uninstall

A command that removes MindLink files from the current project. It can remove the `.brain/` memory folder, generated agent instruction files, and a related Claude Code hook.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review and delete MindLink's files interactively, or skip confirmation with `--yes` in a script.
Why use it?
It cleans out project-level MindLink setup when the project no longer needs it, while leaving the globally installed command-line tool intact.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

uninstall scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Remove MindLink from the current project.

Run in your terminal only — this permanently removes files. Always prompts for confirmation first.


Synopsis

mindlink uninstall [--yes]

Description

Removes everything MindLink created in this project directory:

  • .brain/ folder and all memory files inside it
  • Agent instruction files (CLAUDE.md, CURSOR.md, etc.) that were created during mindlink init
  • .claude/settings.json hook (if Claude was one of the configured agents)

The MindLink CLI itself is not removed. To uninstall the CLI globally:

npm uninstall -g mindlink

MindLink reads config.json inside .brain/ to know which agent files to remove. If config is unreadable, it removes all known agent files as a safe default.


Options

Flag Description
--yes, -y Skip confirmation and remove everything immediately

Examples

mindlink uninstall          # interactive — shows what will be removed, asks to confirm
mindlink uninstall --yes    # skip confirmation (useful in scripts)

What Gets Removed

.brain/                 (all memory files)
CLAUDE.md               (if Claude was configured)
CURSOR.md               (if Cursor was configured)
AGENTS.md               (if Codex was configured)
GEMINI.md               (if Gemini was configured)
.github/copilot-instructions.md  (if Copilot was configured)
.windsurfrules          (if Windsurf was configured)
.clinerules             (if Cline was configured)
CONVENTIONS.md          (if Aider was configured)
.claude/settings.json   (if Claude was configured)

What Stays

  • The mindlink CLI itself
  • Any files MindLink did not create

Error: Not Initialized

✗  No .brain/ found in this directory.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
