Quarterly portfolio review with forced verdicts (DOUBLE-DOWN / MAINTAIN / MINIMAL / KILL) for every product.

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

# /kill-or-keep

Usage: `/kill-or-keep` (run quarterly, end of quarter)

## What this does
Invokes `agents/portfolio/kill-or-double-down/`. Produces a full portfolio review document at `brain/decision-log/portfolio-review-YYYY-QN.md`.

## What you do as the assistant
1. Confirm with user: "this is a quarterly review and will force verdicts. Proceed?"
2. Read all products' `product.config.json`, `metrics.md`, last 90 days of `decisions/`.
3. Pull current metrics via telemetry-aggregator.
4. Ask user: "estimated hours per week on each product over last quarter" — fill in.
5. Generate the review per the agent's output spec.
6. For each KILL verdict, generate the sunset plan in full.
7. Save to file. Print summary in chat.
8. Update each killed product's `product.config.json` → `status: "sunset_planned"` + `sunset_date: <T+60>`.
9. Add an entry to `MEMORY.md` if portfolio-level patterns emerged.

## Warning
This skill produces uncomfortable decisions. Don't soften the verdicts. The whole point is the forcing function.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add hamza-ali-shahjahan/hamzaish/kill-or-keep@sha256:82e422164d668499

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.a4e7dfe, 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.
