delete-content

Safe deletion checks cross-references to identify broken links before removal. The Skill scans your knowledge base for all files linking to the target, warns you of dependencies, and offers to update or fix those links automatically, preserving integrity while you delete content.

Policy-aware deletion enforces rules from your RULE.md file before proceeding. The Skill checks deletion permissions, archival requirements, and immutability policies, ensuring compliance with governance before any content is removed or archived.

Deletion modes offer three options: permanent removal, safe archival to preserve content per policy, or backup-then-delete to maintain recovery options. Your RULE.md policies determine which mode applies, balancing cleanup needs with information preservation.

Safe archival moves content to a designated archive directory instead of permanent deletion, preserving information and maintaining an audit trail. This approach lets you reclaim space while keeping deleted files recoverable and compliant with retention policies.

Content discovery supports both methods: target files by exact path or locate them by topic and title. The Skill identifies the target using your preferred method, then enforces governance checks before proceeding with deletion.
