Uninstall Pith from Claude Code. Removes hooks, slash commands, and
cleans pith entries from settings.json. Preserves ~/.pith/state.json
(token history) unless user explicitly asks to wipe all data.
---
## When to use
- User runs `/pith uninstall`
- User asks "remove pith", "uninstall pith", or "clean up pith"
---
## Steps
### 1 — Confirm intent
Before running, ask once:
```
This will remove:
• ~/.claude/hooks/pith/ (all hook scripts)
• ~/.claude/commands/pith.md, budget.md, focus.md
• pith entries in ~/.claude/settings.json
Your project wikis (wiki/) and token history (~/.pith/) are NOT deleted.
Proceed? (yes / no)
```
If user says no, stop. If yes, continue.
### 2 — Run the uninstall script
Locate the pith directory (same logic as pith-install step 1), then:
```bash
bash "<pith_dir>/uninstall.sh"
```
Stream the output so user sees each item removed.
### 3 — Verify clean
```bash
# Hooks gone
ls ~/.claude/hooks/pith/ 2>/dev/null && echo "STILL EXISTS" || echo "removed ok"
# Slash commands gone
ls ~/.claude/commands/ | grep -E "pith|budget|focus" 2>/dev/null && echo "STILL EXISTS" || echo "removed ok"
# Settings clean
node -e "const s=require(require('os').homedir()+'/.claude/settings.json'); const h=JSON.stringify(s.hooks||''); console.log(h.includes('pith')?'pith still in hooks':'hooks clean'); console.log(s.statusLine?'statusLine still set':'statusLine clean')"
```
### 4 — Optionally wipe all data
If the user said "remove everything" or "wipe all data", also run:
```bash
rm -rf ~/.pith
rm -f ~/.config/pith/config.json
```
Warn first: "This deletes your lifetime token savings history. Are you sure?"
### 5 — Confirm to user
```
Pith uninstalled.
Removed:
✓ hooks (session-start, post-tool-use, prompt-submit, stop)
✓ slash commands (/pith, /budget, /focus)
✓ settings.json entries
Preserved:
• wiki/ directories in your projects
• ~/.pith/state.json (token history)
To reinstall: /pith install
```

## Error handling
| Error | Fix |
|-------|-----|
| `uninstall.sh` not found | Run the node cleanup inline: remove `~/.claude/hooks/pith`, delete command files, patch settings manually |
| `settings.json` malformed | Show the file, offer to remove pith keys manually |
| Hook files already missing | Skip silently, still clean settings.json |
One-shot. Does not persist.
