SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Cognitive ecosystems accumulate stale artifacts, orphaned files, pending decisions, and untriaged inbox items over time. This Skill runs structured maintenance sweeps so the executive always knows the health status of their microversos without manually auditing each one. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Health Sweeps: Verifies that every microverso contains its canonical files (index.md, log.md, SCHEMA.md, context/, knowledge/) and classifies each as OK, warning, or critical. - Pending Decision & Artifact Audits: Reviews kanban cards without next steps, stale tasks, missing receipts, broken links, and orphaned artifacts. - Standardized Reporting: Generates a fixed-format report with sections for executed tasks, pending items, recommendations, and alerts, sending critical alerts immediately via send_message. - Native Scheduling: Uses Hermes cronjob exclusively for weekly, biweekly, and daily routines defined in YAML workflow files. - Use Case: Schedule a Sunday 8am maintenance run that audits all microversos, triages the inbox, and delivers a digest of pending decisions to the executive. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run a weekly maintenance routine as the síndico persona, check the health of all microversos, and generate the standardized report.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule automated maintenance routines with Hermes cron?▼

Use the native hermes cron create command with a cron expression, a routine name, and a prompt invoking the maintenance skill. For example, schedule weekly Sunday 8am runs with '0 8 * * 0', then manage them with cron list, pause, resume, and run commands.

What does the síndico persona check during a microverso health sweep?▼

The síndico verifies that each microverso contains index.md, log.md, SCHEMA.md, and context/ and knowledge/ directories. It classifies each microverso as OK, warning, or critical depending on which canonical files are missing.

Can the maintenance persona modify or fix files in the acervo directly?▼

No. The síndico operates with can_modify_acervo set to false, so it only reports problems and recommends corrective actions. The executive must approve and execute any fixes, preserving the permission contract.

What format does the maintenance report follow?▼

The report has four mandatory sections: executed tasks, pending items, recommendations, and alerts, using status emojis. Empty sections show 'Nenhum(a)' rather than being omitted, and the report ends with a timestamp and execution duration.

When should I not use the maintenance skill?▼

Do not use it for creating new artifacts or content, executing production tasks, onboarding new microversos, or debugging the Hermes runtime. Those belong to production skills, the exec profile, or dedicated onboarding skills.
