Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
This skill assists AI agents in managing API lifecycle events by analyzing version histories and generating structured deprecation plans. It helps ensure backward compatibility while outlining clear migration paths for dependent services.
When to use it
- Legacy System Updates: Planning the sunset of an old REST endpoint before releasing a breaking change.
- Contract Negotiations: Defining support timelines and communication strategies for external partners relying on specific API versions.
- Automated Reporting: Creating standardized documentation for internal teams regarding upcoming version changes.
- Risk Assessment: Identifying potential service disruptions caused by missing migration guides or deprecated features.
Key capabilities
- Analyzes current API versioning strategies and usage patterns.
- Generates comprehensive deprecation timelines with specific milestones.
- Drafts migration guides detailing steps to update client code.
- Highlights risks associated with abrupt version discontinuation.
Example prompts
- "Create a 6-month deprecation plan for our v1.0 payment API, including communication schedules and fallback options."
- "Analyze the current usage of the legacy user-auth endpoint and propose a phased migration strategy to v2.0."
- "Draft a technical notice for developers explaining why we are retiring the XML response format in favor of JSON."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure you provide the AI with specific constraints regarding support windows and compliance requirements, as these heavily influence the generated plan's feasibility. This tool is best used early in the development cycle to avoid last-minute scrambling during major releases.
