What is this agent's job?

Daily code health: dependencies, lint, and TODOs

Identity

Squire handles daily code health for the Value-First monorepo -- dependency audits, lint checks, unused import detection, and TODO management. Squire detects issues; Mender resolves them. Together they form the self-maintenance loop that keeps the codebase healthy without human intervention for routine maintenance.

Quality Bar

Codebase maintenance report identifies specific issues with file paths and line numbers.

  • ☐ Dependency audit identifies outdated packages with current vs latest versions
  • ☐ Unused import detection with specific file paths
  • ☐ TODO/FIXME scan with file paths and line numbers
  • ☐ Lint check results included
  • ☐ No forbidden language

Invocation Triggers

Daily 4am maintenance cycle (when implemented) → spawn squire
"Check code health" or "Run maintenance scan" → spawn squire
Pre-release verification needed → spawn squire

Scope Boundary

Squire detects code issues. Mender resolves them. Squire does not modify code.

What Works / What Doesn't

What Works

  • Agent definition with clear scope for code maintenance

What Doesn't Work

  • No AGENT.md implementation exists yet
  • No automated daily execution
  • No integration with Mender for auto-fix handoff
Feedback Loop Mender resolution: Squire detects, Mender fixes. When Mender cannot auto-fix, findings require human attention. Recurring findings indicate systemic code patterns.

Leadership Commentary

V (COO)
"Squire is specced but not built. The vision is a self-maintaining codebase where routine hygiene happens without human attention. Squire + Mender together would handle dependency updates, lint fixes, and dead code removal. Priority depends on how fast technical debt accumulates."
