SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps engineering teams manage technical debt by aggregating, classifying, scoring, and prioritizing items across the active sprint, and by producing a rolling tech-debt dashboard with stable TD-{N} IDs, aging buckets, and target validations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated debt aggregation across sprint stories, triage findings, and backlog items.
  • Deterministic dashboard generation with stable IDs and aging analysis for trend comparison vs prior dashboards.
  • Actionable outputs including the tech-debt-dashboard.md and updated action-items.yaml to track remediation work.

Quick Start

Ask Gaia to run gaia-tech-debt-review for the current sprint and review the resulting dashboard.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate technical debt tracking across an active sprint?

Automate technical debt tracking by aggregating sprint stories and backlog items into a rolling dashboard with stable TD-{N} IDs, debt classification, and aging analysis for remediation prioritization.

What is the best way to classify technical debt into categories for prioritization?

Classify technical debt into DESIGN, CODE, TEST, or INFRASTRUCTURE categories using deterministic helper scripts that score items and prioritize remediation actions within the current sprint.

How does tech debt aging analysis work for sprint management?

Tech debt aging analysis works by comparing the current sprint's tech-debt-dashboard.md against prior dashboards, tracking stable TD-{N} IDs over time to identify trends and prioritize outstanding items.

Can I generate a tech debt dashboard automatically from backlog items?

You can generate a rolling tech-debt-dashboard.md automatically from sprint artifacts and backlog items, producing stable TD-{N} IDs, aging buckets, and updated action-items.yaml for remediation tracking.

Does the tech debt review process require external dependencies to run?

The tech debt review process requires no external dependencies, operating with deterministic helper scripts and memory context loading to produce the final dashboard and action items.
