I suspect my approach is even more controversial… I just open Claude code and type /routine-maintenance and it reads the skill file, logs into all my systems on my home network and runs updates, validate backups are still healthy, update any docker images, checks SMART stats, reviews some logs, and then fires off an email using brevo to tell me any future maintenance concerns I might have.
Edit: zero minutes old already downvoted.
But using AI is not the point of the article.
