What it does

Uninstall Watchdog is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Removes the egregore watchdog daemon and its associated files. Use when stopping automated session relaunching or cleaning up egregore infrastructure.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Linux and macOS. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Stopping automated session relaunching
  • Cleaning up egregore infrastructure

Example prompts

  • “Use the uninstall-watchdog skill to remove the egregore watchdog daemon and its associated files”
  • “/uninstall-watchdog”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect the operating system
  2. Stop and remove the service
  3. Clean up associated files
  4. Confirm removal

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Uninstall Watchdog loads about 777 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~777

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Uninstall Watchdog

Overview

Removes the egregore watchdog daemon and cleans up all files created by the install-watchdog skill. After uninstalling, egregore sessions will no longer be relaunched automatically.

When To Use

  • When you no longer want autonomous relaunching.
  • Before removing the egregore plugin from a project.
  • When switching from daemon mode to manual invocation.

When NOT To Use

  • When the watchdog was never installed (check first with the verify commands below).

Uninstall Steps

1. Detect the operating system
bash
OS=$(uname -s)
2. Stop and remove the service

macOS (launchd):

bash
PLIST=~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plist

# Unload the agent (stops it if running)
launchctl unload "$PLIST" 2>/dev/null

# Remove the plist file
rm -f "$PLIST"

Linux (systemd):

bash
# Stop and disable the timer and service
systemctl --user stop egregore-watchdog.timer 2>/dev/null
systemctl --user disable egregore-watchdog.timer 2>/dev/null

# Remove unit files
rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.timer
rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.service

# Reload systemd to pick up the removal
systemctl --user daemon-reload
3. Clean up associated files
bash
# Remove pidfile if present
rm -f ~/.egregore/watchdog.pid

# Remove watchdog log
rm -f ~/.egregore/watchdog.log
4. Confirm removal

macOS:

bash
launchctl list | grep egregore
# Should produce no output

Linux:

bash
systemctl --user list-timers | grep egregore
# Should produce no output

Report to the user that the watchdog has been removed and automatic relaunching is disabled.

Files Removed

Exit Criteria

  • On macOS: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plist does not exist after uninstall completes
  • On Linux: ~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.timer and egregore-watchdog.service are both removed and systemctl --user daemon-reload has run
  • Verification command returns empty output: launchctl list | grep egregore (macOS) or systemctl --user list-timers | grep egregore (Linux)
  • ~/.egregore/watchdog.pid and ~/.egregore/watchdog.log are removed (or absent if they were never created)
  • User is notified that the watchdog has been removed and automatic relaunching is disabled
