ariadne:maintenance

ariadne:maintenance is a skill for Codex from pariyar07/ariadne. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,351 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintenance and health-check tool for Ariadne Markdown knowledge vaults, which are organized folders of linked notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit and repair links, note structure, indexes, metadata, processing queues, unresolved questions, and health reports.
Why use it?
Knowledge vaults can develop broken links, orphaned notes, invalid metadata, stale queues, or missing navigation as they change over time.

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

ariadne: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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ariadne Maintenance

Use this skill when auditing, repairing, or maintaining a Markdown knowledge vault over time.

Start

  1. Read root instructions and every applicable ancestor scope instruction through the target.
  2. Read relevant indexes, agent navigation, health-check procedure, and navigation standard.
  3. Discover findings read-only. In a multi-scope vault, require a current-turn named or confirmed target before scoped repairs.
  4. Run sync_scope_topology.js --check for topology findings. Audit/check behavior is always zero-write.

Health Checks

Check for:

  • invalid Markdown frontmatter
  • invalid .base YAML
  • broken wikilinks, resolving both .md and .base files
  • Markdown notes with no incoming or outgoing wikilinks
  • .base files missing from Bases/00 Bases Index.md
  • important notes missing from folder hubs
  • folder hubs missing from agent navigation
  • stale inbox items
  • stale processing queue items
  • decisions without rationale
  • generated outputs that should be filed back into the wiki
  • entry files or folder hubs becoming too large to scan
  • durable folders without 00 ... Index.md hubs
  • recurring workstreams missing from task routing
  • stale or missing local AGENTS.md files for specialized folders
  • promoted scopes missing hubs
  • child hubs missing parent links
  • parent hubs missing child links
  • local Bases missing folder scope filters
  • local AGENTS.md files repeating parent policy instead of local deltas
  • local queues piling up inside child scopes
  • scope indexes becoming full tables of contents instead of navigable maps

Proactive Repair Routing

When you discover a problem during unrelated vault work, surface it instead of letting it become hidden drift:

  1. State what appears broken.
  2. Explain why it matters for future agents or human navigation.
  3. Recommend the smallest next check or skill.
  4. Say whether you can safely fix it now or need approval.

Use this routing:

  • Global discovery, stale registry entrypoints, or missing adapter marker blocks: use ariadne:global-discovery and run the Ariadne discovery doctor.
  • Broken wikilinks, orphan notes, invalid frontmatter, invalid .base YAML, unlinked Bases, or validator warnings: use ariadne:validator first, then repair with this skill.
  • Navigation bloat, missing hubs, missing parent-child hub links, task routing drift, or unclear scope boundaries: use ariadne:navigation.
  • General inbox, processing, or output buildup: use ariadne:knowledge-capture.
  • Research provenance, compilation coverage, stale synthesis, unresolved research questions, evidence roles, circular corroboration, or older pipeline drift: use ariadne:research-stewardship.
  • Missing repeatable research infrastructure inside a scope: use ariadne:research-pipeline.

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.
