Removes installed agent skills from every AI agent on the machine (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor...) behind a keep list, an archive and a confirmation gate. Use when asked to uninstall installed skills.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Agent Skills Purge

Delete installed skills across every agent on the machine, keeping only what the user names. One agent's skills directory is easy to clear by hand; the problem this solves is that a dozen agents each read their own path, half of those paths hold links into a shared store or a git clone, and the same skill exists under four names at four locations.

Why the ceremony: deleting through a link, not the link itself, is how a purge eats a git clone that was never in scope. And a skill directory is not always what it looks like — `~/.claude/skills/foo` can be a real folder, a symlink into `~/.agents/skills`, or a junction into a repository under active development. Each needs a different removal, and telling them apart is the whole job.

## Core principle

NOTHING IS DELETED UNTIL THREE THINGS HOLD: the full inventory has been shown to the user, the keep list is agreed, and the user has explicitly confirmed. Everything before the gate is read-only.

Three invariants hold throughout:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add khasky/awesome-agent-skills/awesome-skills-purge@sha256:438b22b946e8768d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.a19c2a5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
