/shader-remove — Remove a Shader

Remove a shader by display name, disk name, or filename.

Invocation

• /shader-remove Matrix Rain
• /shader-remove matrix_rain
• /shader-remove matrix_rain.json

Steps

1. Resolve the Shader

The argument can be:

• Display name (e.g., Matrix Rain) — scan src/shaders/**/*.json (including mouse/ and selection/ subdirs), match on the "name" field (case-insensitive)
• Disk name (e.g., matrix_rain) — look for src/shaders/matrix_rain.json, src/shaders/mouse/matrix_rain.json, or src/shaders/selection/matrix_rain.json
• Filename (e.g., matrix_rain.json or matrix_rain.hlsl) — strip extension, use as disk name

If no match found, list available shaders and stop.

2. Read Metadata

Read the matched .json file to discover iChannel texture files referenced in "iChannels" and the shader's directory.

3. Delete Source Files

Remove all files belonging to the shader from its directory (src/shaders/, src/shaders/mouse/, or src/shaders/selection/):

• {name}.glsl
• {name}.hlsl
• {name}.json
• Any iChannel textures listed in the metadata (e.g., {name}_i0.png)

Only delete files that exist — don't error on missing .glsl (some shaders may not have the original).

4. Regenerate Bundles

powershell -File tools/shader_bundle.ps1

This regenerates src/gui/shader_bundle.ahk and src/gui/shader_resources.ahk, and cleans stale textures from resources/img/shaders/.

5. Run Tests

.\tests\test.ps1

6. Report

Summarize what was removed (list each deleted file).
