What it does

Uninstall is an agent skill from daseinlabs/parsec. Cleanly remove parsec from this machine — undo Claude Code routing, stop the local proxy, delete downloaded models and data, then uninstall the plugin itself.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Agent runtime optimization with Small Language Models. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/uninstall”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/parsec uninstall. This removes the
  2. Run claude plugin uninstall parsec@parsec-marketplace (plain
  3. Offer — do not do it unasked — rm -rf ~/.parsec to remove the last

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e97063c. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude

    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 loads about 491 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 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
~491

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.

description
Cleanly remove parsec from this machine — undo Claude Code routing, stop the local proxy, delete downloaded models and data, then uninstall the plugin itself.

Claude Code has no plugin-uninstall lifecycle hook, so cleanup must run while the plugin (and its binary) still exists. Do the steps IN THIS ORDER and show the user each command's output:

  1. Run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/parsec uninstall. This removes the parsec-managed env keys from ~/.claude/settings.json (never any user values), asks the local proxy to shut down (only after /health proves the listener is ours), and deletes ~/.parsec data — models, logs, ledger, spool — keeping only setup_state.json as a "disabled" marker so auto-setup can't re-trigger from a still-open session.
  2. Run claude plugin uninstall parsec@parsec-marketplace (plain claude plugin uninstall parsec if the scoped name is not found). This removes the plugin files, hooks, and this skill.
  3. Offer — do not do it unasked — rm -rf ~/.parsec to remove the last marker file, and claude plugin marketplace remove parsec-marketplace if they want the marketplace entry gone too.

If they installed the pre-rename alpha (when this product was called dasein), that install is a separate plugin this binary cannot clean up. Offer these too: claude plugin uninstall dasein@dasein-marketplace, claude plugin marketplace remove dasein-marketplace, rm -rf ~/.dasein, and — check ~/.claude/settings.json by hand — remove any statusLine entry still pointing at a bin/dasein path, since that binary no longer exists.

Tell the user to restart any open Claude Code sessions afterwards: routing env is read at session start, and already-running sessions still hold the old ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. If step 1 fails, stop and report the error verbatim — do not proceed to step 2, because after the plugin is gone the cleanup binary is gone with it.
