When to Use

Use this skill when a maintenance task encounters problems beyond automated cleanup:

• Uncertain whether code is safe to delete
• Configuration changes require domain expertise (security, performance, architecture)
• Breaking changes detected during cleanup
• Complex refactoring needed (not just cleanup)
• Security-sensitive findings (hardcoded secrets, vulnerabilities)

Do NOT use for simple issues with clear fixes. Escalate only when automated cleanup is risky or insufficient.
