-
-### manage_duplicate_dismissal
-
-Dismiss or un-dismiss a duplicate candidate pair so it does not resurface in review_affinity contacts.duplicates.

-| options.now | oneOf | no | Optional timestamp. Accepts epoch milliseconds integer, ISO 8601 date-time with Z/offset, YYYY-MM-DD, today, tomorrow, yesterday, +3d or -2d. UTC midnight for dates; dueAt uses UTC end of day. |
-| options.force | boolean | no | Whether duplicate checks should be bypassed. |

-
-### manage_attribute
-
-Set, unset, or replace custom metadata attributes on contacts and links. For emails, phones, handles, and URLs use manage_identity instead — those are routing keys, not attributes.
-
-Use when: Use this for metadata such as tags, notes, or small labeled facts attached to a contact or link.
-
-Not for: Do not use this for core contact fields, identities, or direct relationship mechanics.
-
-Writes: writes_state.
-
-| Parameter | Type | Required | Values / description |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| action | string | yes | set, unset, replace. Operation to perform. |
-| target | object | no | Attribute target. Always required. |
-| name | string | no | Attribute name. Required when action=set or unset. |
-| value | any | no | Attribute value. Required when action=set. Null for presence/tag semantics. |
-| entries | array | no | Key-value map to replace all attributes. Required when action=replace. |
-| removedAt | integer / string | no | Removal timestamp. Optional for action=unset. Accepts epoch milliseconds integer, ISO 8601 date-time with Z/offset, YYYY-MM-DD, today, tomorrow, yesterday, +3d or -2d. UTC midnight for dates; dueAt uses UTC end of day. |
-| target.kind | string | yes | Target kind. |
-| target.contact | object | no | Contact locator. Required when kind=contact. Provide contactId or identity. |
-| target.link | object | no | Link locator. Required when kind=link. Provide linkId or endpoints. |
-| entries.name | string | yes | Attribute name. |
-| entries.value | oneOf | no | Attribute value, or null for presence/tag semantics. |
-
-```sh
-ghostpaw-affinity attribute set --target '{"kind":"contact","contact":{"contactId":2}}' --name pipeline_stage --value '"proposal"'

 ### Workflow guides
 
-- [bootstrap-and-cold-start](skills/affinity/references/bootstrap-and-cold-start.md): Establish a clean Affinity baseline with one owner, one verified identity, and the minimum structure needed for later evidence and review work.
-- [identify-and-locate-contacts](skills/affinity/references/identify-and-locate-contacts.md): Find the right contact reliably, prefer stable natural keys when possible, and avoid creating duplicates through weak lookup discipline.
-- [import-history-without-faking-evidence](skills/affinity/references/import-history-without-faking-evidence.md): Import pre-existing relationship state honestly, using seeded links for known history instead of inventing fake journal evidence.
-- [model-structure-orgs-and-households](skills/affinity/references/model-structure-orgs-and-households.md): Model factual structure such as employment, membership, hierarchy, and household ties without confusing it with live relational mechanics.
-- [record-direct-evidence-well](skills/affinity/references/record-direct-evidence-well.md): Record direct owner-facing social evidence in a way that produces truthful mechanics, good moments, and useful future review surfaces.
-- [record-observations-and-referrals](skills/affinity/references/record-observations-and-referrals.md): Capture third-party and referral truth without overclaiming intimacy, directness, or trust that the operator did not actually earn.
-- [capture-transactions-and-commercial-events](skills/affinity/references/capture-transactions-and-commercial-events.md): Capture commercially meaningful interactions as transactions so operational and service relationships accumulate the right evidence shape.
-- [manage-promises-and-agreements](skills/affinity/references/manage-promises-and-agreements.md): Track obligations explicitly from creation to resolution so open commitments remain actionable and trust consequences stay honest.
-- [manage-recurring-dates-and-reminders](skills/affinity/references/manage-recurring-dates-and-reminders.md): Use date anchors for recurring salience so important birthdays, anniversaries, renewals, and memorials feed review surfaces cleanly.
-- [review-radar-progression-and-graph](skills/affinity/references/review-radar-progression-and-graph.md): Use the review surfaces to prioritize maintenance, understand progression readiness, and read the shape of the relationship graph without guessing from raw rows.
-- [reconcile-duplicates-and-merge-safely](skills/affinity/references/reconcile-duplicates-and-merge-safely.md): Review duplicate candidates carefully and merge only after the identity, history, and structural consequences are understood.
