How do I restore the Intent Layer after cleaning?

You can restore the infrastructure at any time by running the /intent-layer setup skill again or by reverting the changes in your version control system.

What happens if my root AGENTS.md is not a symlink?

If the skill detects that the root AGENTS.md is a real file rather than a symlink, it will alert you and ask for explicit permission before proceeding with the deletion.

Does it handle nested AGENTS.md files?

Yes, it recursively searches your repository to find and identify all distributed AGENTS.md files for removal.

Will this delete my entire CLAUDE.md file?

No, the skill is designed to only target and remove the '## Intent Layer' section. All other content and instructions in your CLAUDE.md are preserved.

Developer Tools

Removes all Intent Layer infrastructure and AGENTS.md files from your repository while preserving core project instructions.

Intent Layer Clean provides a safe and automated way to decommission the Intent Layer framework from your codebase. It intelligently identifies and removes distributed AGENTS.md files, handles root symlinks, and cleans up specific Intent Layer sections within your CLAUDE.md file without affecting other critical documentation. This skill is essential for developers who need to reset an experimental setup, perform a major architectural refactor, or transition away from the Intent Layer while maintaining a clean, clutter-free repository.
