Squad Dismiss - Deactivate Agent System

Dismiss the claude-agents squad and restore previous configuration state.

Dismissal Options

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Available dismissal modes:

1. Global Dismissal (default): Remove from ~/.claude/
2. Local Dismissal (--local): Remove from current project's .claude/
3. Keep Config (--keep-config): Remove agents but preserve CLAUDE.md

What Squad Dismiss Does

Safely removes agent configuration and restores backup state:

1. Remove active agents directory
2. Restore backup CLAUDE.md (unless --keep-config)
3. Preserve disabled_agents for future deployment
4. Clean up temporary files

Pre-Dismissal Check

Check current deployment status:

!echo "🔍 Current agent deployment status:" !ls -la ~/.claude/agents/ 2>/dev/null || echo "ℹ️ No global agents deployed" !ls -la ./.claude/agents/ 2>/dev/null || echo "ℹ️ No local agents deployed"

!echo "📦 Available backups:" !ls -la ~/.claude/backups/ 2>/dev/null | head -5 || echo "ℹ️ No backups found"

Dismissal Target Analysis

Parse arguments to determine dismissal scope:

Dismissal Mode: $ARGUMENTS

• Contains --local → Remove local project agents only
• Contains --global → Remove global agents only
• Contains --keep-config → Preserve CLAUDE.md configuration
• No arguments → Default global dismissal

Agent Removal Process

Remove agents based on target:

1. Identify target directory (global ~/.claude/ or local ./.claude/)
2. Backup current state before removal
3. Remove agents directory completely
4. Report removal status

Configuration Restoration

Unless --keep-config is specified:

1. Find most recent backup CLAUDE.md
2. Restore backup to target location
3. Report restoration status

If --keep-config:

• Keep existing CLAUDE.md intact
• Only remove agents directory

Post-Dismissal State

After successful dismissal:

• Agents no longer available for delegation
• Claude returns to standard operation mode
• Original configuration restored (if backup available)
• Disabled agents remain available for future deployment

Cleanup

Remove any temporary files and verify clean dismissal:

!echo "✅ Squad dismissal verification:" !ls -la ~/.claude/agents/ 2>/dev/null || echo "✅ Global agents removed" !ls -la ./.claude/agents/ 2>/dev/null || echo "✅ Local agents removed"

🎯 Squad dismissed! Claude returned to standard operation mode.
