Arsenal Skill Review — Deprecation Wave 1 & Optimization State

Evidence: 1,045 session transcripts mined (Skill-tool + slash-command channels, single machine, ~2 months) + 9-spoke scorecards. Mark skills you no longer use in the review table below, then export the list for wave 2.

Archived in Wave 1

Moved to skills/archived/ via PR #81 (merged 4ef850f5, two review rounds — round 2 purged the ops.json bundle refs after a live re-materialization on hermes proved bundles re-install archived skills). Fully reversible by git.

Optimization state

The nine hot skills carry the fleet — they get the first `/skill-audit` rewrite pass. Counts = combined Skill-tool + slash-command invocations.

Hot skillInvocationsVolumeBreadth

Copy-not-symlink drift

Dominant defect class: heph 12/13, metis 23/29, pops 16 repo-local copies of arsenal skills. Every copy is a future stale fork.

→ #76 bulk symlink conversion

AGENTS.md consolidation

7 repos migrated + merged same-day; apollo already canonical; heph + hades deferred with trackers (hook retirement / security ruleset).

→ standard: docs/governance/agents-md-consolidation-standard.md

Bundle purge rule (new)

Archiving a skill without purging distribution bundles re-installs it on next sync (hermes incident).

→ TIERS + archive + bundle purge + sweep = one atomic PR

Credential-surface rewrites

apollo deploy-world + hades vault-audit both embed security -w token reads (rule #04).

→ hades triaging

Missing worked examples

Most common touch-up across all scorecards (hades 12/18, proteus 8/11, apollo 30).

→ /skill-audit checklist item 4

Watch-list mechanism

43 never-invoked skills exempt from deletion (thin single-machine data). 30-day usage watch.
