What Pause Skill Bus does

Pause Skill Bus temporarily disables the skill bus so subscriptions stop firing without being removed. It can pause at global or project scope and is re-enabled with /skill-bus:unpause-subs.

Pause Skill Bus is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Pause Skill Bus comes from a repository tagged anthropic, claude-ai, claude-code, claude-code-plugin and claude-code-plugin-marketplace.

README

From the original repository

Pause Skill Bus

Announce: "Pausing skill-bus."

Process

Step 1: Determine Scope

Ask using AskUserQuestion: "Pause at which level?"

Global - Pauses skill-bus everywhere. Sets enabled: false in ~/.claude/skill-bus.json
Project - Pauses skill-bus for this project only. Sets enabled: false in .claude/skill-bus.json

Step 2: Update Config

Read the appropriate config file. Set settings.enabled to false. If the file doesn't exist, create the directory first (mkdir -p .claude for project scope) then create the file with just:

{
  "settings": {
    "enabled": false
  }
}

Step 3: Confirm

Show: "Skill bus paused at [scope] level. Run /skill-bus:unpause-subs to re-enable."
