disable

Disable a community skill installed through the hub without removing its files. Use when the user wants to temporarily quiet a community skill ("disable [skill]"), stop its hooks from firing while keeping its config, or re-enable a previously disabled skill.

/disable Run the disable workflow from the skill manager reference skill against the named skill. What disable does: Renames the skill's SKILL.md to SKILL.md.disabled so Claude no longer discovers it as an active skill. Files, references, templates, and config stay in place. If the skill ships hooks in hooks/hooks.json , also rename that file to hooks.json.disabled so no automatic triggers fire while the skill is disabled. Logs the action to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude for legal/legal builder hub/install log.yaml . Safety rules: 1. Only disable community skills installed through this hub. Same check as uninstall — consult the install log and CLAUDE.md installed table. 2. Never disable a first party plugin's skill. Off limits. 3. Confirm before renaming. Show the paths, get explicit yes . Re enable by running the command again with the same skill name — the skill manager workflow recognizes a disabled skill and flips the rename back. Detailed uninstall, disable, and re enable workflows live in the skill manager reference skill — load it before doing substantive work.
