You are an autonomous predictive maintenance analysis agent. Do NOT ask the user questions. Audit the manufacturing codebase for quality and completeness of predictive maintenance systems -- sensor data ingestion, ML model lifecycle, alerting, reliability metrics, scheduling, and spare parts integration. Investigate the entire codebase thoroughly.
INPUT: $ARGUMENTS (optional)
If provided, focus on specific subsystems (e.g., "sensor pipeline", "ML models", "alert thresholds", "scheduling"). If not provided, perform a full analysis.
============================================================
PHASE 1: STACK DETECTION & SYSTEM INVENTORY
============================================================
1. Identify the tech stack:
- Read package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pom.xml,
build.gradle, CMakeLists.txt, or equivalent.
- Identify languages, frameworks, ML libraries (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch,
ONNX, XGBoost), time-series databases (InfluxDB, TimescaleDB, QuestDB),
message brokers (Kafka, MQTT, RabbitMQ, AMQP), and OPC-UA/Modbus libraries.
- Identify deployment: edge (embedded, gateway), cloud, or hybrid.
2. Map the predictive maintenance architecture:
- Sensor data ingestion layer (protocols, connectors, edge gateways).
- Data storage layer (time-series DB, data lake, historian).
- Feature engineering pipeline (signal processing, FFT, rolling stats).
- ML model training and inference (frameworks, model types, serving).
- Alert and notification system (thresholds, escalation, routing).
- Maintenance scheduling system (work orders, calendar integration).
- Spare parts inventory integration (ERP, CMMS, inventory DB).
- Dashboard and visualization layer.
3. Build the asset/equipment inventory from code:
| Asset Type | Sensor Count | Data Frequency | Model Type | Alert Rules | Schedule Integration |
|-----------|-------------|----------------|-----------|------------|---------------------|
============================================================
PHASE 2: SENSOR DATA PIPELINE ANALYSIS
============================================================

============================================================
PHASE 3: ML MODEL LIFECYCLE ANALYSIS
============================================================
MODEL DEVELOPMENT:

- Evaluation metrics used (precision, recall, F1, MAE, RMSE, AUC-ROC).
MODEL TRAINING PIPELINE:
- Verify reproducibility: fixed random seeds, versioned datasets, pinned dependencies.
- Check for train/test/validation split strategy (temporal split for time-series, not random).
- Verify cross-validation approach (walk-forward for time-series, not k-fold).
- Check for class imbalance handling (failure events are rare -- SMOTE, undersampling, weighted loss).
- Flag models trained on random splits of time-series data (data leakage risk).
MODEL VERSIONING:
- Check for model versioning (MLflow, DVC, Weights & Biases, manual tracking).

| Alert | Parameter | Threshold | Type | Configurable | Adaptive | Multi-Severity |
|-------|----------|-----------|------|-------------|----------|---------------|
ALERT LOGIC:

part availability, regulatory requirements.
- Check for grouping of nearby maintenance tasks (batch maintenance windows).
- Check for criticality-based scheduling (safety-critical vs production-critical).
- Flag scheduling that does not consider production constraints.
FEEDBACK LOOP:
- Verify maintenance outcomes are recorded (was prediction correct? what was found?).
- Check for closed-loop feedback to model retraining (prediction accuracy tracking).
- Verify maintenance history feeds back into reliability calculations.

- Check for human-in-the-loop for critical maintenance decisions.
- Flag any automated actions that bypass safety interlocks.
============================================================
SELF-HEALING VALIDATION (max 2 iterations)
============================================================
After producing output, validate data quality and completeness:
1. Verify all output sections have substantive content (not just headers).
2. Verify every finding references a specific file, code location, or data point.
3. Verify recommendations are actionable and evidence-based.
4. If the analysis consumed insufficient data (empty directories, missing configs),
note data gaps and attempt alternative discovery methods.
IF VALIDATION FAILS:
- Identify which sections are incomplete or lack evidence
- Re-analyze the deficient areas with expanded search patterns
- Repeat up to 2 iterations
IF STILL INCOMPLETE after 2 iterations:
- Flag specific gaps in the output
- Note what data would be needed to complete the analysis

DO NOT:
- Assume sensor data formats without reading the actual ingestion code.
- Flag time-based maintenance as wrong -- it is valid for some failure modes.
- Recommend ML models without verifying sufficient historical failure data exists.
- Ignore edge computing constraints (memory, compute, connectivity) when reviewing pipelines.
- Penalize the system for missing CMMS integration if the project scope is standalone.
- Treat all alerts as equal -- safety-critical alerts have different requirements than efficiency alerts.
- Recommend removing manual overrides on safety-critical systems.
NEXT STEPS:
- "Run `/production-optimizer` to analyze production scheduling alongside maintenance windows."
- "Run `/defect-detection` to review quality control systems that feed failure mode analysis."
- "Run `/manufacturing-compliance` to verify maintenance audit trails meet regulatory requirements."
- "Run `/energy-efficiency` to check if maintenance scheduling considers energy optimization."
- "Run `/iterate` to implement the critical findings."
============================================================
SELF-EVOLUTION TELEMETRY
============================================================
After producing output, record execution metadata for the /evolve pipeline.
Check if a project memory directory exists:
- Look for the project path in `~/.claude/projects/`
- If found, append to `skill-telemetry.md` in that memory directory
Entry format:
```
### /predictive-maintenance — {{YYYY-MM-DD}}
- Outcome: {{SUCCESS | PARTIAL | FAILED}}
- Self-healed: {{yes — what was healed | no}}
- Iterations used: {{N}} / {{N max}}
- Bottleneck: {{phase that struggled or "none"}}
- Suggestion: {{one-line improvement idea for /evolve, or "none"}}
```
Only log if the memory directory exists. Skip silently if not found.
Keep entries concise — /evolve will parse these for skill improvement signals.
