Validates and records a component's deprecation (status, replacement, and removal target) and keeps deprecated components validating until removal. Use when deprecating a component, recording its replacement, or checking the deprecation contract.

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

# askit-deprecate

## Purpose
Manage a component's end-of-life cleanly. Two modes: `deprecate` marks a component `status: deprecated` and records its replacement (`deprecated-by`) and the version it will be removed in (`remove-in`), per Standard sec 3.7 / 7.5; `check` runs the G6 `deprecation` check (the contract is complete) and confirms a deprecated component still validates until its `remove-in` version, so consumers get a migration window rather than a sudden break. Policy and the lifecycle are in [references/deprecation-policy.md](references/deprecation-policy.md).

## When to use
When deprecating a component, recording its replacement, or checking that deprecated components still validate before their removal version.

## deprecate mode
1. Set the component's `status` to `deprecated` in `library.json` (and the component frontmatter `metadata.status`).
2. Record `deprecated-by` (the replacement component) and `remove-in` (the target plugin version for removal).
3. Point users at the replacement in the component's description or body; do not delete it yet.

## check mode

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add product-on-purpose/agent-skills-toolkit/askit-deprecate@sha256:c7c2587db79bc431

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
