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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00051 | $0.00478 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00239 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00096 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00048 |
Grade A, and why
doncheli-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 13d 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
Don Cheli: Tech Debt Scanner
Instructions
- Scan the codebase for tech debt signals:
- TODO/FIXME/HACK/XXX comments with file and line
- Functions exceeding cyclomatic complexity of 10
- Files exceeding 300 lines (configurable)
- Duplicated code blocks (> 10 lines repeated 3+ times)
- Deprecated dependencies or APIs in use
- Missing error handling (uncaught exceptions, empty catch blocks)
- Test files that exist but have 0 assertions
- Score each item by impact (high/medium/low) and effort (hours estimate)
- Compute a Tech Debt Ratio: debt items / total files
- Prioritize using the impact/effort matrix: Quick Wins first, then High Impact
- Recommend a remediation plan with a suggested order
- Never auto-refactor — produce the plan and wait for approval
- Save the report to
.dc/tech-debt-<date>.md
Output Format
## Tech Debt Report — 2026-03-28
### Summary
- Total debt items: 18
- Tech Debt Ratio: 18/94 files = 19% (target: <10%)
- Estimated remediation effort: ~14h
### Quick Wins (high impact, low effort)
1. src/utils/format.ts — 3 duplicate date-format blocks — 1h — extract to shared util
2. src/auth/token.ts:88 — empty catch block silently swallows JWT errors — 30m fix
### High Impact (high impact, higher effort)
1. src/payments/processor.ts — cyclomatic complexity 18 — 4h refactor
### Low Priority
1. 7 TODO comments in src/legacy/ — document or schedule removal
### Remediation Plan
Sprint 1 (8h): Quick wins + empty catch blocks
Sprint 2 (6h): payments/processor.ts refactor
Backlog: legacy TODOs
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.

doncheli-tech-debt is a skill published in the GitHub repository doncheli/don-cheli-sdd (57 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 478 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
