deadeye-debt

deadeye-debt is a skill for Claude Code from deepaksinghcs14/deadeye-cc. It costs 0 tokens per session (580 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A ledger for deliberate shortcuts left in source code. A shortcut marker records what was simplified, its current limit and the condition that should prompt an upgrade.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a codebase for deadeye markers, list them by file and line, identify missing upgrade conditions and check ownership with Git history.
Why use it?
It makes temporary compromises visible so they are less likely to be forgotten or become hidden technical debt.

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

deadeye-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 — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deadeye Debt

Coder mode marks deliberate simplifications with a pinned grammar — the literal ceiling: and upgrade: keywords are required so this ledger can parse them reliably:

# deadeye: <shortcut>. ceiling: <limit>. upgrade: <trigger>.

e.g. # deadeye: global lock. ceiling: single-writer throughput. upgrade: per-account locks when contention shows.

This skill collects them into a ledger. Older freeform markers (no ceiling:/upgrade: keywords) still count — parse them best-effort.

How

Run:

grep -rnE '(#|//|/\*|<!--) ?deadeye:' . \
  --exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=.git \
  --exclude-dir=dist --exclude-dir=build --exclude-dir=vendor

Filter before counting — three kinds of hit are not markers, verify each one before it lands in the ledger:

  1. This skill's own file (skills/deadeye-debt/SKILL.md) — its own grammar example matches its own grep.
  2. A line quoting the grammar template verbatim, with the literal placeholders <shortcut>, <limit>, or <trigger> still in it — docs and other skills quote the sentence to explain the convention; a real marker always has those filled in with actual text, never the bracketed words themselves.
  3. Non-code brand/marketing copy (an SVG comment, a README aside) that happens to start with "deadeye:" but isn't a shortcut-marker comment at all — read the hit, don't just count it.

Only what survives that filter is a real marker.

Ledger format

One row per marker:

<file>:<line> — <what was simplified>. ceiling: <limit>. upgrade: <trigger>.

A marker whose comment names no upgrade condition gets tagged no-trigger — those are the ones most likely to rot.

For ownership questions, suggest git blame -L<line>,<line> <file>.

More than ~30 markers: group rows by directory and report per-group counts plus the worst offenders, still ending with the exact total.

End with: <N> markers, <M> with no trigger. — or, if the grep finds nothing: No deadeye: debt. Clean ledger.

deadeye-debt is a skill published in the GitHub repository deepaksinghcs14/deadeye-cc (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 580 tokens. 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.
