unlink

Use unlink to opt a repository OUT of Shepherd coordination by removing its .shepherd marker file. Like link and decline, unlink is never gated behind an existing coordination session — it always runs, regardless of whether the repo is currently linked.

Input

unlink takes no agent-supplied fields.

{}

Result

Shepherd returns a one-line advisory, e.g. Unlinked — this repo will stay uncoordinated and won't ask again. Run \link` to re-enable.`

Behavior notes

• Removes the committed .shepherd marker.
• Also records a local decline automatically, so the agent isn't immediately re-prompted to link again on the next session or tool call — without this, an unlinked repo would read as "unanswered" and nag right away. Running link again clears the decline.
• If a coordination session was active, it's torn down immediately: the hub is told the agent left, so its presence and claims drop right away rather than lingering until the session goes stale (~2 minutes without a heartbeat).
• The repo stays uncoordinated until link is run again.
