SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Tech debt triage centralizes the identification and prioritization of maintenance backlog items to streamline remediation planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Score and rank debt items by risk, leverage, and cost to determine sequencing.
  • Produce 30/60/90 plans for debt remediation and DX improvements.
  • Governance-guided evaluation with evidence-based criteria and clear governance.

Quick Start

Run the debt-triage workflow on your codebase to generate a prioritized backlog and a 30/60/90 remediation plan.

Frequently Asked Questions about technical-debt-triage

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize tech debt items in my maintenance backlog?▼

Prioritize tech debt by scoring maintenance backlog items against risk, leverage, and cost. This rules-based evaluation applies governance criteria to return a concrete, impact-led sequencing plan for remediation.

What is the best way to create a 30/60/90 day plan for tech debt remediation?▼

Creating a 30/60/90 plan for tech debt remediation involves ranking maintenance backlog items by impact and effort. The process generates a phased plan that sequences codebase health and DX improvements over time.

How can I reduce developer experience friction and optimize build speed?▼

Reduce developer experience (DX) friction and optimize build speed by triaging maintenance backlog items. Identifying high-leverage debt items allows you to sequence improvements that directly target codebase health and build performance.

How does impact-led sequencing work for codebase health improvements?▼

Impact-led sequencing ranks maintenance backlog items using evidence-based criteria for risk and cost. This governance-guided evaluation determines the optimal order for executing codebase health improvements and DX friction reductions.

Can I use tech debt triage for scoped projects without external dependencies?▼

Yes, tech debt triage operates independently without external dependencies. It applies a rules-based evaluation to scoped projects, analyzing maintenance backlogs to produce a prioritized remediation plan.

What criteria are used to score maintenance backlog items for risk and leverage?▼

Maintenance backlog items are scored using evidence-based criteria focused on risk, leverage, and cost. This governance-guided evaluation ensures debt triage relies on concrete metrics rather than subjective prioritization.
