SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Print the safe paper-wiki uninstall command and explain why it must be run from a fresh terminal (Claude Code can't safely tear itself out from inside its own session). Use when /paper-wiki:uninstall is invoked. The actual uninstall lives in the paperwiki CLI; this SKILL exists for discoverability.

Core Features & Use Cases

This SKILL is intentionally a one-step pointer rather than performing the uninstall directly. Claude Code is using paper-wiki right now — if this SKILL deleted the plugin cache and pruned the JSON entries from inside Claude, the active session would lose its SKILLs and runners mid-execution, which is confusing and unrecoverable without restarting anyway.

So /paper-wiki:uninstall always tells the user to run the same command from a fresh terminal: paperwiki uninstall The CLI is flag-driven (v0.3.35+). Default mode handles the plugin layer; --everything adds config root, PATH shim, marketplace clone, and marketplace settings entry; --purge-vault PATH adds vault content; --nuke-vault with --purge-vault removes the entire vault; --yes to skip prompts; --verbose to log removals.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I uninstall the paper-wiki plugin from Claude Code?

To uninstall the paper-wiki plugin, run the `paperwiki uninstall` command from a fresh terminal. Executing it inside an active Claude Code session is unsafe because the session would lose its runners mid-execution.

Why can't I remove the paper-wiki plugin from inside my current Claude Code session?

You cannot safely uninstall paper-wiki from an active Claude Code session because the plugin is actively running. Removing the cache and JSON entries mid-execution would tear down the session's runners, causing an unrecoverable crash.

What does the paperwiki uninstall --everything flag do?

The `--everything` flag expands the default paperwiki uninstall to remove the config root, PATH shim, marketplace clone, and marketplace settings entry, ensuring a comprehensive removal of the paper-wiki environment.

How do I completely purge vault content when uninstalling paper-wiki?

To purge vault content during paper-wiki uninstall, use the `--purge-vault PATH` flag. Adding `--nuke-vault` alongside it removes the entire vault, while `--yes` skips the confirmation prompts.

Does the paper-wiki uninstall Skill remove the plugin directly?

No, the paper-wiki uninstall Skill does not remove the plugin directly. It acts as a discoverable pointer that prints the safe uninstall command and documents the conditions for running the paperwiki CLI.
