Clear Skills Skill

Overview

Scans and removes AI agent rules/skills files from all major AI coding platforms on your machine. Supports 50+ platforms, covering both project-level and user-global scopes, running on Windows · macOS · Linux.

Core Features:

- ✅ Smart Scanning: Only removes files/directories that actually exist. Platforms not installed or without rules won't be shown or removed
✅ Self-Protection: By default, this skill (clear-skills) is protected and won't be cleared, allowing safe cleanup of other platforms
✅ Auto Backup: Automatically backs up to desktop before deletion, allowing recovery anytime
✅ Preview Mode: Use --dry-run to confirm which files will be deleted before actually removing them
✅ Flexible Control: Supports filtering by platform, scope, project directory, and more
✅ Pure Python: Uses only Python 3 standard library, no external dependencies required

All Supported Platforms:

Usage

Step 1: Confirm User Intent

After receiving a cleanup request, confirm the following with the user (skip if already specified):

1. Cleanup Scope: Current project only (project), global only (global), or both (all, default)?
Platform Scope: All platforms, or specific platforms only?
Backup: Back up to desktop by default. Users can disable with --no-backup (not recommended).

Step 2: Execute Script

Call scripts/clear_agent_rules.py. This script uses pure Python 3 standard library only, no additional dependencies needed.

Quick Start Examples

CODEBLOCK0

Clear only specified platforms

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --platforms cursor,claude,copilot

Clear only OpenClaw ecosystem (including QClaw, CoPaw, etc.)

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --platforms openclaw,qclaw,copaw

Clear only QoderWork skills

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --platforms qoderwork

Clear only current project rules

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --mode project

Clear only global rules

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --mode global

Specify project directory

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --project /path/to/myproject

No backup (dangerous, use with caution)

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --no-backup

Non-interactive execution (skip YES confirmation, suitable for scripts/CI)

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --yes

Clear all WorkBuddy skills including this one (dangerous)

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --mode global --include-self


### Advanced Usage

bash

Clear only AI IDE platforms (Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, etc.)

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --platforms cursor,windsurf,cline,trae,amazonq,continue

Clear only CLI tools (Claude Code, Copilot, Aider, etc.)

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --platforms claude,copilot,aider,gemini,codex

Clear only project-level rules for specific platforms

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --mode project --platforms cursor,copilot

Scan specific project directory

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --project /path/to/specific/project

Export scan results without deleting (for manual review)

python scripts/clearagentrules.py --dry-run > scan_results.txt


> **Note**: On Windows, `python` command might be `python3` or `py`, depending on your environment.

## Safety Mechanisms

- **Default Backup**: Backs up all files to desktop before deletion (

~/Desktop/agent-rules-backup-timestamp/

), allowing recovery anytime.
- **Preview Mode**: Use

--dry-run

 to confirm which files will be deleted before actually executing.
- **Confirmation Prompt**: Requires manual

YES

 confirmation by default to prevent accidental operations.
- **Self-Protection (Enabled by Default)**:
  - When running

--mode global or --mode all

, this skill (clear-skills) is **protected by default** and won't be cleared.
  - This allows safe cleanup of other platforms' rules without worrying about deleting the tool itself.
  - If you truly need to delete this skill, use

--include-self

 to disable self-protection.
- **Smart Scanning**: The script only scans and deletes files/directories that **actually exist**. If certain platforms are not installed on your system or their rule files don't exist, those empty targets won't be shown or deleted.

## FAQ

**Q: Will this delete my project code?**
A: No. This tool only removes AI agent rule/skill files (e.g.,

.cursorrules, CLAUDE.md, .workbuddy/skills/

). Your source code and other files are completely safe.

**Q: Can I recover deleted files?**
A: Yes. All files are automatically backed up to your desktop before deletion. You can manually copy them back if needed.

**Q: What if I only want to clear one platform?**
A: Use the

--platforms parameter to specify which platforms to clean. Example: python scripts/clearagentrules.py --platforms cursor,copilot



**Q: Why doesn't this skill get deleted when I clear global rules?**
A: This is an intentional self-protection feature. The skill needs to exist to be able to clear itself. Use

--include-self

 if you really want to delete it too.

**Q: Does this work on Windows/macOS/Linux?**
A: Yes. The script uses pure Python and handles all three operating systems automatically.

**Q: Can I run this in a CI/CD pipeline?**
A: Yes. Use

--yes --no-backup

 flags for non-interactive execution. Use with caution in automated environments.

---

## Troubleshooting

**Permission Denied Errors**
- If you encounter permission errors, try running the script with appropriate permissions (e.g., administrator/root)
- On Windows, some directories may require elevated privileges

**Large Backup Size**
- If the backup is too large, use

--no-backup` (not recommended) or manually manage backup location

- Consider cleaning up old backup folders from your desktop

Platform Not Found

- If a platform isn't detected, it means the platform isn't installed or has no rule files
This is normal behavior—the script only targets existing files

使用方法

步骤 1：确认用户意图

收到清理请求后，与用户确认以下内容（如果已指定则跳过）：

1. 清理范围：仅当前项目（project）、仅全局（global）或两者（all，默认）？
平台范围：所有平台，还是仅特定平台？
备份：默认备份到桌面。用户可使用 --no-backup 禁用（不推荐）。
