uninstall

/contour:uninstall

Remove Contour from this system. Cleans up CLAUDE.md injection and optionally deletes data files.

Safe by design: only removes content with Contour markers or Contour-prefixed filenames. Never touches files it didn't create.

---

Step 1 — Confirm intent

Ask (AskUserQuestion):

"This will remove Contour's monitoring injection from CLAUDE.md. Continue?"

Options: Yes, uninstall / No, cancel

If "No, cancel" → STOP.

---

Step 2 — Remove CLAUDE.md injection and rules file

2a — Remove CLAUDE.md entry block

Target file: ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md

1. Read the file
2. Find the block bounded by <!-- Contour --> and <!-- End Contour --> (inclusive of both marker lines)
3. If found: delete the entire block (and any blank line immediately preceding it)
4. If not found: note "No Contour injection found in CLAUDE.md" and continue
5. Write the updated file back

2b — Remove hooks from settings.json

Target file: ~/.claude/settings.json

1. If the file does not exist: skip silently
2. Read and parse the file
3. Remove the Contour SessionStart hook: in hooks.SessionStart, find the entry whose command contains the Contour data directory path (e.g., .claude/contour or the resolved $AI_INFRA_DIR) and remove it
4. Remove the Contour Stop hook: in hooks.Stop, find the entry whose command contains cognitive-monitor.ts and remove it
5. If any hook array is now empty: remove that key. If hooks object is now empty: remove it entirely.
6. Write the updated file back

2c — Delete hook script

Target file: {AI_INFRA_DIR}/hooks/cognitive-monitor.ts

• If found: delete it
• If the hooks/ directory is now empty: remove the directory
• If not found: skip silently

2d — Delete rules file

Target file: ~/.claude/rules/contour-monitoring.md

• If found: delete it
• If not found: skip silently

---

Step 3 — Ask about data files

Resolve the data directory: check $AI_INFRA_DIR, fall back to ~/.claude/contour/.

Ask (AskUserQuestion):

"Delete your Contour data files in {resolved_path}? This includes Core Profile, Domain State, and Extract Buffer. This cannot be undone."

Options: Yes, delete data files / No, keep data files

If Yes:

• List all files in the directory
• Delete only files matching these patterns:
  • *-core.md
  • *-*.md (Domain State files)
  • extract-buffer.md
  • hooks/cognitive-monitor.ts (and the hooks/ subdirectory if empty)
• If the directory is now empty, remove it
• If the directory still contains other files (user-created), leave it in place

If No:

• Skip deletion, note the path so the user knows where files remain

---

Step 4 — Report

Contour uninstall complete ({date}):

CLAUDE.md:     injection block removed (restart Claude Code to take effect)
settings.json: SessionStart + Stop hooks removed
Hook script:   {AI_INFRA_DIR}/hooks/cognitive-monitor.ts removed
Data files:    {deleted / kept at {path}}

Next step:
  claude plugin uninstall Alexu0317-FATHER/contour

Render the report in the user's language if detectable from the session; otherwise use English.

Safety rules

• Never delete files that don't match the patterns above
• Never delete ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md itself — only edit it
• If any file operation fails, report the failure and continue with remaining steps
• If CLAUDE.md does not exist, skip Step 2 silently
