Error message

Cancelled

What it means

Logged by `ctx7 skills remove <name>` when promptForSingleTarget() returned null — the user cancelled the interactive prompt asking which IDE/scope to remove the skill from. Graceful warn + return; no files are deleted and the skill remains installed.

Solutions

1. Re-run the command and pick a target at the prompt
2. Skip the prompt with explicit flags: `ctx7 skills remove <name> --claude` (or --cursor / --universal / --antigravity) and `--global` if it was installed globally
3. In automation, always pass IDE + scope flags so promptForSingleTarget short-circuits without a TTY

Example fix

# before
$ ctx7 skills remove my-skill   # cancel at target prompt -> Cancelled

# after
$ ctx7 skills remove my-skill --universal --global

// Script a removal without any interactive prompt
import { execFile } from "node:child_process";
execFile("ctx7", ["skills", "remove", "my-skill", "--universal", "--global"], (err, stdout) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  if (stdout.includes("Cancelled")) throw new Error("Removal aborted: missing explicit target flags");
});

When it happens

Trigger: Run `ctx7 skills remove my-skill` without IDE flags and press Ctrl+C/ESC at the 'Remove from where?' prompt, or answer negatively to its confirm; also when prompts fail in a non-TTY environment.

Common situations: Hesitating at the removal confirmation because the wrong IDE was highlighted; running remove inside a script/CI where the prompt cannot render; terminal interrupt habit.
