Project Remove

Project Remove

Removes a project with safe link removal (target stays intact).

Trigger

/project-remove [name] or /project-remove

Process

PHASE 1: Project Selection

If no name given:

1. Scan {projects_root} for projects with .claude/ links
2. Show list via AskUserQuestion

question: "Which project do you want to remove?"
header: "Project"
options:
  - label: "[project-name-1]"
    description: "{projects_root}/[project-name-1]"
  - label: "[project-name-2]"
    description: "{projects_root}/[project-name-2]"
  # ... dynamically generated
multiSelect: false

PHASE 2: Validation

Check that project exists:

test -d "{projects_root}/[name]"
test -f "{projects_root}/[name]/.claude/settings.local.json"

Safety checks:

• NEVER remove claude-config itself
• Warn if uncommitted changes

cd "{projects_root}/[name]" && git status --porcelain

PHASE 3: Confirmation

question: "Are you sure you want to remove [name]?"
header: "Confirm"
options:
  - label: "Yes, remove project"
    description: "Removes project folder. Master config stays intact."
  - label: "No, cancel"
    description: "No changes"
multiSelect: false

PHASE 4: Project Folder Removal

Question:

question: "Do you want to remove the project folder?"
header: "Folder"
options:
  - label: "Yes, remove everything (Recommended)"
    description: "Removes {projects_root}/[name] completely"
  - label: "No, keep folder"
    description: "Only links removed, rest stays intact"
multiSelect: false

If yes:

rm -rf "{projects_root}/[name]"

PHASE 6: Wrap Up

Output:

Project [name] removed

- Project folder: [removed/kept]
- Master config: intact

Configuration

Resolution order (first match wins):

1. Environment variable
2. .claude/paths.local.yaml (local per project, not in git)
3. skills/project-add/paths.yaml (canonical defaults)

Restrictions

• Can NEVER remove claude-config (hard check)
• Only removes projects with link-based setup
• Always asks for confirmation
• Link removal is always safe (target intact)

Safety Notes

WHY unlink/rmdir and not rm -rf on links:

• unlink (macOS) and rmdir (Windows) remove only the link pointer
• rm -rf or del /s follows the link and removes TARGET files
• This would destroy the master config!

Recovery:

• If project accidentally removed: git clone + /project-add
• If links accidentally removed: recreate with ln -s (macOS) or mklink /J (Windows)
• If master config corrupted: restore from backup/git
