKILL.md ## When to use it - delete community skill directories and files after verification - disable active skills and scheduled agents by appending `.disabled` to filenames - restore previously disabled skills by reversing filename changes - prevent accidental deletion or modification of built-in first-party plugins ## Example prompts - /legal-builder-hub:uninstall custom-skill-name - /legal-builder-hub:disable custom-skill-name ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 8c9a6057f4b45f6e ````text --- name: skill-manager description: > Reference: detailed uninstall, disable, and re-enable workflows for community skills installed via the legal builder hub. Safe by default — refuses to touch first-party plugin skills, confirms before removing files, and logs every action. Loaded by the /legal-builder-hub:uninstall and /legal-builder-hub:disable skills. user-invocable: false --- # Skill Manager ## Purpose Remove or quiet a community skill after install. Symmetric with the installer: the installer writes files with user approval, the skill-manager removes or disables them with user approval. The installer's audit trail (`install-log.yaml`) is the source of truth for what this skill may act on. ## What this skill may act on Only community skills installed through this hub. Identification rule: - The skill's name must appear in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/install-log.yaml` with a most-recent action of `install` or `enable` (not `uninstall`). - The skill's files must resolve to a path outside the built-in plugin directories that ship with claude-for-legal. If either check fails, refuse and tell the user why. Never delete or rename files inside a first-party plugin. ## Built-in plugins (do not touch) The 12 core plugins that ship with claude-for-legal are off-limits from this command. The canonical list lives in the hub's CLAUDE.md under "Built-in plugins." Examples include `commercial-legal`, `corporate-legal`, `employment-legal`, `privacy-legal`, `product-legal`, `regulatory-legal`, `ai-governance-legal`, `litigation-legal`, `litigation-legal`, `law-student`, `legal-clinic`, and the hub itself (`legal-builder-hub`). If the caller names a skill that resolves into any of these, refuse. ## Workflow — uninstall ### Step 1: Verify the skill is community-installed Read `install-log.yaml`. Find the most recent entry for the named skill. If not found or if the last action is `uninstall`: say so and stop. ### Step 2: Resolve files Determine the install path from the log (written at install time). Enumerate every file and subdirectory. Also identify any config the skill wrote to the user's `~/.claude/plugins/config/...` — surface this to the user but do not delete it by default (configuration may be worth keeping for a later re-install). ### Step 3: Show and confirm Display: - The skill's install directory path - Every file that will be deleted - Any config directories that will NOT be deleted (with a note that the user can delete them manually if desired) Prompt: "Delete these files? (yes / no)". No deletion without explicit `yes`. ### Step 4: Delete Remove the skill directory. ### Step 5: Log and update CLAUDE.md Append to `install-log.yaml`: ```yaml - skill: action: uninstall timestamp: path: ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 8c9a6057f4b45f6e The third-party file has ended.
