---name: tech-debtdescription: Identify, 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.--- # Tech Debt Management Systematically identify, categorize, and prioritize technical debt. ## Categories | Type | Examples | Risk ||------|----------|------|| **Code debt** | Duplicated logic, poor abstractions, magic numbers | Bugs, slow development || **Architecture debt** | Monolith that should be split, wrong data store | Scaling limits || **Test debt** | Low coverage, flaky tests, missing integration tests | Regressions ship || **Dependency debt** | Outdated libraries, unmaintained dependencies | Security vulns || **Documentation debt** | Missing runbooks, outdated READMEs, tribal knowledge | Onboarding pain || **Infrastructure debt** | Manual deploys, no monitoring, no IaC | Incidents, slow recovery | ## Prioritization Framework Score each item on:- **Impact**: How much does it slow the team down? (1-5)- **Risk**: What happens if we don't fix it? (1-5)- **Effort**: How hard is the fix? (1-5, inverted — lower effort = higher priority) Priority = (Impact + Risk) x (6 - Effort) ## Output Produce a prioritized list with estimated effort, business justification for each item, and a phased remediation plan that can be done alongside feature work.
