Improve Deck

Category: Product  ·  Sub-category: agile  ·  Last updated:

Deck hygiene pass — retag stale cards, prune 90-day unverified parks, surface defunct file:line references, surface orphaned dependencies (epics with no children, meta-fix families not wired, log.md migration TODOs), surface engineer-jargon titles for retitling, propose new canonical tags. AUTO-INVOKE when user says "tidy up the deck", "check for stale cards", "hygiene pass", "clean up the queue", "archive old", "audit the deck", or invokes /improve-deck. The board itself gets refactored each iteration (XP refactor mercilessly + Kanban continuous improvement).

From the source SKILL.md

XP's "refactor mercilessly" (Beck, 1999) applied to the work surface, paired with Kanban's continuous improvement (Anderson): every iteration the BOARD gets better, not just the code on it. A deck read by humans and swarms of agents accumulates rot the moment filing slows down — stale parks, defunct cites, missing summaries, tags whose predicate no longer fires. The same first-principles edge that catches code drift catches deck drift; this skill is the recurring tax that keeps the read-pattern guarantee alive.
