Conversation
The skill only mentions `projects trash` for changing project status, so a user looking to archive a project either reaches for trash by mistake or gives up. The underlying `PUT /projects/<id>/status/<status>.json` endpoint already works (and is what the web UI uses) — surface it via `basecamp api put` in the Projects section so the skill points at the right tool. Also adds `projects trash` to the listed commands for completeness.

basecamp api putin the Projects section. - Adds a quick verification hint using
basecamp projects show ... --jq.

Summary
The skill's Projects section only lists
projects trashfor changing a project's status, so anyone looking to archive a project either trashes by accident or gives up and does it in the web UI. The status endpoint that the web UI hits (PUT /projects/<id>/status/<status>.json) already works throughbasecamp api put, so this PR surfaces it inline in the skill.archived/active/trashedrecipes viabasecamp api putto### Projectsprojects trashto the existing command list for symmetryNo CLI code changes — skill text only.
