maintain

maintain is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from T4LEL/Claude-Arsenal. It costs 39 tokens per session (753 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A recurring maintenance checklist for a live product, intended to run monthly. It reviews health, dependencies, updates, data safety, and general housekeeping.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect platform logs and costs, run security audits, apply safe dependency updates, verify the product afterward, and review backups or other data-safety concerns.
Why use it?
It helps catch fresh errors, critical security vulnerabilities, unhealthy costs, and data risks before they become larger outages or incidents.

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 9d 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 — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Maintain

Keep a live product healthy with a repeatable monthly sweep — don't wait for it to break.

Copy this checklist and check off items as you complete them:

Maintain Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Health snapshot
- [ ] Step 2: Dependencies
- [ ] Step 3: Verify after updates (mandatory)
- [ ] Step 4: Data safety
- [ ] Step 5: Sweep
- [ ] Report

Step 1 — Health snapshot

Pull platform logs for fresh errors (vercel logs, supabase MCP get_logs). Note the current error rate and compare hosting/API costs (Vercel, Supabase, any metered LLM usage) against last period — real numbers or stop and say the dashboard wasn't checked. Any figure not pulled from a live source this run is an unverified assumption; label it as such in the report.

Step 2 — Dependencies

Run security advisories first — npm audit / pip-audit. Critical vulnerabilities get fixed now, no exceptions. Apply patch and minor updates in the same pass. List major updates as candidates only — never auto-apply one. Exception to the ordering: when a critical vulnerability's only fix is a major bump, that upgrade task starts now instead of waiting as a candidate. Delegate to the refactor-engineer agent with the current version, target version, and changelog/migration notes (fetched via the context7 MCP tools) as its own task; a major upgrade needs its own plan and test pass, not a slot in a routine sweep.

Step 3 — Verify after updates (mandatory)

Run tests, typecheck, and a production build after any dependency change. Paste the real output — not "should be fine." A failure rolls the update back immediately; debug on a branch rather than leaving a broken bump sitting on top of a working product.

Step 4 — Data safety

Confirm backups exist, then restore-test one thing on a branch or staging — never against production. Supabase: use PITR or a branch restore. An untested backup is a hope, not a backup; if the restore-test fails, or hasn't been run this cycle, say so plainly instead of assuming it would work.

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.

maintain is a skill published in the GitHub repository T4LEL/Claude-Arsenal (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 753 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
