Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by athola on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Uninstall Watchdog AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/athola/claude-night-market/tree/master/plugins/egregore/skills/uninstall-watchdog
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/athola/claude-night-market.git /tmp/claude-night-market
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-night-market/plugins/egregore/skills/uninstall-watchdog .claude/skills/uninstall-watchdog

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Uninstall Watchdog in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Uninstall Watchdog on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Uninstall Watchdog is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Uninstall Watchdog

Overview

Removes the egregore watchdog daemon and cleans up all files created by the install-watchdog skill. After uninstalling, egregore sessions will no longer be relaunched automatically.

When To Use

When you no longer want autonomous relaunching.
Before removing the egregore plugin from a project.
When switching from daemon mode to manual invocation.

When NOT To Use

When the watchdog was never installed (check first with the verify commands below).

Uninstall Steps

1. Detect the operating system

bash
OS=$(uname -s)

2. Stop and remove the service

macOS (launchd):

bash
PLIST=~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plist

# Unload the agent (stops it if running)
launchctl unload "$PLIST" 2>/dev/null

# Remove the plist file
rm -f "$PLIST"

Linux (systemd):

bash
# Stop and disable the timer and service
systemctl --user stop egregore-watchdog.timer 2>/dev/null
systemctl --user disable egregore-watchdog.timer 2>/dev/null

# Remove unit files
rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.timer
rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.service

# Reload systemd to pick up the removal
systemctl --user daemon-reload

3. Clean up associated files

bash
# Remove pidfile if present
rm -f ~/.egregore/watchdog.pid

# Remove watchdog log
rm -f ~/.egregore/watchdog.log

4. Confirm removal

macOS:

bash
launchctl list | grep egregore
# Should produce no output

Linux:

bash
systemctl --user list-timers | grep egregore
# Should produce no output

Report to the user that the watchdog has been removed and automatic relaunching is disabled.

Files Removed

File	Platform	Purpose
`~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plist`	macOS	launchd agent definition
`~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.timer`	Linux	systemd timer unit
`~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.service`	Linux	systemd service unit
`~/.egregore/watchdog.pid`	both	PID of last watchdog run
`~/.egregore/watchdog.log`	macOS	watchdog output log

Exit Criteria

On macOS: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plist does not exist after uninstall completes
On Linux: ~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.timer and egregore-watchdog.service are both removed and systemctl --user daemon-reload has run
Verification command returns empty output: launchctl list | grep egregore (macOS) or systemctl --user list-timers | grep egregore (Linux)
~/.egregore/watchdog.pid and ~/.egregore/watchdog.log are removed (or absent if they were never created)
User is notified that the watchdog has been removed and automatic relaunching is disabled

Frequently asked questions

What does the Uninstall Watchdog AI skill do?

Removes the egregore watchdog daemon and its associated files. Use when stopping automated session relaunching or cleaning up egregore infrastructure.

Why use Uninstall Watchdog on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Uninstall Watchdog is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Uninstall Watchdog in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/athola/claude-night-market/tree/master/plugins/egregore/skills/uninstall-watchdog. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Uninstall Watchdog?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Uninstall Watchdog?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Uninstall Watchdog with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Uninstall Watchdog AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by athola under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
