omh-tech-debt-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rlaope/oh-my-hermes. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,755 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for auditing accumulated technical debt: code problems that make future changes harder, slower, or riskier.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a codebase, cite findings by file and line, prioritize cleanup, and plan work within a time budget.
Why use it?
It turns a broad cleanup concern into a ranked list with evidence, severity, effort, quick wins, and resolved findings.

About the project

oh-my-hermes is an operating layer for Hermes Agent that organizes requests into workflows for planning, research, creation, coding handoffs, operations, and project memory. Hermes users run these workflows through the desktop app, CLI, or messenger app, while the catalogue add-ons extend its native capabilities.

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

omh-tech-debt-audit 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 9d 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.

Tech Debt Audit

This is a Hermes-native tech-debt-audit workflow skill.

Why This Exists

tech-debt-audit exists so accumulated debt becomes a ranked, reconcilable ledger instead of a one-off complaint: findings cite file:line, severity and effort make the trade-off explicit, quick wins are separated from big fixes, and reruns mark what was resolved instead of rediscovering it.

Do Not Use When

  • The target is one diff, PR, or claim rather than the codebase's accumulated state; use code-review.
  • The user wants the debt removed now, behavior preserved; use ai-slop-cleaner for deletion-first cleanup.
  • A boundary-changing fix from the ledger needs its execution shaped into phases; use refactor-plan.
  • The question is release risk for a specific deploy rather than source quality; use production-audit.

Examples

Good example:

  • Prompt: Audit our tech debt and tell me what to fix first - we have maybe two weeks of cleanup budget.
  • Expected behavior: Orientation from manifests and churn, dimension-by-dimension findings with file:line citations, the severity-by-effort ledger with top fixes and quick wins sized to the budget, and the looks-bad-but-fine list.
  • Why: A budgeted what-to-fix-first question is exactly the ranked ledger this workflow produces.

Bad example:

  • Prompt: This module is a mess, rewrite it properly.
  • Expected behavior: Refuse the rewrite framing: audit the module into ledger findings with bounded fixes, or route a decided restructure to refactor-plan.
  • Why: A rewrite recommendation is the failure mode the ledger exists to replace with bounded, ranked fixes.

Completion Checklist

  • Orientation evidence is observed: manifests, churn ranking, and largest files are named, not assumed.
  • Every finding has id, dimension, file:line, severity, effort, and a bounded recommendation.
  • Quick wins and top fixes are ranked, and the looks-bad-but-is-actually-fine section is present.
  • On rerun, every prior finding is reconciled RESOLVED, CARRIED, or superseded - none silently dropped.

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.
