What is Maintenance Agent

Maintenance Agent automates code changes across multiple repositories using AI. Instead of manually updating dozens or hundreds of repos, you describe what needs to change once, and Maintenance Agent generates the code changes across all your repositories.


The Problem

Software teams regularly need to make the same change across many repositories:

  • Updating CI/CD pipeline configurations
  • Migrating from deprecated APIs
  • Standardizing security settings
  • Adding required documentation
  • Updating dependency versions

The manual approach takes weeks:

  • Explaining what needs to change to multiple teams
  • Negotiating priorities and timelines
  • Tracking who's actually making updates
  • Many changes never get made at all

How Maintenance Agent Helps

1. Describe the change once

Tell Maintenance Agent what needs to change in plain language:

"Add Snyk security scanning step to all GitHub Actions workflows. Add it after the build step with the org's Snyk token from secrets."

2. Maintenance Agent generates code

Maintenance Agent reads your code to understand context, then generates appropriate changes for each repository. This happens in parallel across all selected repos.

3. Review and create PRs

Review the proposed changes, then create pull requests across all repositories.

4. Review and create PRs

Automate reminders to the relevant teams and track progress from one dashboard.

Result: What used to take weeks now takes days. 🎉


Who Uses Maintenance Agent?

Platform engineers who need to standardize configurations across services.

DevOps teams rolling out infrastructure or pipeline updates.

Security teams implementing security policies or fixes.

Engineering leaders maintaining consistency across growing codebases.

Any team that needs to coordinate changes across multiple repositories.


What Makes Maintenance Agent Different?

AI-powered, not templating: Maintenance Agent understands your code and generates contextual changes, not just find-and-replace.

Works on existing repos: No need to restructure your codebase or adopt new patterns. Maintenance Agent works with what you have.

You stay in control: Review every change before PRs are created. Maintenance Agent generates, you approve.

One dashboard: Track all PRs, see progress at a glance, no spreadsheets.


Quick Example

Scenario: Your security team requires all repositories to add Snyk security scanning to their CI/CD pipelines. You have 80 repositories using GitHub Actions.

Without Maintenance Agent:

  • Email all teams explaining the new security requirement
  • Each team adds it to their backlog
  • Track progress in a spreadsheet
  • Follow up with teams that haven't started
  • 8 weeks later, maybe 50% complete
  • Security audit finds gaps in coverage

With Maintenance Agent:

  • Describe the change: "Add Snyk security scanning step to all GitHub Actions workflows. Add it after the build step with the org's Snyk token from secrets."
  • Select 80 repositories
  • Review generated changes across all repos
  • Create pull requests
  • 4 days later, all PRs are in review
  • Teams merge on their schedule
