Is this skill limited to TypeScript projects?

While it features specialized support for TypeScript (like unused export detection), it works effectively on any JavaScript-based project using standard web patterns.

What tools does this skill use to detect debt?

It leverages high-performance static analysis tools like ripgrep (rg), ast-grep for pattern matching, and ts-unused-exports to scan codebases quickly and accurately.

Can Tech Debt Guard fix the issues it finds?

Yes, after generating a report, it can offer to create GitHub issues, suggest specific refactoring patterns, or generate a step-by-step plan for Claude to implement the fixes.

How does it determine the severity of code issues?

It classifies issues like empty catch blocks and hardcoded secrets as Critical, while items like stale TODOs and functions over 100 lines are marked as Moderate or Low.

開発者ツール

Identifies and prioritizes technical debt, code smells, and stale comments to maintain a healthy codebase.

Tech Debt Guard is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to automate the detection and categorization of code rot and technical debt. By scanning for long functions, unused exports, magic numbers, and stale TODOs, it provides a prioritized report ranging from critical security risks to low-priority maintenance tasks. Ideal for end-of-session hygiene or pre-sprint planning, it helps developers reduce complexity and prevent production issues caused by anti-patterns like empty catch blocks or hardcoded secrets through automated static analysis and refactoring suggestions.
