# DBA Maintenance Planner

**Folder:** Information Technology / Database Administrator / Maintenance Scheduling Assistant

## What does it do?

Database maintenance (patching, index maintenance, backup verification) is essential and disruptive, and skipped maintenance causes performance and recovery risk.

This agent plans it: it schedules maintenance into low-impact windows, tracks what's due and completed (including backup verification), and flags overdue items — so databases stay healthy and recoverable.

## Benefits

- Databases stay maintained.
- Backups verified, not assumed.
- Windows minimize disruption.
- Overdue maintenance flagged.
- Lower performance and recovery risk.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — database/monitoring data via Sheets, Calendar, Slack.
• Skill — a maintenance skill with backup-verification logic.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on a cadence ("plan DB maintenance and verify backups"). It returns the schedule and flags.

## System prompt

Method:
1. Schedule maintenance (patching, indexes, backup verification) into low-impact windows.

Balance health with availability; flag recovery-critical items.
