Run before (or after) `claude plugin uninstall yas`, which only deletes the plugin cache and leaves the statusLine config behind."

Reverse `/yas:init`. Remove the `statusLine` block from `settings.json` in `$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` (default `~/.claude/`), only when it points at this plugin's renderer, and delete the runtime logs and per-session payloads the renderer wrote.
`claude plugin uninstall yas@yet-another-statusline` only deletes the plugin *cache* — Claude Code keeps reading `statusLine.command` from settings.json and tries to run the now-missing script. This skill clears that config so the statusline actually stops.
Leaves untouched: a custom (non-yas) statusLine, the `settings.json.bak-yas-*` backups, the user's `yas.toml` config file, and any `make install` dev symlinks.
## Step 0: Resolve config dir
```bash
CONFIG_DIR="${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"
SETTINGS="$CONFIG_DIR/settings.json"
printf " Config dir: %s\n" "$CONFIG_DIR"
```
## Step 1: Inspect the current statusLine
```bash
if [ ! -f "$SETTINGS" ]; then
printf " No settings.json — nothing to unwire.\n"
CFG_STATE="absent"
else
CMD=$(jq -r '.statusLine.command // ""' "$SETTINGS" 2>/dev/null) # timeout: 5000
if [ -z "$CMD" ]; then
printf " No statusLine configured — nothing to remove.\n"
CFG_STATE="none"
elif printf '%s' "$CMD" | grep -q "statusline_command.py"; then
printf " Found yas statusLine: %s\n" "$CMD"
CFG_STATE="yas"
else
printf "! statusLine points elsewhere — not a yas command:\n %s\n Leaving it untouched.\n" "$CMD"
CFG_STATE="foreign"
fi
fi
```
`statusline_command.py` is the signature of this project's renderer (used by both the plugin-cache path and the dev checkout path from the README). If `CFG_STATE` is anything other than `yas`, **skip Step 2** — do not edit `statusLine`.
## Step 2: Back up, then remove the statusLine block
Only when `CFG_STATE` is `yas`:
```bash
BAK_TS=$(date -u +%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ)
cp "$SETTINGS" "$SETTINGS.bak-yas-${BAK_TS}" # timeout: 5000
printf " Backed up → settings.json.bak-yas-%s\n" "$BAK_TS"
_result=$(jq 'del(.statusLine)' "$SETTINGS") # timeout: 5000
[ $? -eq 0 ] && [ -n "$_result" ] || { printf "! jq failed — settings.json unchanged\n"; exit 1; }
_tmp=$(mktemp "$SETTINGS.XXXXXXXXXX")
printf '%s\n' "$_result" > "$_tmp" \
|| { rm -f "$_tmp"; printf "! write failed — settings.json unchanged\n"; exit 1; }
mv "$_tmp" "$SETTINGS" # timeout: 3000
if jq empty "$SETTINGS" 2>/dev/null; then # timeout: 5000
printf " Removed statusLine from settings.json\n"
else
cp "$SETTINGS.bak-yas-${BAK_TS}" "$SETTINGS"
printf "! Result was invalid JSON — restored from backup\n"
exit 1
fi
```
## Step 3: Delete runtime state
The renderer writes these as it runs. Safe to remove; they regenerate if the statusline is ever reinstalled. `yas.toml` is deliberately preserved — it is the user's own configuration, not YAS-generated state.
```bash
# Consolidated state tree (current versions)
if [ -d "$CONFIG_DIR/yas" ]; then
rm -rf "$CONFIG_DIR/yas" && printf " Removed yas/\n"
fi
# Legacy flat paths (older versions, pre-migration)
for f in statusline-tokens.log statusline-token-rate.log statusline-render.log \
statusline-theme terminal-width yas-last-prompt.json yas.toml.cache; do
if [ -e "$CONFIG_DIR/$f" ]; then
rm -f "$CONFIG_DIR/$f" && printf " Removed legacy %s\n" "$f"
fi
done
if [ -d "$CONFIG_DIR/statusline-output" ]; then
rm -rf "$CONFIG_DIR/statusline-output" && printf " Removed legacy statusline-output/\n"
fi
# Legacy: older versions wrote per-session info files here
for f in "$CONFIG_DIR"/statusline-info-*; do
[ -e "$f" ] || continue
rm -f "$f" && printf " Removed legacy %s\n" "$(basename "$f")"
done
```
(Use the resolved `$CONFIG_DIR` — not a hardcoded `~/.claude`.)
## Step 4: Report
Count, but do not delete, the init/uninstall backups:
```bash
N_BAK=$(ls -1 "$CONFIG_DIR"/settings.json.bak-yas-* 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
[ "$N_BAK" -gt 0 ] && printf " Kept %s settings.json.bak-yas-* backup(s) in %s\n" "$N_BAK" "$CONFIG_DIR"
```
Then print a summary:
```
Done. statusLine config and runtime state removed.
Still installed (this skill does not remove these):
• the plugin itself — run: claude plugin uninstall yas@yet-another-statusline
• your config — yas.toml
• backups — settings.json.bak-yas-* (delete by hand if you want)
Reload Claude Code to clear the statusline.
```
If `CFG_STATE` was `foreign`, remind the user their custom statusLine was kept on purpose.
