# Atelier Pipeline -- Uninstall

This skill removes the Atelier Pipeline multi-agent orchestration system from the user's project. It is careful, transparent, and non-destructive by default.

<procedure id="uninstall">

## Uninstall Procedure

### Step 1: Inventory Installed Files

Before removing anything, scan the project to build a complete inventory of what was installed by the pipeline.

**Core pipeline files (installed by pipeline-setup):**

```
.cursor/rules/
  default-persona.md
  agent-system.md
  pipeline-orchestration.md
  pipeline-models.md
  branch-lifecycle.md

.cursor/agents/  (core agents only)
  sarah.md
  colby.md
  robert.md
  sable.md
  investigator.md
  distillator.md
  ellis.md
  agatha.md
  sentinel.md          (if Sentinel was enabled)

.cursor/commands/
  pm.md
  ux.md
  architect.md
  debug.md
  pipeline.md
  devops.md
  docs.md

.cursor/references/
  dor-dod.md
  retro-lessons.md
  invocation-templates.md
  pipeline-operations.md
  agent-preamble.md
  qa-checks.md
  branch-mr-mode.md
  xml-prompt-schema.md

.cursor/hooks/
  enforce-paths.sh
  enforce-sequencing.sh
  enforce-pipeline-activation.sh
  enforce-git.sh
  warn-dor-dod.sh
  pre-compact.sh
  enforcement-config.json

.cursor/pipeline-config.json
.cursor/.atelier-version

docs/pipeline/
  pipeline-state.md
  context-brief.md
  error-patterns.md
  investigation-ledger.md
  last-qa-report.md
```

**Detect each file's existence** using Glob and build three lists:

1. **Core pipeline files** -- files matching the manifest above that exist on disk
2. **User-created custom agents** -- any `.md` files in `.cursor/agents/` whose YAML frontmatter `name` does NOT match a core agent (sarah, colby, ellis, agatha, robert, sable, investigator, distillator, sentinel)
3. **Retro lessons content** -- check if `.cursor/references/retro-lessons.md` contains any content beyond the empty template markers

### Step 2: Present Removal Plan

Display the full removal plan to the user BEFORE touching any files. Organize by category:

```
Pipeline Uninstall Plan
=======================

WILL REMOVE (core pipeline files):
  .cursor/rules/           -- [N] files (Eva persona, orchestration rules, models, branch lifecycle)
  .cursor/agents/          -- [N] core agent files (sarah, colby, ...)
  .cursor/commands/        -- [N] files (slash command definitions)
  .cursor/references/      -- [N] files (quality framework, templates, operations)
  .cursor/hooks/           -- [N] files (enforcement scripts and config)
  .cursor/pipeline-config.json
  .cursor/.atelier-version
  docs/pipeline/           -- [N] files (pipeline state, context, error patterns)

WILL MODIFY:
  .cursor/settings.json    -- Remove hook registrations (PreToolUse, SubagentStop, PreCompact)
  AGENTS.md                -- Remove "Pipeline System (Atelier Pipeline)" section

WILL PRESERVE (not removed):
  [List any user-created custom agents found in .cursor/agents/]
  [If retro-lessons.md has content: "retro-lessons.md contains [N] lessons -- see Step 3"]
  [If no custom agents and retro-lessons is empty: "No user content to preserve."]

Total files to remove: [count]
Total files to modify: [count]
```

### Step 3: Handle Preservable Content

**Retro lessons:** If `.cursor/references/retro-lessons.md` contains content beyond the empty template, ask the user:

> Your retro lessons file contains accumulated knowledge from past pipelines.
> Would you like to:
> 1. **Keep it** -- I'll copy it to `docs/retro-lessons-backup.md` before removing the pipeline
> 2. **Remove it** -- Delete it along with everything else

If the user chooses to keep it, copy the file to `docs/retro-lessons-backup.md` before proceeding with removal.
