Automated summary

Produces a reviewed plan and then executes removal of SCC Firewall Manager runtime artifacts: Homebrew, pipx or legacy Python installs, the managed Ansible companion, the cisco.sccfm Galaxy collection, and optional named profiles.

Strengths

  • Cleanly separates plan generation, exact user confirmation, and execution, with a plan_digest that blocks execution if the target set changed
  • Discovers and reports each installation method and version independently so multiple installs can be reviewed and removed together
  • Preserves editable Python installs and non-standard collections by default, and requires a distinct "AND PROFILES" confirmation before deleting profiles and their API tokens
  • Explicitly forbids hand-built pip uninstall or recursive-delete commands, routing everything through the packaged helper

Limitations

  • Covers uninstall only — no installation, repair, CLI operations, or Ansible automation
  • Does not remove the plugin itself; that step stays manual via /plugin uninstall or codex plugin remove
  • Fully interactive: the mandated confirmation strings make it hard to automate end to end
  • Reports profile metadata only and never reads or displays profile contents
When to use it

Use it when the user wants to uninstall, tear down, or fully clean up a local SCC Firewall Manager installation.

When not to use it

Do not use it to install or repair SCCFM, run CLI commands, or drive Ansible automation.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score90/100

This is a destructive uninstall workflow, but it does not exfiltrate data, use obfuscated payloads, or instruct manual recursive deletion. The main risk is authorized removal of installed components and optional profile/token stores. Strong confirmation and digest-based plan validation make it acceptable with caution rather than risky.

Findings
  • •Runs a packaged Python helper via `Bash(python3 *)` that performs uninstall/teardown actions, including removal of Homebrew, pipx, Python packages, and optionally named profiles with stored API tokens.
  • •The `Bash(python3 *)` permission is broader than the specific helper invocations, though the instructions constrain usage to the packaged helper.
  • •Destructive actions are guarded by plan display, `plan_digest`, exact confirmation phrases, and helper-side target revalidation, which materially reduce risk.
How this analysis is made

Examples

Full SCCFM uninstall
Uninstall SCC Firewall Manager from this machine — show me the full cleanup plan first before anything is removed.
Uninstall including profiles
Remove SCCFM and also delete the named profiles and their stored API tokens.
Verify teardown
Check with the doctor command that sccfm-cli, the cisco.sccfm collection, and the profile are all gone.

SCC Firewall Manager Uninstall

Remove SCCFM runtime artifacts before removing this plugin. Use only the packaged helper; do not construct manual pip uninstall or recursive-delete commands.

Resolve the plugin root from this loaded SKILL.md once. Set PLUGIN_ROOT to that absolute directory and use it for every packaged-helper invocation below. Do not assume that the shell's current directory is the plugin root.

1. Generate the reviewed plan

Resolve this skill's plugin root, then run:

python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/setup_runtime.py" cleanup-plan --json

Add --remove-profiles only when the user explicitly asks to delete named profiles and their stored API tokens. The helper reports profile metadata but never reads or displays profile contents.

The plan discovers the canonical ciscodevnet/tap/sccfm-cli Homebrew formula, the managed pipx environment, the helper-owned Homebrew Ansible companion, non-editable Python installs, and the positively identified standard Galaxy collection. It reports each installation method and version independently so multiple installs can be reviewed and removed together. Never infer Homebrew ownership from an executable path or remove a same-named formula from another tap. The reviewed Homebrew command disables automatic dependency removal so it mutates only the SCCFM formula.

The helper preserves collections outside the standard per-user path. It also preserves editable Python installs by default; if any are reported, explain their source and ask whether the user also wants to remove those development installs. Only after that explicit choice, regenerate the plan with --include-editable.

Show the complete plan, including preserved artifacts and plan_digest. Do not continue if discovery or path validation fails.

2. Require exact confirmation

When profiles are preserved, require the standalone confirmation:

UNINSTALL SCCFM

When profiles and their API tokens will be deleted, require:

UNINSTALL SCCFM AND PROFILES

AND PROFILES explicitly authorizes deletion of the named-profile store and its API tokens. The confirmation authorizes only the reviewed plan. It does not authorize different targets, editable installs that were not included in that plan, or plugin removal.

3. Execute the same plan

After confirmation, use the same options and the exact digest returned by the plan:

python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/setup_runtime.py" cleanup --plan-digest <digest> --yes

Include --remove-profiles and --include-editable exactly when they appeared in the reviewed plan. The helper recomputes discovery and refuses to proceed if the target set changed after review.

The helper removes the standard Galaxy collection and its owned Ansible companion first, then reviewed pipx, Homebrew, and discovered Python packages, and finally the profile when requested. Never bypass a helper refusal with direct filesystem deletion.

4. Verify and remove the plugin separately

Run:

python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/setup_runtime.py" doctor --json

Teardown is complete only when the requested CLI packages, collection, and profile are absent. A preserved editable install is not an error when the user chose to keep it.

After successful teardown, tell the user that plugin removal is separate. Use /plugin uninstall sccfm@sccfm-devkit in Claude Code or codex plugin remove sccfm@sccfm-devkit in Codex.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/sccfm-uninstall-mtwgrtdk/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/sccfm-uninstall-mtwgrtdk' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/sccfm-uninstall-mtwgrtdk/download' --output '.skill-downloads/sccfm-uninstall-mtwgrtdk/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/sccfm-uninstall-mtwgrtdk/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/sccfm-uninstall-mtwgrtdk/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Bash(python3 *) Read

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/sccfm-uninstall-mtwgrtdk'

openskills read 'sccfm-uninstall-mtwgrtdk'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/sccfm-uninstall-mtwgrtdk/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
