 ## Go SDK (`sdk/go/`)
 
-- The Go SDK lives in `sdk/go/` with module path `github.com/NVIDIA/OpenShell/sdk/go`.
-- Run `mise run go:ci` for the full SDK CI pipeline (lint, build, test, proto-check, docs-check).
-- Proto bindings are generated with `mise run go:proto:gen` from the `.proto` files in `proto/`.
-- Domain types in `sdk/go/openshell/v1/types/` must not import proto packages.
-- Converters in `sdk/go/openshell/v1/internal/converter/` deep-copy slices and maps at boundaries.
-- Tests use bufconn for in-process gRPC and testify for assertions.
+- The Go SDK moved to [ai-openshell/sdk-go](https://github.com/ai-openshell/sdk-go) (module `github.com/ai-openshell/sdk-go`). Open SDK changes there.
+- `sdk/go/` is frozen until it is removed; Branch Checks fails PRs that change it. Proto changes do not need regenerated Go bindings.
