maintain

maintain is a skill for Claude Code from ApurvBazari/claude-plugins. It costs 82 tokens per session (2,660 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An internal apply step that writes approved maintenance findings into project instruction files and tooling, then records the result. It runs from a prior detection report and does not ask interactive questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to apply detected tooling drift and approved lessons to `CLAUDE.md` files and produce a maintenance result record.
Why use it?
It turns already-approved repository maintenance changes into edits while avoiding guesses when the input is unclear.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 18d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Maintain Skill — Apply Detected Tooling Drift and Approved Lessons

You are running onboard's maintain apply step. The caller has already run maintain-detect.sh (a script, no model) and, optionally, collected lessons its owner approved. Your job is narrow: write the report's apply items and the approved lessons into tooling — verbatim, one line per fact, in each file's own style — and record what you did. The run is non-interactive: nobody will answer a question, so never ask one. Unsure → defer, never guess.

You may be running in the caller's main session or inside a subagent; the steps are the same (you need only the paths and the repository).

Input

File paths only, given as detect=<path> out=<path> [lessons=<path>] or as a JSON object with those keys:

Key File Contract
detect the detect report ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/schemas/maintain-detect.json
lessons approved lessons (optional) ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/schemas/maintain-lessons.json
out where the result goes ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/schemas/maintain-result.json

Who writes what

.claude/ is a protected path in Claude Code: your Write and Edit tools may not write there in an unattended run. So:

  • You edit CLAUDE.md files (Step 3) with the Edit tool.
  • maintain-write.sh writes lesson entries (Step 4) and records every result entry; maintain-guard.sh after --result writes the result file (Step 5). Never write under .claude/ or the out file with your own tools.

Read files — the inputs, tooling files, and this skill's references/ — with the Read tool. Run every helper from the repository root as its own bash "<script>" … call — no cd, no shell variables, no ; or && chains, no pipes. Pass every free-text value — lesson text, evidence summary and ref, the summaries you compose — in single quotes, exactly as given, and write an apostrophe inside it as '\'' (don't → 'don'\''t'). Never double quotes: inside them bash runs `backticks` and expands $names before the helper sees the text, and lesson text is markdown, full of backticks:

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.
