Remove a skill

<!-- ::start:tabs variant="package-manager" mode="local-install" -->

@tanstack/intent@latest maintainer remove retries

<!-- ::end:tabs -->

Removal retires the skill: its tree entry gets status: retired and skill_spec.md gains a note to record why the guidance is no longer needed. The command never deletes SKILL.md. It prints the path so you can delete the file once its guidance is no longer needed, then run maintainer sync and maintainer review.

The command refuses while the skill is selected for repository distribution or required by another active skill, and names what to change first. Reselect the remaining skills with maintainer setup --distribution repo --skill <name>, or update the dependent skill's prerequisites, then retry.

A skill name is unique within its owning package, so two workspace packages can register the same name. A prerequisite name refers to a skill in the same package. When more than one package registers the name, the command lists those packages; pass --package <directory> to select the skill to retire. A name that more than one package registers cannot be selected for repository distribution.
