No. Deleting a skill removes it from disk right away with no undo, and built-in Cursor skills or plugin-cache copies can simply reappear the next time that tool updates.Does any of my skill data leave my machine?No. The server only binds to localhost, so everything it reads from your skill folders stays on your machine.

Delete removes the skill from disk for good, with no undo.
Quarantine moves a skill out of every drawer an agent reads into ~/.skill-cabinet/quarantine without destroying it, and you can restore it later. Delete removes the skill from disk for good, with no undo.Which skill folders does it actually scan?It scans user-level drawers such as .agents, .claude, .codex, .cursor (including its plugins), Hermes profiles, and other ~/.*/skills folders on your machine.
