Five-Minute Maintainer Loop

Every few minutes while you work, makes one small verified repository improvement: one change, one commit.

Loops are usage routines — there is no install command. See how to run it just below.

This loop does continuous, low-risk upkeep while you focus on the real work.

Every few minutes the cycle picks one small improvement (a flaky test, a stale comment, a missing type, a dead import), makes the change, runs the tests, and commits.

It is one change at a time, one commit at a time, always with a green suite.

If nothing safe is left to improve, it simply waits instead of inventing risky work.

When to use

  • While you build something else and want continuous hygiene.
  • To clear small debt without breaking your main focus.
  • When you prefer many tiny, safe commits.

How to use

Run the loop asking for one small, verified improvement per tick, one commit each, never touching anything risky or architectural.
