Plastic Uninstall

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.

Channel rule

If Plastic is installed, derive ` from ~/.plastic/VERSION: a version containing -alpha means @alpha, -beta means @beta, otherwise @latest. If not installed, default to @latest. The user can always override with --alpha / --beta / --latest`.

Procedure

Step 1: Run the uninstaller

npx -y @zalom/plastic@ uninstall --claude

(Use --codex / --hermes / --all to target other agents. bunx -y @zalom/plastic@ uninstall --claude 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 nested skills/plastic/, and the plastic@plastic / extraKnownMarketplaces.plastic / known_marketplaces.json registrations

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: Report + offer the data decision

Emit the reporting block, using the Step 3 checks for the verification line:

Plastic uninstall ()
Command:  npx -y @zalom/plastic@ uninstall --claude 
Version:  removed
Verification: 

Then:

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 -y @zalom/plastic@latest install --claude (or your channel)."

• Delete: run rm -rf ~/.plastic/ and confirm.
