CustomerNewsletter: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/deprecation-consolidation/SKILL.md

deprecation-consolidation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from briancl2/CustomerNewsletter. It costs 107 tokens per session (769 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A newsletter cleanup step that collects deprecations, sunsets, revocations, and migration notices into one update under Enterprise and Security Updates. A deprecation is a warning that something will be replaced or stopped.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while assembling or polishing a newsletter to consolidate notices and run newsletter validation afterward.
Why use it?
It prevents the same migration information from appearing in several places and removes a separate Migration Notices section.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

deprecation-consolidation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/find_deprecations.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deprecation Consolidation

Ensure deprecations and migration notices are not duplicated across the newsletter and are presented once in the right place.

Quick Start

  1. Read the assembled newsletter file at output/YYYY-MM_month_newsletter.md.
  2. Find all deprecation/migration/sunset content anywhere in the document.
  3. Move it into a single bundled bullet under Enterprise and Security Updates.
  4. Delete any standalone # Migration Notices section.
  5. Re-run validation: bash .github/skills/newsletter-validation/scripts/validate_newsletter.sh output/YYYY-MM_month_newsletter.md.

Core Rules (Hard Requirements)

Rule 1: Single bundled update

All of these belong in one bullet (one paragraph) under Enterprise and Security Updates:

  • Deprecations (models/features/SDKs)
  • Sunsets / API shutdowns
  • Token revocations
  • Minimum version enforcement
  • Syntax changes that can break workflows (e.g., comment commands)

Use a title like:

  • **Deprecations and Migration Notices** -- ...

Rule 2: No bottom-of-newsletter migration section

Do not end the newsletter with a standalone section like:

  • # Migration Notices

If it exists, it must be removed and its content merged into the Enterprise & Security bullet.

Rule 3: Remove duplicate mentions elsewhere

If deprecation content appears in other bullets (common places: model availability bullets, metrics bullets), do one of:

  • Remove the deprecation sentence/link entirely, OR
  • Replace it with a short pointer: "See Deprecations and Migration Notices in Enterprise and Security Updates."

Prefer removal over pointers unless the section would otherwise become misleading.

Editing Workflow

  1. Inventory: Identify every deprecation/migration statement and every link that implies deprecation (e.g., upcoming-deprecation, closing-down-notice, revoked, minimum-version-enforcement).
  2. Choose canonical placement: Under Enterprise and Security Updates, immediately after the most related bullet (often metrics/governance).
  3. Bundle: Write one bullet that lists the items as bolded phrases in a single sentence/paragraph.
  4. Linking: Include the authoritative links (usually changelog entries) as pipe-separated links at the end.
  5. Delete old section: Remove # Migration Notices heading and its bullet(s).
  6. Re-scan for dupes: Ensure the same deprecation link doesn’t appear in multiple sections.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
