Uninstall

/xavier uninstall

Remove the Xavier vault and all registered symlinks. This is a destructive operation.

Destructive operation — follows the Destructive Operations Protocol.

Step 1: Export Suggestion

Before proceeding, suggest that the user export any valuable data first:

Your Xavier vault at ~/.xavier/ contains knowledge notes, PRDs, tasks, and review history. Consider backing up or copying any files you want to keep before uninstalling. Would you like to proceed with uninstall? (yes/no)

Use AskUserQuestion. If the user declines, abort and report "Uninstall cancelled."

Step 2: Remove Symlinks

Remove external references first, before deleting source data. Check and remove each symlink independently:

1. ~/.agents/skills/xavier/ — if it exists (file, symlink, or directory), remove it. If not found, note it.
2. ~/.claude/commands/xavier.md — if it exists (file, symlink, or directory), remove it. If not found, note it.

Step 3: Vault Deletion

Check if ~/.xavier/ exists.

• If it exists: Warn the user that this directory contains review history, dependency-skills, knowledge notes, personas, and git history. State clearly that deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Ask for explicit yes/no confirmation using AskUserQuestion.
  • If the user confirms: Delete ~/.xavier/ recursively.
  • If the user declines: Abort — tell the user symlinks were already removed but the vault is preserved. They can re-run /xavier setup to restore symlinks.
• If it does not exist: Note that the vault was not found and continue to Step 4.

Step 4: Summary

Print a final summary listing exactly what was removed and what was not found:
