Clockify Unautomate

Clockify unautomate

Rollback, not a pause. Confirm, then remove Cursor glue and reset only automate-owned yaml to the plugin example defaults. Everything outside entry.automated stays (workspace pin, project, timer, manual).

Temporary disable while keeping forge/platform settings: clockify-automate-disable / clockify-automate-enable.

To remove .clockify/ entirely, use clockify-uninit.

Confirm

1. Inventory with tools if needed, then repeat the result in a normal chat message (markdown list of paths). Do not rely on tool snippets as the only listing.
2. Chat list: rule + Clockify-owned hooks (including .cursor/hooks/clockify-runaway.sh when present), and note empty dirs that will be removed if they become empty after cleanup. Note that entry.automated in .clockify/config.yml will be reset to example defaults (forge/settings.on_start/modes wiped). The managed .clockify/ gitignore line stays. plugin / scope / entry.timer / entry.manual are not touched.
3. Then AskQuestion with only a short confirm, e.g. “Roll back Clockify automate in this repo?” — do not put the inventory in the question box.
4. Do not delete .clockify/ or the managed .clockify/ gitignore line.
5. Do not uninstall the Clockify Agent Plugin unless the user explicitly asks.

Removals

1. Delete .cursor/rules/clockify.mdc only (leave other rules alone). Also delete leftover .cursor/rules/clockify-time.mdc if present — do not leave either file. If .cursor/rules/ is then empty, delete the empty directory. Never delete a non-empty rules/ dir or unrelated *.mdc files.

2. Edit .cursor/hooks.json: drop only Clockify-owned hook entries — those whose command references clockify-runaway / .cursor/hooks/clockify-runaway.sh, or that only invoke Clockify tools / were added by clockify-automate. Leave unrelated hooks intact. Delete .cursor/hooks/clockify-runaway.sh if present. If the file becomes empty or {} with no remaining hooks, delete hooks.json. If .cursor/hooks/ is then empty, delete the empty directory. Never delete unrelated hook scripts or a non-empty hooks/ dir. Do not delete .cursor/ wholesale.

3. If the managed gitignore stanza includes .cursor/rules/clockify.mdc, .cursor/rules/clockify-time.mdc, or .cursor/hooks/clockify-runaway.sh, remove those lines (the rule/script files are gone). Keep:

   # Clockify Agent Plugin — personal time-tracking (delete this block to share with the team)
   .clockify/
   

   Normal path: the .clockify/ stanza remains, so leave .gitignore in place. Edge case only: if after removing rule/hook-script lines the file is empty or whitespace-only, delete it (same as empty hooks.json). Never delete a non-empty .gitignore. Full stanza teardown (and deleting an emptied file) is clockify-uninit.

4. Reset entry.automated in .clockify/config.yml to match the plugin .clockify/config.yml.example automated block (do not delete the file; do not rewrite plugin, scope, entry.timer, or entry.manual):

   automated:
     enabled: false
     settings:
       include_seconds: false
       on_start:
         when_multiple_labels: first
         description:
           from: prompt
         task:
           from: none
           if_missing: none
       rounding:
         enabled: false
         increment_minutes: 15
         start_mode: nearest
         stop_mode: nearest
         minimum_minutes: 15
       overlap:
         on_conflict: prompt
       runaway:
         enabled: false
         stop_after_minutes: 45
     forge:
       github:
         enabled: false
       gitlab:
         enabled: false
       bitbucket:
         enabled: false
     triggers: []
     platforms:
       cursor:
         enabled: false
         modes: {}
   

   Prefer replacing the whole entry.automated mapping with the example defaults above so leftover forge/settings.on_start/modes keys cannot linger. If the user’s timer/manual rounding differs from the example, still only touch entry.automated — do not copy automated rounding onto timer/manual.

Do not

• Wipe unrelated Cursor hooks or rules
• Delete a non-empty .cursor/hooks/ or .cursor/rules/ directory
• Delete .cursor/ wholesale
• Delete .clockify/ or a non-empty .gitignore
• Leave forge / settings.on_start / platforms.cursor.modes in place “for convenience”
• Invent retain-vs-reask rules for a later /clockify-automate — the next automate run is a full wizard again
• Change scope.project (even if automate set fixed) unless the user asks — project pin is shared with timer/manual
• Uninstall Directory / local plugin or clear CLOCKIFY_API_KEY
• Treat tool output as the user-visible inventory (always restate paths in chat before AskQuestion)

After

Automate is fully rolled back. The user can /clockify-start-timer, /clockify-stop-timer, and /clockify-enter-time. Running /clockify-automate again asks the forge + Cursor wizards from scratch.
