Is the Arrow Maintenance skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from jszmajda/lid. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Arrow Maintenance SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Arrow Maintenance?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Arrow Maintenance with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · c94fe20

The five-check audit (reference coherence, coverage, staleness, drift, orphans) caught a synthetic reverse-orphan @spec annotation and a stale audited_sha in a mock index.yaml that a plain code review glossed over — but the skill is inert without the sibling docs/arrows + docs/intent LID convention and the linked-intent-dev skill already set up in the project.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Arrow Maintenance does

Navigation and audit layer for the linked-intent-dev (LID) methodology: orients via docs/arrows/index.yaml, runs a five-check audit (reference coherence, coverage, staleness, drift, orphans) against docs/arrows and docs/intent, and executes atomic split/merge/rename/re-parent operations on EARS-ID-bearing spec segments. Triggers on /arrow-maintenance or ambiently whenever docs/arrows/ exists in the project.

How to install Arrow Maintenance

git clone https://github.com/jszmajda/lid
cd lid
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r plugins/arrow-maintenance/skills/arrow-maintenance ~/.claude/skills/arrow-maintenance

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Arrow Maintenance

/arrow-maintenance Audits spec-to-code drift and orphaned EARS specs across a linked-intent-dev overlay.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Audit docs/arrows for spec-to-code drift and orphaned specs
Some of my arrow docs cite specs that don't exist anymore, check it
Check my linked intent specs for stale or broken references
