# Maintenance Swarm Strategy

## Purpose
System maintenance and updates through coordinated agents.

## Activation

### Using MCP Tools
```javascript
// Initialize maintenance swarm
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init({
  "topology": "star",
  "maxAgents": 5,
  "strategy": "sequential"
})

// Orchestrate maintenance task
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate({
  "task": "update dependencies",
  "strategy": "sequential",
  "priority": "medium",
  "dependencies": ["backup", "test", "update", "verify"]
})
```

### Using CLI (Fallback)
`npx claude-flow swarm "update dependencies" --strategy maintenance`

## Agent Roles

### Agent Spawning with MCP
```javascript
// Spawn maintenance agents
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
  "type": "analyst",
  "name": "Dependency Analyzer",
  "capabilities": ["dependency-analysis", "version-management"]
})

mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
  "type": "monitor",
  "name": "Security Scanner",
  "capabilities": ["security", "vulnerability-scan"]
})

mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
  "type": "tester",
  "name": "Test Runner",
  "capabilities": ["testing", "validation"]
})

mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
  "type": "documenter",
  "name": "Documentation Updater",
  "capabilities": ["documentation", "changelog"]
})
```

## Safety Features

### Backup and Recovery
```javascript
// Create system backup
mcp__claude-flow__backup_create({
  "components": ["code", "config", "dependencies"],
  "destination": "./backups/maintenance-" + Date.now()
})

// Create state snapshot
mcp__claude-flow__state_snapshot({
  "name": "pre-maintenance-" + Date.now()
})

// Enable fault tolerance
mcp__claude-flow__daa_fault_tolerance({
  "agentId": "all",
  "strategy": "checkpoint-recovery"
})
```

### Security Scanning
```javascript
// Run security scan
mcp__claude-flow__security_scan({
  "target": "./",
  "depth": "comprehensive"
})
```

### Monitoring
```javascript
// Health check before/after
mcp__claude-flow__health_check({
  "components": ["dependencies", "tests", "build"]
})

// Monitor maintenance progress
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_monitor({
  "swarmId": "maintenance-swarm",
  "interval": 3000
})
```
