# How to Permanently Uninstall the i‑have‑adhd Skill from Any AI Agent > Permanently uninstall the i-have-adhd skill from your AI agent. Follow our guide to execute removal commands, purge the marketplace, and delete local files for a clean uninstall. - Repository: [Ayoub Ghriss/i-have-adhd](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd) - Tags: how-to-guide - Published: 2026-08-04 --- **To permanently uninstall the i‑have‑adhd skill, execute your agent's specific removal command (such as `claude plugin uninstall i-have-adhd`), purge it from the marketplace registry, and manually delete any local skill directories or always‑on configuration files.** The i‑have‑adhd skill by `ayghri/i-have-adhd` integrates with multiple AI assistant ecosystems including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Hermes, and generic skill harnesses used by Cursor and OpenCode. Because installation methods vary by platform, permanently uninstalling the skill requires agent-specific CLI commands followed by manual cleanup of residual files referenced in [`INSTALL.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/INSTALL.md) and [`hooks/hooks.json`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/hooks/hooks.json). ## Agent-Specific Commands to Uninstall i‑have‑adhd Each AI agent manages skills through its own plugin or extension system. The repository's [`INSTALL.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/INSTALL.md) documents the precise uninstall sequence for each supported platform. ### Claude Code Claude Code manages this functionality as a plugin. According to [`INSTALL.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/INSTALL.md) lines 27-33, you must both drop the running instance and remove the marketplace entry to prevent automatic reinstallation. ```bash claude plugin uninstall i-have-adhd claude plugin marketplace remove i-have-adhd ``` ### OpenAI Codex For Codex agents, the process mirrors Claude Code but uses the `codex` CLI, as documented in [`INSTALL.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/INSTALL.md) lines 78-85. ```bash codex plugin remove i-have-adhd codex plugin marketplace remove i-have-adhd ``` ### Hermes Hermes utilizes a skill-tap system. As specified in [`INSTALL.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/INSTALL.md) lines 2-8, uninstall the skill itself then optionally remove the tap source to detach from the repository. ```bash hermes skills uninstall i-have-adhd hermes skills tap remove ayghri/i-have-adhd ``` ### Pi Pi relies on the Node.js skills harness. The command from [`INSTALL.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/INSTALL.md) lines 78-84 is: ```bash npx skills remove i-have-adhd ``` ### Gemini CLI Gemini supports both extension and command-route installations. Per [`INSTALL.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/INSTALL.md) lines 51-57, you must uninstall the extension and delete the TOML command file that routes requests to the skill. ```bash gemini extensions uninstall i-have-adhd rm ~/.gemini/commands/i-have-adhd.toml ``` ### Antigravity (agy) For the Antigravity agent, use the plugin manager as referenced in [`INSTALL.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/INSTALL.md) lines 55-61. ```bash agy plugin uninstall i-have-adhd ``` ### Generic Skill Harnesses (Cursor, OpenCode, Amp) These editors typically use the `npx skills` harness. The repository's [`INSTALL.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/INSTALL.md) lines 26-33 indicate you can remove the skill locally or globally. ```bash npx skills remove i-have-adhd # local install npx skills remove i-have-adhd -g # global install ``` ## Deleting Local Skill Folders and Always‑On Flags After running the uninstall commands, residual files may persist in your home directory. The skill may have been copied to agent-specific runtime directories or configured with always‑on flags that load at startup, as defined in [`hooks/hooks.json`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/hooks/hooks.json) and agent configuration files like [`agents/openai.yaml`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/agents/openai.yaml) and [`agents/gemini.toml`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/agents/gemini.toml). Delete the local skill folders: ```bash # Cursor rm -rf ~/.cursor/skills/i-have-adhd # OpenCode rm -rf ~/.config/opencode/skills/i-have-adhd # Pi rm -rf ~/.pi/agent/skills/i-have-adhd # Hermes rm -rf ~/.hermes/skills/i-have-adhd # Codex rm -rf ~/.codex/skills/i-have-adhd # Antigravity rm -rf ~/.agy/plugins/i-have-adhd ``` Remove always‑on flag files: ```bash # Claude Code always-on flag rm ~/.claude/.i-have-adhd-always # Gemini command route (if not already removed) rm ~/.gemini/commands/i-have-adhd.toml ``` ## Verifying Complete Removal To confirm you have permanently uninstalled the i‑have‑adhd skill, verify that: - The agent's plugin or skill list no longer references the skill - No `i-have-adhd` directories exist in `~/.cursor/skills/`, `~/.config/opencode/skills/`, or equivalent paths - Configuration files like [`agents/openai.yaml`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/agents/openai.yaml) or [`agents/gemini.toml`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/agents/gemini.toml) in your local clone are deleted (if you manually copied the repository) ## Summary - Run the specific uninstall command for your AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, etc.) to remove the active skill instance from memory - Execute the marketplace removal command to prevent automatic reinstallation from the registry cache - Delete local skill folders in `~/.cursor/skills/`, `~/.pi/agent/skills/`, `~/.hermes/skills/`, or equivalent directories - Remove always‑on flag files such as `~/.claude/.i-have-adhd-always` or `~/.gemini/commands/i-have-adhd.toml` - Consult [`INSTALL.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/INSTALL.md) in the `ayghri/i-have-adhd` repository for platform-specific nuances and line-specific instructions ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Will uninstalling the skill from the marketplace prevent it from reinstalling automatically? Yes. According to the [`INSTALL.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/INSTALL.md) instructions, removing the skill from the marketplace (e.g., `claude plugin marketplace remove i-have-adhd` or `codex plugin marketplace remove i-have-adhd`) eliminates the registry entry that agents check for updates. Without this entry, the agent cannot silently reinstall or update the skill. ### Do I need to delete the local repository clone to fully remove the skill? If you manually cloned `ayghri/i-have-adhd` or copied files into `~/.cursor/skills/` or similar agent runtime directories, you must delete these folders. The agent's uninstall command only removes the active runtime reference; local filesystem copies can still be loaded if the agent discovers them. ### What happens if I only run the uninstall command but leave the always‑on flag? The always‑on flag files (such as `~/.claude/.i-have-adhd-always` or `~/.gemini/commands/i-have-adhd.toml`) instruct the agent to load the skill at startup. If you delete the skill files but leave these flags, the agent may throw errors or attempt to recreate the skill from cache. Always remove these configuration files after uninstalling. ### Can I reinstall the skill after permanently uninstalling it? Yes. Permanent uninstallation only removes the current installation and prevents automatic restoration from the marketplace cache. You can reinstall at any time by following the installation instructions in the repository's [`README.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/README.md) and [`INSTALL.md`](https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd/blob/main/INSTALL.md), re-cloning the repository, or re-adding the skill to your agent's plugin manager.
