Recommend PyMongo AsyncMongoClient over deprecated Motor#25
Merged
Conversation
The connection skill listed Motor as the canonical Python async MongoDB driver. MongoDB announced Motor's deprecation in May 2024 in favor of PyMongo's built-in async API (`AsyncMongoClient`, GA in PyMongo 4.9, Sept 2024). Motor receives only critical fixes through May 2026 and will be end-of-life after that. Because this is the only place in the kit that mentions an async Python driver, agents currently default to recommending Motor for any `DocumentDB + async Python` task. Update the bullet to point at `pymongo.AsyncMongoClient` and add a short callout explaining the deprecation so future contributors don't reintroduce Motor.

Summary
The connection skill (
skills/connection/SKILL.md) lists Motor as the canonical Python async MongoDB driver. MongoDB announced Motor's deprecation in May 2024 in favor of PyMongo's built-in async API (AsyncMongoClient, GA in PyMongo 4.9, Sept 2024). Motor receives only critical fixes through May 2026 and is end-of-life after that.This is the only place in the kit that mentions an async Python driver, so it acts as the default routing signal — agents triggered on ""DocumentDB + async Python"" tasks currently recommend Motor by default, steering users onto a deprecated driver.
Change
One-line wording fix plus a short deprecation callout so future contributors don't reintroduce Motor.
