Run a product sunset end to end — decide, align, plan, prepare, announce, close. Use when you need the whole EOL process, not just one artifact.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# EOL Process ## Purpose Run a product retirement end to end: decide whether to do it, align the people who can stop it, build the operational plan, ready the teams who will face customers, announce it, and close it out properly. Six phases with decision points between them. The governing goal, and the sentence worth keeping in your head the whole way through: **lose the product without losing the customer.** Most of what follows exists to protect the second half of that sentence. This is an orchestration skill. It doesn't replace the artifact skills — it tells you which one to reach for, when, and what has to be true before you move on. ## Input **Works best with:** The product being retired and where you currently are — considering it, decided, mid-plan, or already announced and struggling. **Also useful:** Scale (customers, revenue, contracts), whether a replacement exists, and who already knows. Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended `ARGUMENTS:` line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask. …

How to install
mdr add deanpeters/product-manager-skills/eol-process@sha256:84bc4942d7b2c594The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.d025768, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
