SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill lets you temporarily turn off a community-installed skill without uninstalling it, avoiding unwanted hooks or triggers while preserving all files, references, and configuration for later re-enable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Preserves skill files and configuration: Disables a skill by renaming its root SKILL.md so Claude no longer discovers it as active, while keeping everything in place for reactivation.
  • Stops hook-based triggers: If the skill has hooks in hooks/hooks.json, it renames it to prevent automatic triggering during the disabled period.
  • Installation-aware safety logging: Records the operation to the central install log to support traceability and prevent disabling the wrong kind of skill.

Quick Start

Run disable for the skill you want to pause by providing its exact name: use the /disable command and pass the argument as the target skill name.

How do I temporarily disable a Claude Code skill without losing its configuration?▼

To temporarily disable a Claude Code skill, this tool renames the root SKILL.md and hooks/hooks.json files so they are no longer discovered, preserving all configurations for later reactivation.

What is the best way to pause community skill hooks from triggering automatically?▼

Pausing community skill hooks is done by renaming the hooks/hooks.json file, which stops automatic triggers during the disabled period while keeping the original setup intact.

Can I disable a first-party plugin using this community skill management tool?▼

No, you cannot disable first-party plugins. The tool enforces safety checks against first-party plugins and is designed exclusively for managing community-installed skills.

Does disabling a skill remove it from the central installation log?▼

No, disabling a skill does not remove it from the log. The operation writes a new entry to the central install log to ensure traceability and maintain setup history.

How do I stop problematic plugin behavior without fully uninstalling the skill files?▼

You can stop problematic behavior by running the disable command with the target skill name, which halts hook-triggered automation while keeping all skill files in place.
