techdebt-scan

techdebt-scan is a command for Claude Code from PierreJanineh/TechDebtMCP. It costs 19 tokens per session (361 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that scans a project for technical debt, meaning code and design problems that make future changes harder or riskier.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze a project directory, view health and SQALE metrics, count issues by severity, estimate remediation time, and identify the most urgent findings.
Why use it?
It gives a prioritized view of the project’s accumulated maintenance work instead of leaving issues scattered across files and languages.

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

techdebt-scan 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Scan the project for technical debt using the tech-debt-mcp analyzer.

Steps

  1. Resolve the project path:

    • If the user supplied a path argument ($ARGUMENTS), use it as-is (it must be an absolute path).
    • Otherwise, use the current working directory.

  2. Call mcp__tech-debt-mcp__analyze_project with { "path": "<resolved-path>" }.

  3. Call mcp__tech-debt-mcp__get_sqale_metrics with { "path": "<resolved-path>" }.

  4. Present a concise summary:

    • Health score (from mcp__tech-debt-mcp__analyze_project) and SQALE rating (from mcp__tech-debt-mcp__get_sqale_metrics).
    • Total issue count broken down by severity (critical / high / medium / low).
    • Estimated total remediation time.
    • Top 5 issues ranked by severity from the mcp__tech-debt-mcp__analyze_project results, including file, line, and a one-line fix hint.

  5. Offer to dive deeper into any specific file, category, or severity if the user wants more detail.

Notes

  • Do not duplicate MCP tool logic — all analysis is performed by the tools above.
  • If the path is not an absolute path, tell the user and ask for the absolute path before proceeding.

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.
