Description

Problem

The npx plugins CLI only has an add command — there's no way to remove a plugin once it's been added. If you want to uninstall a plugin, you have to do it manually.

Also, it'd be great if the plugin were open-sourced so the community could contribute and inspect the source.

Solution

  1. Add a remove (or uninstall) subcommand to the CLI, e.g. npx plugins remove <plugin-name>
  2. Open-source plugins CLI

Research direction

Start by locating the TypeScript entry point for the npx plugins CLI and reading the existing add command. Clarify how plugin removal should work and what publishing the CLI source entails. Done means a usable remove or uninstall subcommand and an openly inspectable, contribution-ready plugin source.
