Write a right-sized EOL announcement — brief notice through full phased comms — with rationale, customer impact, and next steps. Use when retiring a product, feature, or plan.
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 Message ## Purpose Craft a clear, empathetic End-of-Life (EOL) message that communicates discontinuation, explains the rationale, addresses customer impact, provides transition support, and positions what comes next. Use this to maintain customer trust during a difficult transition and reduce the churn that comes from customers feeling abandoned. This is not a generic sunset announcement — it's a customer-centric communication that acknowledges loss while framing the change as progress. And it is **sized to the change**: a deprecated toggle gets a paragraph, a flagship retirement gets phased communications across months. ## Input **Works best with:** What's being retired (product, feature, or plan) and roughly when. **Also useful:** The rationale, affected customer segments, migration or replacement path, support commitments, and any contract or regulatory language that constrains what you can say. 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-message@sha256:779c5b27efd58a71The 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.
