Remove Kokoro TTS

Clean uninstall of the Kokoro TTS engine. Preserves model cache by default.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

What Gets Removed

• Python venv at ~/.local/share/kokoro/.venv
• Scripts: tts_generate.py, kokoro_common.py
• Metadata: version.json
• Directory ~/.local/share/kokoro/ (if empty after cleanup)

What Gets Preserved

• Model cache at ~/.cache/huggingface/hub/models--mlx-community--Kokoro-82M-bf16/
• Launchd plist (if server was configured)

Workflow

Step 1: Confirm with user

Use AskUserQuestion to confirm removal. Mention what will be removed and what will be preserved.

Step 2: Stop server (if running)

# Stop launchd service if exists
launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.terryli.kokoro-tts-server.plist 2>/dev/null || true

Step 3: Uninstall

PLUGIN_DIR="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/plugins/kokoro-tts}"
bash "$PLUGIN_DIR/scripts/kokoro-install.sh" --uninstall

Step 4: (Optional) Remove model cache

Only if user explicitly requests full cleanup:

rm -rf ~/.cache/huggingface/hub/models--mlx-community--Kokoro-82M-bf16

Step 5: (Optional) Remove launchd plist

rm -f ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.terryli.kokoro-tts-server.plist

Post-Removal

To reinstall later: /kokoro-tts:install
