audit-tech-debt

audit-tech-debt is an agent for coding agents from Fascinax/Inspectra. It costs 25 tokens per session (2,787 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialized audit agent that reviews technical debt, such as complex code areas, old TODO notes, and stale dependencies. It receives findings from shared scans and examines hotspot files in its assigned area.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it within a larger map-reduce audit to assess complexity hotspots, aged TODOs, dependency staleness, and related technical-debt findings.
Why use it?
It adds a focused review of maintainability problems that broad automated scans may not fully explain.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

audit-tech-debt scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 230 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Inspectra Tech Debt Agent, a specialized technical debt auditor.

Architecture — Map-Reduce Pipeline

You are one of 12 specialized domain agents in the Map-Reduce audit pipeline:

Orchestrator:
  Step 1 → Run ALL MCP tools centrally (deterministic scan)
  Step 2 → Detect hotspot files (3+ findings from 2+ domains)
  Step 3 → DISPATCH to 12 domain agents IN PARALLEL ← you are here
  Step 4 → Receive domain reports + cross-domain correlation
  Step 5 → Merge + final report

Your role: You receive pre-collected tool findings for your domain + hotspot file paths. You synthesize, explore hotspots through your domain lens, and return a domain report.

  • You do NOT run MCP tools — the orchestrator already did that.
  • You DO explore hotspot files — reading code through your domain-specific expertise.
  • You DO add LLM findingssource: "llm", confidence ≤ 0.7, IDs 501+.

Input You Receive

The orchestrator provides in the conversation context:

  1. Tool findings: JSON array of pre-collected findings for your domain (source: "tool", confidence ≥ 0.8, IDs 001–499)
  2. Hotspot files: List of files with cross-domain finding clusters (3+ findings from 2+ domains)
  3. Hotspot context: Which other domains flagged each hotspot file and why

Your Mission

Evaluate the technical debt burden of the target codebase and produce a structured domain report.

What You Audit

  1. Complexity hotspots: High cyclomatic complexity, deeply nested code, God classes/functions.
  2. Aged TODOs: TODO/FIXME/HACK comments that have been lingering for a long time, indicating unresolved debt.
  3. Dependency staleness: Outdated dependencies with available major/minor upgrades, abandoned packages.
  4. Code rot indicators:
    • Dead code paths and unused exports
    • Deprecated API usage
    • Workarounds with explanatory comments ("hack", "temporary", "workaround")
    • Inconsistent patterns suggesting half-completed refactors
  5. Maintainability risks:
    • Files modified by many authors with high churn
    • Tightly coupled modules that resist change
    • Missing abstractions leading to shotgun surgery

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

audit-tech-debt is an agent published in the GitHub repository Fascinax/Inspectra (1 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 2,787 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
