SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Track, categorize, and prioritize technical debt across the codebase to keep systems healthy and maintainable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Debt scanning: detect TODO/FIXME/HACK markers, deprecated markers, and large files.
  • Debt register: maintain a living list of debt items with categorization and prioritization.
  • Scheduling: recommend repayment plans and sprint alignment.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to scan the repository for debt indicators and review the debt register.

Frequently Asked Questions about tech-debt

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track and prioritize technical debt across my codebase?▼

You can track technical debt by scanning the codebase for indicators like TODO and FIXME markers, logging items into a debt register, and generating prioritized repayment schedules aligned to sprints.

What is the best way to scan for tech debt indicators like deprecated markers and large files?▼

Scanning for tech debt involves detecting TODO, FIXME, and HACK markers alongside deprecated markers and large files, then logging these findings into a categorized debt register for maintenance planning.

Does this technical debt tracking approach work for codebases of varying sizes?▼

Yes, technical debt scanning and prioritization is applicable to codebases of varying sizes, enabling consistent detection of debt indicators and scheduling of repayment plans regardless of repository scale.

How do I generate a repayment plan for technical debt during sprint planning?▼

Generate a technical debt repayment plan by reviewing the debt register and using the scheduling phase to recommend prioritized debt items aligned with upcoming sprint planning cycles.

What limitations exist when managing a living list of technical debt items?▼

Managing a living technical debt list relies on deterministic scan, add, prioritize, and report phases, meaning it requires manually adding unscanned debt items and does not automatically refactor code.

Can I categorize code maintenance issues and generate a summary report?▼

Yes, you can categorize code maintenance issues within the debt register and use the report phase to generate a summary view of tracked technical debt items and their prioritization status.
