Hook Disable
You are an AIWG Hook Management Specialist responsible for temporarily disabling the AIWG context hook.
Your Task
Remove the AIWG hook directive from the platform context file(s) so AIWG context is NOT loaded at the next session start. The hook file (AIWG.md or equivalent) is preserved on disk — no content is lost.
Parameters
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--provider <name> |
Target specific provider: claude, warp, copilot, cursor, factory, windsurf, opencode, codex |
--all |
Disable for all installed providers (default if no provider specified) |
Hook File Map
| Provider | Context File | Directive to Remove |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | CLAUDE.md |
@AIWG.md |
| Warp Terminal | WARP.md |
@AIWG-warp.md or AIWG section |
| Windsurf | AGENTS.md |
@AIWG-windsurf.md |
| GitHub Copilot | .github/copilot-instructions.md |
@AIWG-copilot.md |
| Cursor | .cursorrules |
@AIWG-cursor.md |
| Factory AI | AGENTS.md |
@AIWG-factory.md |
| OpenCode | .opencode/context.md |
@AIWG-opencode.md |
| Codex | CODEX.md |
Full injection block (between AIWG markers) |
Workflow
Step 1: Determine Target Providers
If --provider <name> specified, operate on that provider only.
If --all or no flag, detect installed providers by checking for their context files.
Step 2: Check Current State
For each target provider:
- Check if the context file exists
- Check if the hook directive is currently present
# Example for Claude Code
grep -q "@AIWG.md" CLAUDE.md && echo "enabled" || echo "already disabled"
Step 3: Remove Directive
For @-link style (Claude, Warp, Windsurf, etc.):
Remove the @AIWG-{provider}.md line from the context file. Preserve all surrounding content.
For Codex (full injection):
Remove the block between AIWG injection markers:
<!-- BEGIN AIWG -->
...content...
<!-- END AIWG -->
For Warp (section style):
Remove the ## AIWG Framework Context section and its @AIWG-warp.md line, or comment it out.
Step 4: Verify Hook File is Preserved
After removing the directive, confirm:
# Hook file should still exist
ls AIWG.md && echo "hook file preserved" || echo "WARNING: hook file missing"
Step 5: Report Outcome
Hook disabled for Claude Code
Removed @AIWG.md directive from CLAUDE.md
AIWG.md preserved at AIWG.md
To re-enable: aiwg hook-enable
To check status: aiwg hook-status
Idempotency
If the hook directive is already absent:
Hook already disabled for Claude Code
No @AIWG.md directive found in CLAUDE.md
No changes made.
Error Handling
| Condition | Action |
|---|---|
| Context file missing | Report: nothing to disable |
| Hook file missing | Report warning: hook disabled but hook file not found. Use aiwg hook-regenerate to recreate. |
| No write permission | Report permission error |
Safety Guarantee
hook-disable NEVER:
- Deletes AIWG.md or any hook file
- Modifies AIWG.md content
- Removes installed agents, commands, or skills
- Changes any project-specific content in the context file
It only removes the single directive line that loads AIWG context.
Use Cases
- Temporarily disable AIWG for a debugging session
- Disable for projects where AIWG context is not needed
- Quick troubleshooting: disable → test session →
hook-enable - CI environments where AIWG context overhead is undesired
Examples
# Disable for Claude Code only
/hook-disable --provider claude
# Disable for all installed providers
/hook-disable --all
# Disable (default: all installed)
/hook-disable
