docs: note ai-dev-kit deprecation in README + experimental/README#109
Merged
Conversation
ai-dev-kit (databricks-solutions/ai-dev-kit) was the historical upstream for experimental/ skills. It is now deprecated; databricks/databricks-agent-skills is the source of truth and updates land here directly rather than via re-sync from a-d-k. - README.md "Experimental Skills" — clarify "originally imported" rather than "imported", and call out that a-d-k is deprecated. - experimental/README.md — same framing in the top warning; drop the "out of date relative to upstream ai-dev-kit" bullet (no longer the failure mode), and redirect issue-filing away from a-d-k. This PR was prepared by Claude.

Summary
ai-dev-kit(databricks-solutions/ai-dev-kit) was the historical upstream forexperimental/skills. It is now deprecated — DAS is the canonical home and updates land here directly rather than via re-sync from a-d-k.Updates both READMEs to reflect that.
Changes
README.md"Experimental Skills" — clarify "originally imported" rather than "imported", and call out that a-d-k is deprecated.experimental/README.md— same framing in the top warning block; drop the now-obsolete "may be out of date relative to upstream ai-dev-kit" bullet, and redirect issue-filing away from the deprecated a-d-k repo.No code or skill content changes.
Why
External readers (especially downstream consumers like CoDA and the ai-dev-kit Genie Code installer) need a single sentence they can point at when they say "go to DAS, not a-d-k". Sister-PRs landing today:
refresh-databricks-skillsskill repoints from a-d-k to DAS.Test plan
