Deprecation is critical for maintaining a clean skill library: this process retires obsolete skills by archiving them instead of deletion, preserving history and enabling recovery if needed.
Document the deprecation case, obtain user confirmation, update all callers, archive the skill under .agents/skills/.deprecated/, and record the incident in the deprecation log.

To deprecate a skill without data loss, archive it in a .deprecated directory instead of deleting it. This preserves provenance and enables recovery while updating all caller references and logging the event for auditing.
The best way to archive obsolete skills is to move them to .agents/skills/.deprecated/, create a DEPRECATION.md log, and update AGENTS.md and READMEs. This ensures all callers reflect the deprecation and an audit trail is maintained.
Use a deprecation workflow when skills are redundant, superseded, or pose risk and callers must be updated. Archiving rather than deleting preserves history, satisfies audit-trail requirements, and provides a recovery path if needed.
Skill governance requires user confirmation before archiving to document the rationale safely. This enforcement ensures the deprecation process is intentional and prevents accidental loss of redundant or superseded skills.
To document a deprecation event for auditing, create a DEPRECATION.md file in the archived directory and record the incident in the deprecation log. This satisfies audit-trail requirements while preserving the skill's history.
You can recover an archived deprecated skill because the process preserves history by moving it to .deprecated rather than deleting it. A defined recovery path allows rollback if the deprecation was premature or the skill is needed again.
