How to Uninstall the i-have-adhd Plugin: Complete Guide for Every Agent

Uninstall the i-have-adhd plugin by removing it from your agent's marketplace registry and deleting the local skill files—commands vary by agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Hermes, and others).

The i-have-adhd plugin is distributed as an agent-specific extension that works across multiple AI coding assistants including Claude, Codex, Gemini, Hermes, and Antigravity. Because each agent maintains its own marketplace or skills manager, uninstallation requires agent-specific commands. This guide covers the exact steps for every supported platform, sourced directly from the repository's INSTALL.md and SKILL.md files.

Two-Step Uninstall Process

Every agent follows the same underlying pattern:

1. Remove the plugin from the agent's marketplace — Deregisters the remote reference so the agent stops checking for updates.
2. Delete locally installed files — Clears the skill's code from your filesystem.

The plugin's SKILL.md specifies disable-model-invocation: true, meaning skills can remain dormant unless explicitly invoked—full deregistration is required to prevent accidental activation.

Claude Code Uninstallation

Claude Code provides the most granular control with separate disable and uninstall options.

# Remove from marketplace and uninstall completely

claude plugin uninstall i-have-adhd
claude plugin marketplace remove i-have-adhd

# Optional: disable without removing files

claude plugin disable i-have-adhd

The disable command is useful when you want to preserve the plugin for later reactivation without re-downloading.

Codex Uninstallation

Codex combines removal into a single effective command:

codex plugin remove i-have-adhd
codex plugin marketplace remove i-have-adhd

Codex removes both the registry entry and local files automatically—no additional cleanup required.

Gemini CLI Uninstallation

Gemini supports two installation routes, so match your uninstall method to how you originally installed:

Command route (TOML-based):

rm ~/.gemini/commands/i-have-adhd.toml

Extension route:

gemini extensions uninstall i-have-adhd

Hermes Uninstallation

Hermes uses tap-based skill management:

hermes skills uninstall i-have-adhd

# If you added the ayghri tap originally

hermes skills tap remove ayghri/i-have-adhd

Local files are stored under ~/.hermes/skills/ and cleaned automatically.

Antigravity (agy) Uninstallation

agy plugin uninstall i-have-adhd

Post-uninstall, you can reinstall from any URL if needed—useful for testing forks or custom versions.

Generic Agents: Cursor, OpenCode, Amp, and Others

These agents use the npx skills CLI:

# Project-scoped removal

npx skills remove i-have-adhd

# Global removal

npx skills remove i-have-adhd -g

Skills are removed from ~/.cursor/skills/, ~/.agents/skills/, or equivalent agent-specific directories.

Pi Uninstallation

npx skills remove i-have-adhd
rm -rf ~/.pi/agent/skills/i-have-adhd

Pi requires explicit filesystem cleanup after registry removal.

GitHub Copilot Uninstallation

npx skills remove i-have-adhd

# Manual cleanup if you copied files directly

rm -rf ~/.copilot/skills/i-have-adhd

Critical: Copilot loads skills at editor startup. Fully close and restart VS Code after removal to ensure the skill is no longer active.

Key Source Files in the Repository

Understanding these files helps troubleshoot edge cases:

File	Location	Purpose
INSTALL.md	Repository root	Central uninstall documentation (lines 30-33)
skills/i-have-adhd/SKILL.md	skills/i-have-adhd/	Skill metadata with disable-model-invocation: true
plugin.json	Repository root	Minimal manifest for marketplace registration

As implemented in ayghri/i-have-adhd, the plugin.json and SKILL.md work together to define how agents discover, register, and execute the plugin's capabilities.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Plugin reappears after restart

• Ensure you removed both the marketplace entry AND local files.
• For Copilot: restart the entire editor, not just the window.

"Command not found" errors

• Verify your agent CLI is installed and in your PATH.
• Some commands require the agent to be running (e.g., claude daemon).

Partial uninstall leaving residual behavior

• Check ~/.[agent]/skills/ manually for leftover folders.
• Reinstall then immediately uninstall through official commands to reset state.

Summary

• i-have-adhd plugin uninstallation requires agent-specific marketplace commands followed by local file deletion.
• Claude Code offers disable as an alternative to full removal.
• Gemini users must identify whether they used the command or extension installation route.
• GitHub Copilot requires editor restart after removal.
• All uninstall steps are documented in the repository's INSTALL.md and enforced through SKILL.md metadata.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I only disable the plugin instead of uninstalling it?

Disabling prevents automatic activation but preserves files for quick re-enable. According to SKILL.md, the disable-model-invocation: true setting keeps the skill dormant. However, the marketplace entry remains, so the agent may still query for updates. Full uninstallation requires both marketplace removal and file deletion.

Can I reinstall i-have-adhd after uninstalling?

Yes. Uninstallation is fully reversible. For Antigravity and generic agents, you can reinstall from the original repository or any fork. The README.md includes a "Tune it" section showing how to replace the upstream copy before reinstalling customized versions.

Why does GitHub Copilot need a full editor restart?

Copilot loads skills into the VS Code extension host at startup. Unlike agents with dynamic skill reloading, Copilot's architecture caches skill manifests in memory. A full editor restart clears this cache and forces fresh discovery of available skills.

Where are the skill files stored on my system?

Location varies by agent: ~/.cursor/skills/, ~/.copilot/skills/, ~/.hermes/skills/, ~/.pi/agent/skills/, or ~/.gemini/commands/. The npx skills CLI abstracts these paths, but manual cleanup requires knowing your specific agent's directory structure.
