How to Uninstall the i-have-adhd VS Code Plugin: Step-by-Step Guide for All AI Agents

To completely uninstall the i-have-adhd plugin, you must remove it from your AI agent's marketplace registry using agent-specific CLI commands, then manually delete the local skill files from your filesystem to eliminate all residual code.

The ayghri/i-have-adhd repository distributes the plugin as an agent-specific extension that supports Claude, Codex, Gemini, Hermes, and other AI coding assistants. Because the plugin architecture separates marketplace registration (a JSON manifest that checks for updates) from physical installation (files stored under agent configuration directories), proper uninstallation requires two distinct steps documented in the repository's INSTALL.md (lines 30-33) and skills/i-have-adhd/SKILL.md.

Why Uninstalling Requires a Two-Step Process

According to the source code analysis, the plugin is registered with the agent's marketplace and installed as a collection of files under the agent's configuration directory. The first command clears the registry entry so the agent no longer queries for updates, while the second removes the physical files. This mirrors the architecture described in the skill's front-matter (disable-model-invocation: true) in SKILL.md, which keeps the skill dormant unless explicitly invoked—you must fully deregister it to stop any accidental activation.

Agent-Specific Uninstall Instructions

Each AI agent provides its own marketplace or skills manager with unique command syntax. Use the commands below that match your specific agent.

Claude Code

Claude Code stores the plugin in its marketplace and allows optional disabling without file removal.

# Remove from marketplace registry

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

# Optional: disable without deleting files

claude plugin disable i-have-adhd

GitHub Copilot (VS Code and CLI)

Copilot loads the skill at startup, requiring an editor restart after removal.

# Remove from registry

npx skills remove i-have-adhd

# Delete physical files manually

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

Note: You must restart VS Code after deleting the folder to ensure Copilot does not load residual code.

OpenAI Codex

Codex removes the plugin entirely with no additional cleanup required.

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

Gemini CLI

Gemini supports two installation styles—pick the command that matches your original installation method.

# If installed as an extension

gemini extensions uninstall i-have-adhd

# If installed as a command route

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

Hermes

Hermes stores skills under ~/.hermes/skills/ and supports tap-based installations.

# Uninstall the skill

hermes skills uninstall i-have-adhd

# Remove the tap if you added it manually

hermes skills tap remove ayghri/i-have-adhd

Antigravity (agy)

After uninstalling, you can reinstall with a new URL if needed.

agy plugin uninstall i-have-adhd

Pi

Pi requires both registry removal and manual filesystem cleanup.

# Remove from registry

npx skills remove i-have-adhd

# Delete local files

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

Generic Agents (Cursor, OpenCode, Amp)

These agents use the npx skills utility to manage plugins under ~/.cursor/skills/ or ~/.agents/skills/.

# Project-scoped removal

npx skills remove i-have-adhd

# Global removal (if installed with -g flag)

npx skills remove i-have-adhd -g

Verifying Complete Removal

After running the uninstall commands, verify no artifacts remain by checking these locations:

• Claude: Check claude plugin list to confirm the plugin does not appear
• Filesystem: Ensure ~/.copilot/skills/i-have-adhd, ~/.cursor/skills/i-have-adhd, or agent-equivalent directories are deleted
• Configuration: Review plugin.json references in your agent's config directory to confirm no manifest entries persist

Summary

• The i-have-adhd plugin requires distinct marketplace deregistration and physical file deletion to fully uninstall
• Use agent-specific commands like claude plugin uninstall, npx skills remove, or gemini extensions uninstall depending on your AI assistant
• Delete local files from ~/.copilot/skills/, ~/.hermes/skills/, or equivalent directories to ensure no residual code remains
• Restart VS Code after uninstalling from Copilot or other IDE-integrated agents to prevent loading cached skill definitions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to restart VS Code after uninstalling the i-have-adhd plugin?

Yes, for IDE-integrated agents like GitHub Copilot. According to the INSTALL.md documentation, Copilot loads skills at startup, so you must restart the editor to prevent the agent from invoking cached plugin code. Standalone CLI agents like Codex or Claude Code do not require restarts.

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

The skill becomes dormant but remains on your filesystem. The disable-model-invocation: true setting in SKILL.md allows agents like Claude Code to keep the plugin files locally while preventing automatic activation. However, the marketplace registry entry remains active, meaning the agent may still query for updates.

Where are the i-have-adhd plugin files stored locally?

Location varies by agent. The plugin installs under agent-specific configuration directories such as ~/.copilot/skills/, ~/.hermes/skills/, ~/.cursor/skills/, or ~/.pi/agent/skills/. The root plugin.json file and skill definitions in skills/i-have-adhd/SKILL.md determine where each agent maps these files.

Can I reinstall the plugin immediately after uninstalling it?

Yes. After running the uninstall commands and clearing local directories, you can reinstall using the original installation method from ayghri/i-have-adhd. For Antigravity users, the documentation specifically notes you can reinstall with a new URL if needed after running agy plugin uninstall i-have-adhd.
