lean-debt

lean-debt is a skill for Claude Code from ezBuilder/code-brain. It costs 28 tokens per session (194 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only scanner for intentional simplification markers in a code repository. These markers record code that has a known limit and should be revisited when a stated condition occurs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding every `cb-simplify` comment, listing its file, line, limit, and revisit condition, and counting markers that have no condition.
Why use it?
It gives the team a small, consistent report of postponed cleanup without changing files or scanning generated and dependency folders.

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

lean-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 1mo 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

cb-simplify: 마커는 알려진 한계가 있는 단순화를 의도적으로 남길 때만 쓴다.

규칙:

# cb-simplify: <ceiling>; revisit when <trigger>

스캔:

  • repo에서 cb-simplify: comment marker를 찾는다.
  • .git, .ai/cache, build output, dependency directory는 제외한다.
  • 읽기 전용으로 보고만 한다.

보고 형식:

<file>:<line> - <ceiling>. revisit when <trigger>.

trigger가 없으면 no-trigger를 붙인다. 끝에 <N> markers, <M> no-trigger.를 적는다. 없으면 No cb-simplify debt.만 적는다.

Changes

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.
