What it does

Housekeeping is an agent skill from alexeykrol/claude-code-starter. Фоновое обслуживание проекта: актуальность README, CHANGELOG, версии, .gitignore, метафайлов.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes and Technical documentation. It works with npm and Git. The repository describes itself as: Meta-documentation framework for AI-assisted development with Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation

Example prompts

  • “/housekeeping”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep, Bash

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. README.md
  2. CHANGELOG.md
  3. Версия
  4. .gitignore audit
  5. Метафайлы фреймворка
  6. Drift detection

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f3302a9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Edit
    • Write
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • npm
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, npm and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Housekeeping loads about 759 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 289 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~759

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep, Bash

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 289 words (~759 tokens).

“Запускается по запросу пользователя или агента. Агент должен вызывать housekeeping перед git push — это его ответственность, не автоматический хук. Проверяет и приводит в порядок всё, что могло устареть.”
