By name: plastic-uninstall description: Use when the user wants to remove Plastic from an agent. Runs the manifest-driven uninstaller (removes skills, hooks, statusline, and any legacy plugin layout), reports exactly what was removed and what was left behind, then gives verification steps. Optionally deletes the intent store.
Uninstall Plastic
The installer tracks every file it writes in a manifest, so uninstall is exact and leaves no orphans. Prefer running it through the CLI; this skill wraps the same underlying uninstaller and adds reporting + verification.
Procedure
Step 1: Run the uninstaller
npx @zalom/plastic@latest uninstall --claude
(Use --codex / --hermes / --all to target other agents. bunx works too.)
This removes, for the targeted agent:
- all
~/.claude/skills/plastic-*/skills - all
~/.claude/hooks/plastic-*hooks (and restores any saved original statusline) - the
~/.claude/plastic/state dir + manifest - any legacy plugin layout:
plugins/marketplaces/plastic,plugins/cache/plastic, the old nestedskills/plastic/, and theplastic@plastic/extraKnownMarketplaces.plastic/known_marketplaces.jsonregistrations
Step 2: Report removed vs left
Relay the uninstaller's output to the user — what was removed and what was left in place:
- Left:
~/.plastic/(intent store, history, projects) and any non-Plastic settings.json entries.
Step 3: Verify removal
Tell the user to confirm:
ls ~/.claude/skills | grep '^plastic-' # → no output
ls ~/.claude/hooks | grep '^plastic-' # → no output
grep -n plastic ~/.claude/settings.json # → no plastic hook/plugin refs
Step 4: Offer the data decision
Plastic is uninstalled from [agent].
Your intent store at ~/.plastic/ is untouched.
Delete it too?
a) Keep everything (recommended) — re-install anytime with npx
b) Delete everything now — removes ~/.plastic/ entirely (irreversible)
- Keep: "Your data is at ~/.plastic/. Re-install anytime with
npx @zalom/plastic@latest install --claude." - Delete: run
rm -rf ~/.plastic/and confirm.
