Skill yoelgal/better-dev/skills/uninstall

Portable dev practices, packaged as skills - that run inside the coding agent you already use (Claude Code, Codex, pi, hermes). Not an agent, framework, or provider layer.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use when a person wants to remove better-dev - unwire a repo (drop the .better-dev/bin bridge and optionally the CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md block) or remove the global per-host install. Never deletes your rules, overrides, or learnings unless you ask.

Uninstall better-dev

Removing better-dev is deliberate, so this skill is user-invoked. The work is one script, .better-dev/bin/bd-uninstall (in the clone, scripts/bd-uninstall); it removes only what better-dev installed and leaves everything else in place.

The safety default is dry-run: every command below first prints exactly what it would remove and changes nothing. Read that plan, then re-run with --yes to act.

Two things to remove

This repo's wiring - the per-machine .better-dev/bin bridge, and (on request) the managed discovery block in CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md:

.better-dev/bin/bd-uninstall repo                # dry-run: show what would go
.better-dev/bin/bd-uninstall repo --unblock --yes  # drop the bridge and the managed block

The global per-host install - the per-skill links in each host's skills dir and the install marker:
```
.better-dev/bin/bd-uninstall global              # dry-run across detected hosts
.better-dev/bin/bd-uninstall global --yes        # remove better-dev's links; leave foreign skills
```
A same-named skill that isn't better-dev's is never touched; the report names what it left and why.

Your data survives

bd-uninstall repo leaves .better-dev/rules.md, overrides.md, learnings.jsonl, and the loop ledger/ in place. They are only removed when you add --purge-data, and the dry-run shows them before anything is deleted. If you want a clean unwire but want to keep your project's learnings, that is the default - just omit the flag.
