SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Tech debt identification and tracking framework that helps engineering teams quantify, prioritize, and monitor code-quality issues across bases to optimize maintenance work. It provides a scalable workflow to convert noisy debt signals into actionable remediation plans and executive visibility.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Debt Scanner: detects debt signals across codebases and surfaces actionable items.
  • Debt Prioritizer: scores debt items using cost-of-delay, WSJF, and risk-based frameworks.
  • Debt Dashboard: tracks debt trends, velocity, and executive reporting for informed decision-making.
  • Real-world use case: when debt density rises in a critical service, teams plan remediation sprints and allocate capacity effectively.

Quick Start

Scan your repository for debt signals with the debt_scanner, then generate a prioritized backlog using debt_prioritizer.

Frequently Asked Questions about tech-debt-tracker

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify and quantify technical debt in a legacy codebase?▼

To identify and quantify technical debt, scan your repository for debt signals to generate a debt inventory, then calculate severity and cost metrics to guide remediation decisions for legacy systems or multi-language repositories.

What is the best way to prioritize technical debt items for sprint allocation?▼

Prioritize technical debt items by scoring them using cost-of-delay, WSJF, and risk-based frameworks to generate a prioritized backlog with sprint allocation recommendations for engineering teams.

How do I track tech debt trends and generate executive reporting for engineering management?▼

Track tech debt trends and generate executive reporting by using a debt dashboard that monitors remediation velocity and debt density across codebases to provide visibility for informed decision-making.

Does this technical debt tracking workflow work with multi-language repositories managed in CI/CD?▼

Yes, this technical debt tracking workflow is designed for CI/CD-managed projects and multi-language repositories where code quality and maintainability are priorities for engineering teams.

How do I turn noisy code-quality signals into an actionable remediation plan?▼

Turn noisy code-quality signals into an actionable remediation plan by scanning the codebase to detect debt signals, then generating a prioritized backlog with severity and cost metrics for sprint planning.
