What it does

Uninstall is an agent skill from sbusso/claudeclaw. Stop and remove the ClaudeClaw background service and agents for this instance

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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: Use Claude to orchestrate agents like OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/uninstall”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detect OS and find service
  2. Check if service exists
  3. Confirm with user
  4. Stop and unload
  5. Verify stopped
  6. Kill any orphan processes
  7. Confirm

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1395af4. 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 loads about 567 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 104 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~567

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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 Service

Stop and remove the ClaudeClaw background service for the current instance. Data (store/, groups/, .env) is preserved — only the service unit is removed.

Flow

1. Detect OS and find service

macOS:

bash
DIRNAME=$(basename "$(pwd)")
PLIST_NAME="com.claudeclaw.${DIRNAME}"
PLIST_PATH="$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/${PLIST_NAME}.plist"

Linux:

bash
DIRNAME=$(basename "$(pwd)")
SERVICE_NAME="claudeclaw-${DIRNAME}"
SERVICE_PATH="$HOME/.config/systemd/user/${SERVICE_NAME}.service"
2. Check if service exists
bash
# macOS
[ ! -f "$PLIST_PATH" ] && echo "No service found at $PLIST_PATH" && exit 0

# Linux
[ ! -f "$SERVICE_PATH" ] && echo "No service found at $SERVICE_PATH" && exit 0

If no service file found, also check for running processes:

bash
# macOS — check if loaded even without plist
launchctl list | grep claudeclaw
# Linux
systemctl --user list-units | grep claudeclaw
3. Confirm with user

AskUserQuestion: "Remove ClaudeClaw service for this instance? This will stop the background process. Your data (groups, messages, .env) is preserved."

4. Stop and unload

macOS:

bash
launchctl bootout "gui/$(id -u)/${PLIST_NAME}" 2>/dev/null || true
rm -f "$PLIST_PATH"

Linux:

bash
systemctl --user stop "$SERVICE_NAME" 2>/dev/null || true
systemctl --user disable "$SERVICE_NAME" 2>/dev/null || true
rm -f "$SERVICE_PATH"
systemctl --user daemon-reload
5. Verify stopped
bash
# macOS
launchctl list | grep "$PLIST_NAME" && echo "WARNING: service still loaded" || echo "Service removed"

# Linux
systemctl --user is-active "$SERVICE_NAME" 2>/dev/null && echo "WARNING: service still running" || echo "Service removed"
6. Kill any orphan processes
bash
pkill -f "dist/service.js" 2>/dev/null || true

Only kill processes whose cwd matches the current directory to avoid killing other instances.

7. Confirm

Print:

ClaudeClaw service removed for this instance.
- Service file: deleted
- Process: stopped
- Data: preserved (store/, groups/, .env still in place)
- To reinstall: run /setup

Can I use Uninstall in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders.

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/uninstall, .gemini/skills/uninstall, .github/skills/uninstall and .opencode/skills/uninstall in your project.

What does Uninstall need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Uninstall is instructions for the agent only.

Does Uninstall access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Uninstall safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Uninstall use?

Uninstall is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Uninstall use?

About 567 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
