Repository maintenance: sync the README, remove confirmed dead artifacts, update dependencies safely. Use when "housekeep", "clean up repo", "update README", or "update dependencies". Unused exports → plan-dead-code. Parked work → housekeep-backlog.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Repo Housekeep **Degree of freedom: MIXED.** What is dead vs still referenced `[HIGH freedom]`; delete-only-after-proof and dependency bump commands `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`. Copy this checklist and tick items as you go: ``` - [ ] Step 1: Auto-detect project configuration: stack, manager, paths - [ ] Step 2: README sync: cross-check every section against reality - [ ] Step 3: Dead file cleanup: validate before deleting; fix .gitignore - [ ] Step 4: Dependency updates: research the changelog before a major bump - [ ] Step 5: Verify build, lint, and tests after updates - [ ] Step 6: Research-driven general cleanup; commit each phase separately - [ ] Step 7: Summary report from the Housekeep Report template ``` ## This skill vs neighbors | Skill | Owns | |---|---| | **workflow-housekeep** (this) | README sync, confirmed dead artifacts removed, safe dependency updates | | `housekeep-dead-code` | Remove dead code by category, one commit each, then a Knip ratchet | | `plan-dead-code` | Plan-only Knip audit of unused files, exports, deps; deletes nothing | | `housekeep-backlog` | Inventory parked work into a living BACKLOG.md | …

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/skills/workflow-housekeep@sha256:050c6f2f1a442b22The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.95c89e5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
