maintain-flow

maintain-flow is a skill for Claude Code from iamcxa/kc-claude-plugins. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,215 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintenance tool for the static instruction files and profile references that define the kc-dev-flow-2 workflow. It checks their declared routing without running the development workflow itself.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to edit workflow skills, run the supplied lint checks, test changes to those checks, and report changed files and untested claims.
Why use it?
It helps keep shared rules, profile-specific rules, and routing consistent without accidentally starting work or claiming that behavior was tested.

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-flow 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 today.

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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Maintain flow

Invocation: kc-dev-flow-2:maintain-flow

Read the framework and the affected skill's routing table. Put cross-stage profile principles in their one shared reference, stage-common practices in principles.md, and differences in that stage's profiles directory. Preserve exact variant namespaces and the POC ideation skip; avoid copying a shared rule into each profile or adding unused automation scaffolding.

Every adopter copies references/sd/workflow.md as its workflow README, and the implementation and validation stages inline its context-sections into each dispatch, so its text costs every FO and worker. For each rule added to it, state in the change: the incident it answers; whether a package script, test or SD command already enforces it, in which case write one sentence naming that enforcer instead of restating it; and which existing sentence it replaces, or that it replaces none. Before adding, look for a sentence to shorten or remove. Report the file's word count before and after, and the words each worker stage inlines. kc-dev-flow-2/scripts/lint-skills.py refuses a file whose count differs from its word budget and a passage of 12 or more words that another package file repeats; a raise of the budget needs a Captain ruling in the budget steps, a cut lowers it in the same change, and listing an overlap says why.

Run python3 kc-dev-flow-2/scripts/lint-skills.py from the repository root. Before each push of a package change, run python3 kc-dev-flow-2/extensions/roborev/roborev_gate.py --repo <worktree> --base <merge base> and fix what it reports inside the change: a maintainer change is not dispatched through FO, so no implementation stage runs it. When changing lint behavior, run python3 kc-dev-flow-2/scripts/test_lint_skills.py and add a mutation only for a material failure the check is meant to catch. Use an available Agent Skills specification validator for broader authoring format checks; the bundled CLI reuses the repository's basic frontmatter check and validates declared routing structure and package script paths, not the full standard or agent behavior.

An optional tool joins as an extension: a folder kc-dev-flow-2/extensions/<name>/ holding its scripts, their tests and an EXTENSION.md in the shape of the existing ones. The workflow mentions extensions only in its ## Extensions section and the README's extensions: list, so a repository that lists none is unchanged.

A script that newly needs a line or step only FO writes must also print it from a script the previous release's README already has FO run at that moment, shown by running the new scripts over the previous release's record shape; no check enforces this.

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.
