About

Technical Debt Analysis

Systematic methodology for identifying, classifying, and prioritizing technical debt across a codebase. This skill diagnoses — it produces an inventory and remediation roadmap but does not modify code.

When to Use

  • User asks about technical debt, maintenance burden, or "what's slowing us down"
  • Starting a new engagement with an unfamiliar codebase
  • Before a major refactor to scope and prioritize work
  • Periodic health check on code quality

Workflow

1. Scan

Walk the codebase and identify debt items using the [debt categories](references/debt-categories.md).

  • Glob for project structure and file sizes
  • Grep for known smell patterns (TODO/FIXME/HACK, deeply nested code, large files)
  • Read representative files in hotspot areas
  • Classify each finding into its debt category

Scaling by codebase size:

| Files | Strategy | | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |

  • Scope:

Debt Items

| # | Category | Item | Location | Risk | Effort | Tier | |---|----------|------|----------|------|--------|------| | 1 | Code | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |

Prioritized Roadmap

Recommendations

  • [key observations and suggested next steps]

## Output Format

1. **Debt Inventory** — Categorized list with locations, risk levels, and effort estimates
2. **Prioritized Roadmap** — Action tiers with rationale for ordering
3. **Recommendations** — Sequencing and scoping advice (what to tackle first and why). Diagnosis and prioritization, not implementation steps.

## Reference Files

Detailed taxonomy and scoring guidance:

- [debt-categories.md](references/debt-categories.md) — Debt types with detection criteria and measurement thresholds
- [roi-framework.md](references/roi-framework.md) — Impact assessment, risk classification, and prioritization tiers

## Do not use when

- Finding specific bugs with file:line precision — use `code-audit`
- Reviewing a specific staged or branch diff — use `diff-review`
- Auditing dependency health specifically — use `deps-audit`
- Performance profiling without structural concerns
- Single-file code review
