Summary
The rtk init -g --uninstall command does not work on Windows. The uninstall process likely assumes a Unix-style environment (bash, Unix paths) and fails silently or errors out.
Environment
- OS: Windows (reported with Cygwin)
- RTK version: latest
Expected behavior
Should cleanly remove:
%USERPROFILE%\.claude\hooks\rtk-rewrite.sh (or equivalent)%USERPROFILE%\.claude\RTK.md@RTK.md reference from %USERPROFILE%\.claude\CLAUDE.md- RTK hook entry from
%USERPROFILE%\.claude\settings.json
Actual behavior
Uninstall does not complete successfully on Windows.
Additional context
Related to the broader Windows support gap: the hook system (rtk-rewrite.sh) is a bash script and is already flagged as unsupported on Windows during rtk init -g. The uninstall path likely has the same assumptions about the shell environment.
