# Uninstall Extension
Remove an installed ClaudeClaw extension.
## Usage
```
/uninstall slack
/uninstall triage
```
## Flow
### 1. Validate
```bash
EXTENSION_NAME="${1}"
EXT_DIR="extensions/claudeclaw-${EXTENSION_NAME}"
[ ! -d "$EXT_DIR" ] && echo "Extension claudeclaw-${EXTENSION_NAME} is not installed." && exit 1
```
### 2. Read manifest
```bash
cat "$EXT_DIR/manifest.json"
```
### 3. Confirm with user
AskUserQuestion: "Uninstall claudeclaw-<name>? This will remove its skills, agents, and agent skills. The extension's data (groups, messages) is preserved."
### 4. Run post-uninstall hook
If `manifest.json` has `hooks.postUninstall`:
```bash
chmod +x "$EXT_DIR/hooks/uninstall.sh"
bash "$EXT_DIR/hooks/uninstall.sh" "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
```
### 5. Remove extension directory
```bash
rm -rf "$EXT_DIR"
```
### 6. Rebuild and restart
```bash
npm run build
```
Restart the service (same as install skill step 8).
### 7. Confirm
Print: "Extension claudeclaw-<name> uninstalled. Data in groups/ and store/ is preserved."Related Skills

Review and resolve PR issues with Qodo - get AI-powered code review issues and fix them interactively (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps)
get-qodo-rules
Loads org- and repo-level coding rules from Qodo before code tasks begin, ensuring all generation and modification follows team standards. Use before any code generation or modification task when rules are not already loaded. Invoke when user asks to write, edit, refactor, or review code, or when starting implementation planning.
debug
Debug container agent issues. Use when things aren't working, container fails, authentication problems, or to understand how the container system works. Covers logs, environment variables, mounts, and common issues.
