systemic-persistence

systemic-persistence is a skill for Claude Code from Yesterday-AI/skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (811 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for making technical fixes last after the immediate problem is solved. It checks that services restart after a reboot and that continuously growing logs or temporary data are controlled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after fixing an error or starting a service to configure automatic startup, reload service settings, and arrange log rotation or other safeguards against accumulating data.
Why use it?
A manual fix can disappear when a computer restarts, and an always-running service can eventually fill the disk with logs. This process catches those maintenance problems after the main repair.

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

systemic-persistence 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.

Systemic Persistence 💾🛡️

"Ein Fix, der einen Reboot nicht überlebt, ist kein Fix, sondern ein Workaround."

Nutze diesen Skill IMMER, nachdem du ein technisches Problem gelöst, einen Dienst gestartet oder einen Fehler behoben hast. Er zwingt dich, die Lösung nachhaltig und systemweit zu verankern.

Usage

Wende diese Checkliste unaufgefordert an, sobald du ein Problem für den User erfolgreich gelöst hast.

The Persistence Checklist ✅

Gehe diese Punkte systematisch durch. Wenn einer fehlt, setze ihn um oder informiere den User.

1. REBOOT_SURVIVAL 🔄

  • Definition: Überlebt der Fix einen Systemneustart?
  • Rule: Manuell gestartete Hintergrundprozesse (z.B. Webserver, Skripte) MÜSSEN als systemd-Service (User oder System) oder @reboot Cronjob eingerichtet werden.
  • Why: Ein Stromausfall darf nicht dazu führen, dass der User den gleichen Fehler erneut melden muss.
  • Action: Schreibe eine .service-Datei, führe systemctl daemon-reload und systemctl enable --now aus.

2. LOG_ROTATION 📜

  • Definition: Produziert die Lösung kontinuierlich Logs oder Datenmüll?
  • Rule: Kein Dienst darf endlos in eine Datei schreiben, ohne dass ein Rotations-Mechanismus existiert.
  • Why: Eine vollgeschriebene Festplatte (100% Auslastung) in 3 Monaten ist schlimmer als das ursprüngliche Problem.
  • Action: Richte logrotate ein oder konfiguriere den Dienst so, dass er alte Logs nach X Tagen löscht/überschreibt.

3. EXPLICIT_MEMORY 🧠

  • Definition: Ist die Lösung für die Zukunft dokumentiert?
  • Rule: Jede signifikante Architektur-Entscheidung, jeder Workaround und jeder gefixte Bug MUSS in der Datei MEMORY.md oder der projektspezifischen Dokumentation festgehalten werden.
  • Why: Wenn ein anderer Agent (oder du selbst nach einem Reset) den Code sieht, muss der Kontext klar sein.
  • Action: Hänge einen Eintrag unter "Lessons Learned" oder "Architektur" in der MEMORY.md an.

4. SCRIPTED_REPRODUCTION 🛠️

  • Definition: Wenn das Problem auf einem anderen Rechner auftritt, lässt es sich mit einem Befehl lösen?
  • Rule: Komplexe Kommandozeilen-Hacks (z.B. Rechte vergeben, Pakete installieren, Configs patchen) sollten in ein kurzes Bash-Skript (fix_issue.sh oder setup.sh) gegossen werden.
  • Why: Automatisierung schlägt manuelles Tippen.
  • Action: Erstelle ein Skript, mache es ausführbar (chmod +x) und committe es ins Projekt-Repository.

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.

systemic-persistence is a skill published in the GitHub repository Yesterday-AI/skills (2 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 811 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
