Removes community skills installed through the hub after explicit confirmation. Use it when files must be removed rather than merely disabled.

## What it does

This skill runs the removal workflow for a named community skill. It checks `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/install-log.yaml` and the installed starter-pack table in `CLAUDE.md`, lists every path slated for deletion, then waits for an explicit `yes`.

It refuses to remove skills from the first-party plugins shipped with `claude-for-legal`. Each completed removal is appended to `install-log.yaml` with the `uninstall` action and a timestamp, and it loads the `skill-manager` reference skill before substantive work. Check the skill name before confirming. To keep files and configuration, use `/legal-builder-hub:disable`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill uninstall -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/uninstall/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/uninstall/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill uninstall -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/uninstall/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

```bash
npx skills add anthropics/claude-for-legal --skill uninstall -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/uninstall/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**

## When to use it
- remove a community skill installed through the hub
- verify an installation record before deletion
- review file paths before confirming removal
- append an uninstall event to `install-log.yaml`
- disable a skill while keeping its files

- Remove `[skill name]` with `/uninstall`
- Run `/uninstall [skill name]` and show the files before deleting them

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 2da6754c34f47e77
```text

name: uninstall
description: >
  Uninstall a community skill that was installed via the hub. Confirms before
  deleting files, refuses to touch first-party plugin skills, and logs every
  action. Use when the user wants to fully remove a community skill
  ("uninstall [skill]", "remove this skill") rather than just disable it.
argument-hint: "[skill name]"

# /uninstall

Run the `uninstall` workflow from the skill-manager reference skill against
the named skill.

Safety rules:

1. **Only uninstall community skills installed through this hub.** Check
   `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-builder-hub/install-log.yaml`
   and the CLAUDE.md installed starter pack table. If the skill is not recorded
   there, refuse and tell the user.
2. **Never uninstall a first-party plugin's skill.** The 12 core plugins that
   ship with claude-for-legal are off-limits from this command. If the named
   skill resolves to a path inside one of those plugins, refuse.
3. **Confirm before removing files.** Show the user every path that will be
   deleted. Proceed only on explicit `yes`.
4. **Log the uninstall.** Append to `install-log.yaml` with action `uninstall`
   and timestamp so the audit trail is intact.

If the user wants to stop a skill from running but keep the files (e.g., for
later re-enable, or to preserve configuration), suggest `/legal-builder-hub:disable`
instead.

> Detailed uninstall, disable, and re-enable workflows live in the
> `skill-manager` reference skill — load it before doing substantive work.
