skill-maintenance

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides structured guidance for when and how to update Claude Code skills after meaningful codebase changes, helping teams avoid unnecessary churn while ensuring skills stay aligned with evolving patterns and practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Guidance framework for identifying affected skills after architectural changes, new patterns, anti-pattern discoveries, API changes, or security concerns.
• Step-by-step update workflow, including how to decide whether to update, what to modify, and how to communicate changes.
• Minimal-change philosophy that emphasizes small, traceable updates to the skill tree and clear documentation.

Quick Start

1. Review recent codebase changes and list potential impacts on the skill tree.
2. Determine which skills are affected and whether updates are required by the guidelines.
3. Perform minimal, well-documented updates and update the skill-maintenance skill reference accordingly.
