Contributor Mode Off

Contributor Mode Off — revoke widened /ievo:feedback diagnostics

Reverts /ievo:feedback to its default payload: environment context only, no offer to attach the tool-failure/permission-denial capture stream. Removes .ievo/contributor.flag. Any candidates already accumulated in .ievo/evolution-candidates/ (by /ievo:evo-auto-enable, independent of this flag) are left exactly as they were.

Enabled with /ievo:contributor-mode-on, disabled here.

When to use

• User says "turn off contributor mode", "disable contributor mode", "stop sharing diagnostics", "revoke contributor mode"
• Handing the project to someone who should not have the widened /ievo:feedback attachment option available

Steps

1. Check if contributor mode is currently on

If <project>/.ievo/contributor.flag does not exist → already off. Tell the user:

iEvo contributor mode is already OFF (no .ievo/contributor.flag found).
/ievo:feedback only ever offers its default environment-context payload.

Exit.

2. Read flag content for the closing summary

Read .ievo/contributor.flag and capture enabled_at for the confirmation message.

3. Remove the flag

POSIX hosts (macOS / Linux / WSL) — use Bash with rm -f for idempotence:

rm -f <project>/.ievo/contributor.flag

Windows hosts (PowerShell, no POSIX shell):

Remove-Item -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue '<project>\.ievo\contributor.flag'

Cross-platform fallback via the Bash tool if Node is available:

node -e "try { require('fs').unlinkSync('<project>/.ievo/contributor.flag') } catch (e) { if (e.code !== 'ENOENT') throw e }"

(There is no Write-tool "delete" operation. The narrow-scope rm/Remove-Item/unlink targets one named file — no glob, no recursion — and is idempotent, so it handles the race between Step 1's existence check and this step.)

4. Confirm to user

Print:

🧬 iEvo contributor mode DISABLED

Was enabled: <enabled_at from flag>
/ievo:feedback no longer offers to attach the tool-failure/permission-denial
capture stream — back to environment context only.

Any candidates already captured under .ievo/evolution-candidates/ (via
/ievo:evo-auto-enable) are untouched and still available for /ievo:evo review.

Re-enable: /ievo:contributor-mode-on

Rules

• Non-destructive: do NOT touch .ievo/evolution-candidates/ — that capture stream belongs to /ievo:evo-auto-enable, not this flag, and disabling this flag must not discard anything captured there.
• Idempotent: if already off, just say so — no error.
• Flag only: this skill removes .ievo/contributor.flag and nothing else.
