Description
## Summary
Remove outdated and unused GitHub Actions workflows that are creating noise without value.
## Analysis
### 1. claude-code-pr-generator.yml - OBSOLETE
- **950 workflow runs, ALL skipped** (massive waste)
- Replaced by `claude-implementation.yml`
- Uses old `@anthropic-ai/claude-code` npm package
- Triggers on `ai-generate` label that's never actually used
- Has stale docs in `.github/workflows/docs/claude-code-pr-generator.md`
### 2. test-mcp-server.yml - LIKELY OBSOLETE
- Shows in API but may not exist in current directory
- If exists, likely outdated MCP testing replaced by better methods
## Workflows to Keep (But Worth Noting)
These workflows are rarely triggered but serve valid purposes:
- **validate-secrets.yml** - Only runs when `.bash_secrets.example` changes
- **test-arch-install.yml** - Only runs on arch-specific path changes
- **test-general-dotfiles-setup.yml** - Only runs on setup script changes
- **validate-dotfiles.yml** - Validates bash scripts on main push
## Implementation Plan
1. Delete `.github/workflows/claude-code-pr-generator.yml`
2. Delete `.github/workflows/docs/claude-code-pr-generator.md`
3. Check for and delete `test-mcp-server.yml` if it exists
4. Clean up any references to removed workflows
## Impact
- **Removes 950 useless workflow runs** from history
- Reduces confusion about which workflows are active
- Cleaner, more maintainable codebase
- Follows subtraction-creates-value principle
## Success Criteria
- [ ] Obsolete workflows deleted
- [ ] Associated documentation removed
- [ ] No broken references remain
- [ ] GitHub Actions page shows only active, useful workflows
## Principles
- **subtraction-creates-value**: Strategic removal creates more value than addition
- **systems-stewardship**: Keep systems clean and maintainable

Research direction
Start by checking .github/workflows/claude-code-pr-generator.yml, .github/workflows/docs/claude-code-pr-generator.md, and whether test-mcp-server.yml exists. Search the repository for references to these workflows before removing them. Done means the obsolete files and references are gone, with only the intended active workflows remaining.
