# _trash/

The archive. Files that are done, replaced, or consumed. Never delete anything. Move it here.

## What Goes Here

- Superseded plans (replaced by a newer version)
- Consumed release notes (already used by `wip-release`)
- Abandoned drafts
- Anything you're done with but might need to reference later

## Rules

- **This is not garbage.** It's the archive. Everything in git history is recoverable, but `_trash/` keeps things findable without digging through commits.
- **Subfolders have their own `_trash/`.** Use the nearest one. `dev-updates/_trash/` for old dev updates, `product/notes/_trash/` for old notes, etc.
- **Never delete files from the repo.** Move them to `_trash/` instead.
