Mycroft blacklisted skills not working
From ETCwiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
To blacklist skills, you have to edit your mycroft.conf file. I had trouble removing some of the default skills in Mycroft and it was simply finding the right names to add to the blacklisted skills section.
Find skill name to blacklist
Find the exact skill name using mycroft-cli-client. Use the Mycroft command:
: skills
Blacklist a default Mycroft skill
Backup your mycroft.conf! Put this in your skills section of the conf. Edit to your needs, this blocks everything. NOTE that final comma after the array.
