What it does

Spectre Uninstall Codex is an agent skill from joenandez/spectre. Codex-only Spectre uninstall workflow. Use when the user wants to uninstall the native spectre@spectre Codex plugin; cleans expired workflow data and removes managed Spectre custom agents before native plugin removal while preserving marketplace registration and project knowledge.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 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: Spectre is a battle-tested 6 stage agentic engineering workflow for building complex, production-ready features. You stay in the loop for the decisions that matter. Your agents…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to uninstall the native spectre@spectre Codex plugin

Example prompts

  • “/spectre-uninstall-codex”

Workflow steps

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

  1. From the current project, run and retain the JSON result
  2. Run
  3. If the helper reports collisions, stop and report the paths. Do not delete unowned files.
  4. Run

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 931c9e8. 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:

    • node
    • codex

    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

Spectre Uninstall Codex loads about 407 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 123 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~407

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-codex

Clean expired local workflow data, remove only Spectre-managed Codex custom agents, then remove the native plugin. Preserve marketplace registration, project knowledge, handoffs, and unrelated Codex config. Unexpired workflow history is retained unless the user explicitly requests its purge.

Method

  1. From the current project, run and retain the JSON result:
    bash
    node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/workflow-cli.mjs" cleanup --project-dir "$PWD" --json
    Report remainingBytes. If the user explicitly requested removal of local workflow history too, run this before uninstalling:
    bash
    node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/workflow-cli.mjs" purge --project-dir "$PWD" --yes --json
  2. Run:
    bash
    node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/ensure-codex-agents.mjs" --remove --json
  3. If the helper reports collisions, stop and report the paths. Do not delete unowned files.
  4. Run:
    bash
    codex plugin remove spectre@spectre

DONE

Expired workflow data was cleaned, retained bytes were reported (or explicit purge completed), managed spectre_*.toml agents were removed or confirmed absent, the native plugin removal command completed, and no project knowledge/session data was deleted.
