scope-retirelisted

Archive a completed or abandoned agent-notepad while keeping its journal history intact. Marks the notepad retired (SCOPE.md status + a final journal milestone), stops it from auto-loading and syncing on future sessions, and preserves the append-only sessions/ history and handoffs for later recall — it never deletes the journal, the memory index entries, or the remote. Reversible: a later scope-init re-activates it. Use when an objective is done, a scope is being wound down, or a notepad should be shelved. Triggers on "scope-retire", "retire this scope", "archive the notepad", "close out this objective", "wind down the scope".

# scope-retire — archive a notepad, keep the history Retiring a notepad means "stop treating this as an active objective" — **not** "delete it". The journal (`sessions/*.jsonl`), the handoffs, the memory-index (`wing=<prefix>`) entries, and the git remote all stay. Retirement is a reversible status change plus a clean final snapshot. See [DESIGN.md](../agent-notepad/DESIGN.md) (§6 file contracts, §16 acceptance). **Never destructive.** This skill does not `rm` journals, does not empty the memory index, does not delete the GitHub repo, and does not force-push over history. If the operator wants hard deletion, that is a separate manual action they perform themselves — surface it, don't do it. --- ## Procedure ### 1. Confirm the notepad and its state - Resolve the notepad directory (cwd or the operator-named scope). Confirm it *is* a notepad (has SCOPE.md + repos.manifest.json + sessions/). - Read SCOPE.md done-criteria and report which are met vs open, so the operator retires with eyes open. Retiring with open criteria is allowed (abandonment) — just say so. ### 2. Write a final snapshot into NOTES.md Do one last rewrite of `NOTES.md` (§6.1): set Current goal to a one-line outcome ("Retired <date>: <done | abandoned because …>"), Next action to "none — scope retired", and leave the Key refs / Blockers as the honest final state. This is the summary a future reader lands on first; keep it terse and un-redacted of caveats. ### 3. Append a retirement milestone to the j
