deactivate-plugin

Remove a plugin's activation from the current project's .claude/settings.json. The plugin stays installed — only the project-level enable flag is removed.

Inputs

The user names a plugin. If ambiguous, run list-active first.

Steps

Determine project root (cwd or nearest .git/.claude ancestor).

Read <project>/.claude/settings.json. If missing or enabledPlugins is empty, tell the user nothing's active and stop.

Find the matching key in enabledPlugins. The user may give just the plugin name (e.g. podcast-production) or the full activation key (podcast-production@danielrosehill). Match on either.

If the plugin is set to false (explicitly disabled rather than enabled), surface that and ask whether to remove the entry entirely or leave the disable in place.

Delete the key. Write the file back with 2-space indentation, preserving other keys.

Confirm: plugin name, file edited, plus the restart Claude Code reminder.

Safety

Project-scoped only. Never touch user-global config.

If enabledPlugins becomes empty after removal, leave it as {} rather than deleting the key — keeps the schema stable.

Check settings.local.json too: warn if the plugin is enabled there independently (deactivation in settings.json won't override that).

Output style

One-line confirmation. Restart reminder.
