Run a go/no-go assessment for retiring a product or feature, then right-size the effort. Use when someone says "we should probably kill this" and nobody has made the call.

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 Readiness Advisor

## Purpose

Decide whether a product or feature should actually be retired — and if so, how much machinery the
retirement deserves. This skill produces a go/no-go verdict with named evidence, an **intensity
level** you choose, and a short list of the obligations that will bite you if ignored.

Most EOL guidance assumes the decision is already made and jumps to the plan. This skill sits
earlier: it is the conversation where "we should probably kill this" becomes a decision someone
will defend in a room.

It is equally willing to tell you **not** to retire. A "hold" or "harvest" verdict is a real
outcome here, not a consolation prize.

## Input

**Works best with:** The product or feature under consideration and what triggered the conversation
(a declining number, a strategy shift, a support-cost complaint, an exec offhand remark).

**Also useful:** Revenue and customer counts, whether a replacement exists, contract or regulatory
commitments, and any political sensitivities you already know about.

Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add deanpeters/product-manager-skills/eol-readiness-advisor@sha256:19a67134dd054649

The 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.
