This skill follows docs/ai-sdlc/03-update-pipeline.md, docs/ai-sdlc/07-issue-contracts.md, and docs/ai-sdlc/09-owner-e2e-runbook.md.

report-template.md
Inputs
app name or app list (required)
archive reason (required)
Steps
Confirm the archive reason and whether the batch shares the same decision.
Move each target app from apps/ to archive/apps/.
Update metadata/maintenance.yaml if needed.
Update metadata/archive.yaml.
Set Contentful retirement flags: for each archived app, preview .venv/bin/libs catalog-update --app <app> --fields '{"appStore": false, "production": false}' and include the exact owner --apply command in the report.
Produce a short archive report.
Output
archived apps
archive reason
metadata changes
Contentful handoff status, including the exact owner --apply command
Rules
Default to one app per issue.
Small batch archive is allowed only when reason and handling are identical.
Do not delete app history.
To bring an archived app back, use the restore-app skill, not this one.
Contentful updates use the contentful_management Python SDK (installed by make install). AI previews catalog-update; only the owner runs it with --apply.
Contentful retirement flags for archive are appStore and production, both set to false.
