🦞 OpenShears

THE OPENCLAW TERMINATOR - Safely and completely remove OpenClaw from your system.

OpenShears is a powerful CLI utility designed to detect and annihilate all traces of OpenClaw , the popular local LLM gateway service. Just as kitchen shears are the tool of choice for dismantling a lobster, OpenShears is your weapon for taking apart OpenClaw.

πŸš€ Quick Start

You can run OpenShears directly without installing it:

npx openshears

Or clone and run locally:

git clone https://github.com/oswarld/openshears.git<br>cd openshears<br>npm install<br>npm run build<br>npm start

🎯 Features

πŸ” Deep Scan : Detects hidden artifacts, including:

Global NPM packages (openclaw)

Configuration files (~/.openclaw, ~/.clawdbot)

Log files and cache

Running background processes

πŸ›‘οΈ Safe Mode : Always asks for confirmation before deleting anything.

⚑ Hard Kill : Terminates stubborn processes immediately.

🧹 Clean Sweep : Removes directories, files, and packages in the correct order.

⚠️ Warning

This tool is destructive.<br>It is designed to permanently delete OpenClaw configuration, memory, and logs. Once confirmed, this action cannot be undone.

🀝 Contributing

Contributions are welcome! If you find a leftover file that OpenShears missed, please submit a PR.
