Skill Prune

Inverse of /skill-update. Removes content rather than adding it. Run during quarterly maintenance, after engagements, or when scripts/skill_linter.py reports orphans / duplicates.

When to invoke

  • Quarterly cadence.
  • After scripts/skill_linter.py --check-orphans reports orphan reference files.
  • After a SKILL.md or reference file grows past its cap and needs trimming.
  • After a de-specialization sweep, to drop content tied to retired challenges.

Prune criteria (the four signals — same shape as /skill-update, inverted)

A reference / scenario / line is a prune candidate when it satisfies any of:

  1. Orphan — not linked from any SKILL.md or other reference file in the last 60 days.
