## chainctl skills uninstall

Remove a skill from agent directories on the local machine.

### Synopsis

Remove a skill from agent directories on the local machine.

<name> is the skill name (no org or tag needed — operates on local files only).

By default uninstall removes the project-local copy. If a global copy also
exists, it is left in place and a warning is printed; re-run with --global to
remove it.

uninstall is a local-only operation and does not modify the registry.

```
chainctl skills uninstall <name> [flags]
```

### Options

```
  -a, --agent stringArray   Remove from specific agents only (default: all installed locations).
      --global              Remove from global directories instead of project-local.
  -y, --yes                 Automatic yes to prompts; assume "yes" as answer to all prompts and run non-interactively.
