Plan the retirement of a product feature — the kill decision made honest, user migration, data handling, comms sequencing, and the code actually deleted. Use when deprecating or sunsetting a feature, killing an underused capability, retiring an AI feature that didn't land, or when a 'deprecated' feature has haunted the codebase for two years. Produces a sunset plan: the decision record, affected-user analysis, migration paths, a staged timeline with comms per stage, and the removal checklist. For API deprecation specifically use api-versioning-strategy.

# Feature Sunset Plan Skill

Products are good at shipping and terrible at unshipping: features limp on for years because nobody owns the removal, and when a kill finally happens it's announced badly, migrates nobody, and leaves the code behind anyway. A sunset is a *product launch in reverse* — it deserves the same rigour. This skill plans the whole arc, decision to deletion.

## What This Skill Produces

- A **decision record**: why this feature dies, the evidence, and what was considered instead
- An **affected-user analysis** — who actually uses it, how deeply, and who screams
- **Migration paths** per user segment, with the no-path-exists cases faced honestly
- A **staged timeline** with comms per stage, and the **removal checklist** that ends in deleted code
