SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you remove or quiet an installed community skill without accidentally affecting first-party skills, while keeping an audit trail and requiring explicit confirmation before any file changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Uninstall community skills with safeguards: Removes only skills that are recorded in the hub install log as the most recent install or enable, and refuses to touch first-party plugins.
  • Disable community skills by renaming key entry files: Renames SKILL.md (and related hooks and scheduled agent files when present) so the skill stops firing safely instead of deleting configuration by default.
  • Re-enable previously disabled skills: Reverses the disable renames and logs an enable action when the most recent logged action is disable.
  • Preserve configuration by default: Keeps user configuration under ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ unless you explicitly choose to remove it.
  • Always logs actions: Appends uninstall, disable, or enable entries to install-log.yaml and updates the hub’s installed starter pack table.

Quick Start

Use the command "Disable the community skill named <skill-name> in the legal builder hub" and answer yes only when the skill lists the exact files it will rename.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-manager

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely uninstall community skills without affecting first-party plugins?▼

To safely uninstall community skills, verify the skill in the hub install log and execute the removal workflow outside built-in plugin directories. This preserves first-party plugin integrity while removing only community-added skills.

What happens to configuration files when I disable a community skill?▼

Disabling a community skill renames key entry files like SKILL.md and associated hooks, stopping it from firing. Your configuration under ~/.claude/plugins/config/ is preserved by default unless you explicitly choose to remove it.

Can I re-enable a previously disabled community skill?▼

Yes, you can re-enable a disabled community skill if the most recent logged action in install-log.yaml is disable. The workflow reverses the entry file renames and logs a new enable action.

How does the audit trail work for community skill lifecycle management?▼

The audit trail uses an append-only logging mechanism that records every uninstall, disable, and enable action to install-log.yaml. This ensures a complete historical record of all community skill modifications.

Why does disabling a skill rename SKILL.md instead of deleting files?▼

Renaming SKILL.md instead of deleting files provides safe deletion by preventing data loss while stopping the skill from firing. This approach preserves your configuration and allows straightforward re-enablement later.

Do I need to type yes explicitly to remove community skills?▼

Yes, destructive operations like uninstalling or disabling community skills require an explicit typed yes confirmation. This safeguard ensures you acknowledge the exact files that will be renamed or removed.
