File contents

mak:teardown — Remove the mak Block from the Global CLAUDE.md

Reverses mak:setup: deletes the marker-delimited block from ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. Content outside the markers is never touched.

Procedure

Read ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.
- If it does not exist, or contains no <!-- mak:begin marker: report "nothing to remove" and stop.
Remove the block — delete everything from the  marker line, inclusive. Collapse any resulting runs of 3+ blank lines to one.
- If a begin marker exists without an end marker, or more than one begin/end marker exists (corrupted/duplicated state): do not guess the block boundary. Show the user the marker locations and ask how far to remove.
If the file is now empty or whitespace-only — tell the user; offer to delete the file or leave the empty file (their choice). Do not delete it unprompted.
Report — state that the block was removed. If ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.mak-backup exists, mention it: it holds the pre-setup snapshot and can be deleted by the user once they're satisfied, or used to compare (diff) if anything looks off. Do not delete the backup automatically.

Cautions

Only the marker-delimited block is removed. Never remove legacy (pre-plugin) manually-pasted sections here — that was only offered during mak:setup with confirmation.
Do not run git commands; ~/.claude may not be a repository.
