skill-maintenance

skill-maintenance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DojoGenesis/mcp. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,782 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintenance process for keeping a directory of coding instructions accurate, complete, and easy to understand.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit existing skills, update terminology, check links between skills, and review new, merged, or retired skills.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unclear names, broken cross-references, outdated terms, and missing information from making skills hard to find or use.

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

skill-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 4d 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.

Skill Maintenance

I. Philosophy: Maintenance Is Keeping What Works Working Well

A skills directory is a living knowledge base. As the project evolves, skill names may become unclear, terminology may need updating, and cross-references may drift out of sync. Without systematic maintenance, the knowledge base degrades: skills become hard to find, references break, and terminology becomes inconsistent.

This skill transforms maintenance from a reactive chore into a proactive ritual. By following a structured process -- read, check, propose, execute, verify, document -- we ensure the skills directory remains clear, consistent, and valuable.

Good maintenance prevents future problems. A well-maintained knowledge base is easier to search, easier to understand, and easier to extend.

II. When to Use This Skill

  • Skill names become unclear or outdated -- names no longer describe what the skill does
  • Terminology needs updating -- tool-specific language should be generalized, or industry terms have shifted
  • Adding new skills -- new skills reference existing skills and need cross-reference validation
  • Deprecating or merging skills -- old skills need to be removed or consolidated
  • Conducting periodic audits -- regular health checks (quarterly recommended)
  • After a major refactor -- ensuring consistency after large-scale changes
  • Onboarding new contributors -- ensuring the knowledge base is accessible

When NOT to use: For creating new skills (use skill-creation). For ecosystem-wide assessment (use skill-audit). This skill is for maintaining individual skills or small groups.

III. The Maintenance Workflow

Step 1: Recognize the Need

Goal: Identify when maintenance is needed and clarify scope.

Actions:

  1. Identify the trigger: user request, noticed inconsistency, scheduled audit, or new skill addition
  2. Clarify scope with the user: What specifically needs to change? What should stay the same?
  3. Document the maintenance goal

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.
