What it does

Maintain is an agent skill from devantler-tech/ksail. Repository maintenance for devantler-tech/ksail — triage, bug fixes, CI/workflow health & CI-failure/flaky investigation, docs upkeep, driving every open PR (external contributions included) to a terminal state, weekly E2E coverage + live reliability testing, and the monthly KSail Strategy roadmap. Use when performing autonomous or on-request maintenance of this repo.

Its SKILL.md is about 210 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Debugging, Failing and flaky tests and End-to-end testing. The repository describes itself as: All-in-one Kubernetes SDK: create, manage, and operate clusters across distributions (Kind, K3d, Talos, VCluster) with built-in GitOps, secrets, AI assistant, and MCP server…

When your agent uses it

  • Performing autonomous
  • On-request maintenance of this repo

Example prompts

  • “/maintain”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b3a23bc. 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

Maintain loads about 209 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 51 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~209

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 51 words (~209 tokens).

“Perform maintenance per the ## Maintenance section of this repo's AGENTS.md, within the shared devantler-tech maintenance conventions it references. Pick the highest-value tasks for the current repo state; quality over quantity; work in draft PRs, self-promote only on the readiness…”
