Plan the communications for deprecating a product, API, endpoint, or feature that customers depend on. Use when winding down or sunsetting something, planning a breaking change, or migrating customers off a legacy path. Produces a staged timeline with grace periods, tiered customer messaging, a migration-guide outline, the channel plan, and an internal escalation playbook for the highest-risk accounts. This is the customer-communications program — distinct from [[feature-sunset-plan]] (the kill decision, data handling, and code removal) and [[api-versioning-strategy]] (the technical versioning mechanics).

From the source SKILL.md

Deprecations go wrong in two ways: too fast (customers get broken and churn angry) or too quiet (they find out when it breaks). This skill plans the wind-down as a communications program, not an announcement — enough runway, messaging matched to how much each customer depends on the thing, a real migration path, and a plan for the accounts that will need a human.
