assess-technical-debt
From the author
Assess project-wide structural technical debt: complexity hotspots, deprecated API usage, duplication clusters, architecture rot, and low-value tests. Ranks findings by impact and refactor effort into a report at .turbo/technical-debt.md. Use when the user asks to "assess technical debt", "find technical debt", "review technical debt", "what should we refactor", "find refactoring candidates", "where is the code rot", "what's our worst code", "find low-value tests", or "which tests can we delete". Analysis-only — does not modify code.

- tech-debtanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsIdentify, categorize, and prioritize technical debt. Trigger with "tech debt", "technical debt audit", "what should we refactor", "code health", or when the user asks about code quality, refactoring priorities, or maintenance backlog.OfficialEngineering★ 31.9K
- brooks-debthyhmrright/brooks-lintTech debt assessment that identifies, classifies, and prioritizes maintainability problems — helping teams build a refactoring roadmap — drawing on twelve classic engineering books. Triggers when: user asks about tech debt, refactoring priorities, what to clean up first, or asks "why is this so hard to change?", "what should we fix first?", or "how do I justify refactoring to management?". Do NOT trigger for: server health checks, HTTP /health endpoints, Kubernetes probes, database health, or application uptime — "health" in those contexts is infrastructure, not code quality. Also not for single-function refactoring questions.DevOps★ 1.5K
- tech-debt-auditcode-yeongyu/oh-my-openagentThorough, file-cited technical debt audit across 9 dimensions using AST-grep (tree-sitter), grep, LSP, and language-native tooling. Produces TECH_DEBT_AUDIT.md with severity, effort estimates, and prioritized fixes. Use when asked for codebase health check, tech debt audit, architecture review, code quality assessment, or cleanup planning. Triggers: 'tech debt', 'technical debt', 'debt audit', 'code health', 'technical debt audit', 'codebase health check', 'find tech debt', 'debt analysis', 'audit code quality'.Planning★ 70.3K
- tech-debt-trackerborghei/Claude-SkillsScan codebases for technical debt with AST parsing, prioritize by impact, and generate trend dashboards. Use when tracking tech debt, prioritizing refactoring, calculating cost-of- delay, planning sprint debt, or reporting debt to execs.Planning★ 969
- technical-debt-managementcbrock84/headcountMakes technical debt visible and decidable — distinguishing real debt from mess, quantifying its cost, and arguing for remediation in business terms. Use this to assess and prioritize debt, decide whether to fix or live with something, justify remediation work to non-engineers, or plan a migration off a system nobody wants to touch.Planning★ 2.1K
- phx-techdebtoliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenixAnalyze Elixir/Phoenix technical debt — duplicates, refactoring opportunities, credo issues. Use when asked about code quality, cleanup, or what to improve.Engineering★ 569
