# intent exclude

`intent exclude` manages `package.json#intent.exclude` entries.

<!-- ::start:tabs variant="package-manager" mode="local-install" -->

@tanstack/intent@latest exclude [list|add|remove] [pattern] [--json]

<!-- ::end:tabs -->

## Options

- `--json`: print the configured exclude patterns as JSON

## Actions

1. `list` (default): print current excludes
2. `add <pattern>`: append one exclude pattern
3. `remove <pattern>`: remove one exclude pattern

## Examples

<!-- ::start:tabs variant="package-manager" mode="local-install" -->

```text
@tanstack/intent@latest exclude
@tanstack/intent@latest exclude list --json
@tanstack/intent@latest exclude add @tanstack/router#experimental-*
@tanstack/intent@latest exclude remove @tanstack/router#experimental-*
```

<!-- ::end:tabs -->

## Behavior

- Reads and writes the current working directory `package.json`
- Creates `intent.exclude` when missing
- Keeps existing excludes and appends new patterns in order
- Validates pattern syntax before writing
- Refuses invalid `package.json` structures for `intent` and `intent.exclude`
