What it does

Maintenance Action is an agent skill from bruin-data/bruin. Use after a diagnosis skill has identified a likely fix and the repository owner wants to define a controlled action.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 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 Databases. The repository describes itself as: Build data pipelines with SQL and Python, ingest data from different sources, add quality checks, and build end-to-end flows. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Databases work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/maintenance-action”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c2ab5b5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Maintenance Action loads about 963 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 528 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~963

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Maintenance Action

When to Use

Use this skill after a diagnosis skill has identified a likely fix and the repository owner wants to define a controlled action.

Inputs

  • Diagnosis summary.
  • Exact action requested by the repository owner.
  • Files, assets, connections, or systems in scope.
  • Required approval process.

Operating Context

  • These starter skills can be used by Bruin Cloud agents, local agents, and external assistants connected to Bruin Cloud.
  • In Bruin Cloud, use Cloud CLI access when the agent has it enabled. Use the bruin cloud CLI when the assistant has shell access and a configured API key or .bruin.yml; use Bruin Cloud MCP only when the assistant is configured for MCP tool calls or does not have direct CLI access. If using the CLI, supported operational commands include bruin cloud runs trigger --project-id <project-id> --pipeline <pipeline-name>, bruin cloud runs rerun --project-id <project-id> --run-id <run-id> --only-failed, bruin cloud pipelines enable --project-id <project-id> --pipeline <pipeline-name>, and bruin cloud pipelines disable --project-id <project-id> --pipeline <pipeline-name>.
  • In local development, create runs with direct terminal commands such as bruin run <path>, bruin run <asset>, bruin validate <path>, and bruin query. Read troubleshooting context from terminal output and the local logs/ folder, especially logs/runs, query logs, and export logs when they exist.
  • If action verification requires running an asset or pipeline, prefer a dev or shadow environment. If none exists, ask whether to run in production or create temporary copies of the affected tables to reproduce and test the issue.
  • For other agent runtimes or orchestrators, customize this skill with the correct log source and action mechanism before using it to trigger runs, enable or disable schedules, mark statuses, or change external systems.

Context to Gather

  • Confirm the action is explicitly requested and scoped.
  • Inspect affected files and downstream dependencies.
  • Identify whether the action touches data, source systems, credentials, or production environments.
  • Determine the smallest validation command that proves the action worked.
  • Use Bruin MCP docs tools or bruin <command> --help to confirm the current command syntax before running Cloud or local CLI commands.

Decision Tree

  • If the action touches production data or credentials, stop unless explicit approval is present.
  • If the action changes repo files, make a minimal diff and run validation.
  • If the action fixes data logic, first verify the known bad row, key, partition, or timestamp, then run the broader validation only after the specific example is resolved.
  • If the action requires a pull request, prepare a clear summary and verification notes.
  • If the action is not yet defined, return the diagnosis and ask for the missing policy.

Actions

Define repository-specific actions here. Until customized, this skill must not modify data, source systems, production settings, credentials, repo files, Bruin Cloud pipeline state, or run state.

Verification

  • Run the smallest relevant Bruin validation command.
  • For Cloud actions, verify the resulting state with bruin cloud runs get, bruin cloud runs list, or bruin cloud pipelines get.
  • For local actions, verify with the local command output, bruin validate <path>, and local logs/ files when present.
  • Record any command that could not be run.

Output

Return:

  • Action taken or reason no action was taken.
  • Files or systems touched.
  • Validation results.
  • Remaining manual approval or follow-up.
