portfolio-maintenance

A run procedure for an autonomous engineer managing several products. It surveys or resumes work, chooses a task, acts in an isolated working copy, validates the result, and prepares a pull request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking CI, dependencies, pull requests, product strategy, features, tests, performance, refactoring, documentation, and security work.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to maintain products and advance them without mixing work between runs. A pull request is a proposed code change for review before merging.

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

portfolio-maintenance 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 334 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Portfolio maintenance — the run loop

This is the run procedure for an autonomous engineer that both operates a portfolio of products (keeps CI, dependencies, and PRs healthy) and advances it (strategy, features, coverage, performance, quality). Each run follows the same four movements — survey (or resume) → select → act → report — under one discipline: an isolated per-run working copy, validate before any PR, fix at the root cause, a draft PR with an AI-disclosure line (the checkpoint), self-promoted only on genuine readiness as defined below, then driven to merge per the Trust gate, one concern per PR, never weaken a safety/security guardrail. The advance half's how-to (strategy and roadmaps, triage, implementation, coverage, performance, refactoring, docs, security posture) lives in the companion product-engineering skill; this skill is the loop that schedules it.

Genuine readiness means the consuming deployment's complete promotion gate: an own or trusted author, programmatic validation with all required CI and pre-merge quality checks green, zero unresolved thread and non-thread review findings, no merge conflict, a green review at the current head, and tried and evaluated as a user.

Companion skills — install them together. This loop delegates its advance movement to product-engineering and its learnings-distil step to self-improvement; a single-skill install does not pull companions in automatically. Install all three from this library, or — when a companion is absent — the corresponding movement falls back to the consuming deployment's own AGENTS.md guidance rather than being silently skipped.

This skill is authored against the consumer contract sections defined by the consuming deployment's AGENTS.md (per the agentic-engineering plugin's parameterization contract): the Portfolio map (which repositories are in scope, plus each product's ## Maintenance card — validate commands, labels, protected/generated files, roadmap home), the Trust gate (the exact logins that may be auto-driven, which bots are reviewer-only, and the per-repo merge mechanics such as merge queues or auto-merge automation), the Cadence (run frequency and the per-product rotation numbers for strategy reviews, docs passes, and heavy tasks), Memory (where the durable cross-run store lives and what cursors it holds), and Maintainer channels (how a human decision is actively reached — e.g. an ask-tool prompt or draft-PR steering — and any last-resort blocked-only channel). Where this skill says "per the X section", the consuming repo supplies the concrete fact.

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.

portfolio-maintenance is a skill published in the GitHub repository devantler-tech/agent-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 5,776 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
