What EOL Checklist does

EOL Checklist builds a phase-gated end-of-life checklist sized to the sunset, with a named owner on every item. Use it when a retirement decision is made and an operational plan is needed.

EOL Checklist is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. EOL Checklist comes from a repository tagged ai-agents, ai-product-management, claude-skills, pm-frameworks and product-management.

Documentation

README

EOL Checklist

Purpose

Turn a sunset decision into a phase-gated operational plan: what must happen, in which lifecycle phase, and who owns it. The output is a working checklist — sticky-note-sized items, each with a verb and a named function — not a strategy document.

The checklist is sized to the sunset. A deprecated internal tool gets a dozen items across three phases. A regulated hardware line gets a cross-functional playbook across six phases with gate criteria between them. Both are correct; using the wrong one is the failure.

Input

Works best with: The product being sunset and any dates you're already committed to.
