File contents

Reset Agent Environment

Wipe the global agent config on this machine: skills, hooks, rules, and MCP servers: across every agent harness, so you can test a from-scratch install or hand off a clean environment.

Destructive. The script defaults to a dry run; nothing is removed until you confirm a mode.

Process

1. Inventory (dry run)

Run the bundled script with no flags. It lists exactly what exists and would be removed, grouped by agent, and changes nothing:

bash ~/.claude/skills/reset-agent-env/scripts/reset-agent-env.sh

Show the user the output.

2. Confirm scope and mode

Ask the user two things:

Which agents? All (default), or a subset via repeatable --agent: claude · agents (the ~/.agents/skills standard dir) · cursor · windsurf · antigravity.
Backup or hard delete?
- --apply (recommended): moves everything into ~/.cache/agent-env-reset/<timestamp>/, so it's reversible.
- --hard: deletes outright, no backup.

3. Execute

Run with the chosen flags plus --yes (the user already confirmed):

# everything, reversible:
bash ~/.claude/skills/reset-agent-env/scripts/reset-agent-env.sh --apply --yes

# scoped + hard delete:
bash ~/.claude/skills/reset-agent-env/scripts/reset-agent-env.sh --hard --agent claude --agent cursor --yes

4. Report

Tell the user what was removed. For --apply, give the backup path and the restore hint (move files back out of the backup dir).

This skill lives under ~/.claude/skills, so a full Claude Code reset removes the skill itself: reinstall with npx skills@latest add C0nanT/skills before using it again.

What it touches

Agent	Targets
Claude Code	`~/.claude/skills`, `~/.claude/hooks-lib`, `~/.claude/hooks`, `~/.claude/commands`, `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`; surgically strips `.hooks` from `settings.json` / `settings.local.json` and `.mcpServers` from `~/.claude.json`
Agent-Skills standard	`~/.agents/skills`
Cursor	`~/.cursor/rules`, `~/.cursor/mcp.json`
Windsurf	`~/.codeium/windsurf/memories/global_rules.md`, `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`
Antigravity	`~/.antigravity`, `~/.config/antigravity` (best-effort)

Notes

Coverage is complete for Claude Code and the ~/.agents/skills dir; best-effort for Cursor / Windsurf / Antigravity: only paths that already exist are ever touched.
JSON edits are surgical: settings.json keeps your model, theme, and other preferences; only the .hooks key is removed.
The JSON steps need jq. Without it, they're skipped with a warning (file-based removals still run).

After resetting, reinstall to verify a clean setup:

npx skills@latest add C0nanT/skills
npx @c0nant/claude-hooks install
