SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually tracking technical debt, code risk surfaces, and maintenance PR feedback in Dex repositories is time-consuming and prone to oversight, especially for teams running regular repository hygiene checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Maintenance Scans: Run on-demand or scheduled background scans to refresh project context, inspect risk surfaces, and generate structured maintenance reports.
  • Scoped Maintenance PRs: Produce tightly focused draft PRs for identified maintenance tasks without manual branch management or commit work.
  • PR Feedback Response: Automatically respond to review comments and CI feedback on maintenance PRs, applying fixes or escalating issues as configured. For example, a team can use this skill to run a nightly technical debt scan, or to address reviewer feedback on an existing maintenance PR without switching context from their current work.

Quick Start

Use the dxmaintain skill to run a nightly maintenance scan of your Dex repository and generate a risk surface report.
