maintain

A maintenance command for reviewing cleanup, drift, follow-up work, and knowledge capture in an active harness session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Inspecting or updating recorded cleanup tasks, checking knowledge-capture status, reviewing blockers, and confirming whether maintenance is ready to close.
Why use it?
It keeps maintenance details in the session's structured state instead of losing them in separate notes or inventing work outside the current specification.

Per session 11 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 281 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

maintain scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Use this command to inspect or update the maintenance stage for the current harness session.

Required behavior:

  1. Prefer the current session state in .openarche/sessions/<task-id>/state.json. Only create a separate note when the user explicitly asks for one.
  2. Read the current runbook.maintenance.spec section and keep its existing structure stable.
  3. Use runbook.maintenance.spec as the source of truth for:
    • qualitySweep
    • driftSweep
    • cleanupTasks
    • knowledgeCapture
    • knowledgeCaptureSummary
    • followupsRecorded
    • blockers
    • ready
  4. If you update maintenance state, write it back into the session state and keep the full file valid.
  5. If the task is tied to a harness session, prefer updating the real session state over writing free-form prose.

When presenting maintenance work, organize it into:

  • cleanup tasks already recorded
  • whether knowledge capture is still pending, queued, captured, failed, or not applicable
  • whether follow-ups are fully recorded
  • what blockers still keep the maintenance stage open

Do not invent maintenance tasks outside the current spec unless the user explicitly asks to add them.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

maintain is a command published in the GitHub repository Done-0/openarche (12 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 281 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
