tech-debt

tech-debt is a skill for Claude Code from IdoCohen560/claude-unity-game-studio. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,028 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of tech-debt, MIT.

A tracker for technical debt: code and design problems that make future changes slower or riskier. It scans a codebase, records findings, groups them by type, and helps order them for later work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan for debt indicators, add debt items, reprioritize the debt register, and produce a status report.
Why use it?
It turns scattered TODOs, workarounds, duplication, outdated dependencies, and missing tests or documentation into a visible list you can manage.

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

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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to tech-debt — 25 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Phase 1: Parse Subcommand

Determine the mode from the argument:

  • scan — Scan the codebase for tech debt indicators
  • add — Add a new tech debt entry manually
  • prioritize — Re-prioritize the existing debt register
  • report — Generate a summary report of current debt status

If no subcommand is provided, output usage and stop. Verdict: FAIL — missing required subcommand.


Phase 2A: Scan Mode

Search the codebase for debt indicators:

  • TODO comments (count and categorize)
  • FIXME comments (these are bugs disguised as debt)
  • HACK comments (workarounds that need proper solutions)
  • @deprecated markers
  • Duplicated code blocks (similar patterns in multiple files)
  • Files over 500 lines (potential god objects)
  • Functions over 50 lines (potential complexity)

Categorize each finding:

  • Architecture Debt: Wrong abstractions, missing patterns, coupling issues
  • Code Quality Debt: Duplication, complexity, naming, missing types
  • Test Debt: Missing tests, flaky tests, untested edge cases
  • Documentation Debt: Missing docs, outdated docs, undocumented APIs
  • Dependency Debt: Outdated packages, deprecated APIs, version conflicts
  • Performance Debt: Known slow paths, unoptimized queries, memory issues

Present the findings to the user.

Ask: "May I write these findings to docs/tech-debt-register.md?"

If yes, update the register (append new entries, do not overwrite existing ones). Verdict: COMPLETE — scan findings written to register.

If no, stop here. Verdict: BLOCKED — user declined write.


Phase 2B: Add Mode

Prompt for: description, category, affected files, estimated fix effort, impact if left unfixed.

Present the new entry to the user.

Ask: "May I append this entry to docs/tech-debt-register.md?"

If yes, append the entry. Verdict: COMPLETE — entry added to register.

If no, stop here. Verdict: BLOCKED — user declined write.


Phase 2C: Prioritize Mode

Read the debt register at docs/tech-debt-register.md.

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.
