Remove or delete a code artifact, endpoint, dependency, feature, or dead code; update dependents, tests, and docs. Use this skill when you already know what to remove and want it scoped, specified, and broken into reviewable tasks in a single pass, with no requirements interview. You approve the resulting plan before anything is built: this skill plans and stops, so run `/aid-execute` to carry the plan out.

# Shortcut: remove
<!-- GENERATED by generate-profile/scripts/build-shortcut-skills.py from .aid/runtime/templates/shortcut-catalog.yml -- DO NOT EDIT BY HAND; edit the catalog row and re-run the helper, then the full run_generator.py. -->
Bind **VERB=`remove`**, **ARTIFACT="" (bare verb)**, then run the shared engine at `.aid/runtime/templates/shortcut-engine.md`. The engine scaffolds the flattened Lite work (feature-001 structure) and authors exactly two documents: `REQUIREMENTS.md`, whose `§ 11` feature section carries the technical specification and whose `§ 9` carries the gate criteria, and the task `DETAIL.md` files -- with reduced capture. One feature and one delivery means there is nothing to sequence, so no plan is written and the execution graph is derived from each task's `**Depends on:**` field. It runs the per-document Grading Gates (feature-004) and halts at the FR-10 approval gate. It never executes. This shortcut's `default_type`/`group` are its row in `.aid/runtime/templates/shortcut-catalog.yml`.
