What debt categories does it track?

It tracks six primary categories: Code, Architecture, Test, Documentation, Dependency, and Infrastructure.

How does Tech Debt Tracker detect code issues?

The skill uses AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) parsing and pattern matching to identify signals like high cyclomatic complexity, circular dependencies, and missing documentation.

What is the Cost of Delay metric?

Cost of Delay is calculated by multiplying the impact score of a debt item by the frequency of encounter and the time remaining until a fix, helping teams quantify the price of inaction.

Can this skill help with sprint planning?

Yes, it provides a Debt-to-Feature Ratio strategy that recommends how much capacity to reserve for maintenance based on your team's current velocity.

Does it support reporting for non-technical managers?

Yes, it generates an Executive Dashboard that includes high-level health scores, trend analysis, and investment recommendations in business terms.

开发者工具

Identifies, prioritizes, and tracks technical debt across codebases using AST parsing and cost-of-delay analysis.

Tech Debt Tracker is a comprehensive engineering skill designed to help development teams manage the long-term health of their repositories. It moves beyond simple linting by using AST parsing to detect architectural issues, testing gaps, and infrastructure inconsistencies across six distinct categories. By calculating the interest rate and cost of delay for each debt item, the skill enables data-driven prioritization and sprint planning, ensuring teams balance feature delivery with critical maintenance. It includes automated reporting tools to bridge the gap between engineering reality and executive visibility, providing health scores and trend dashboards to track improvement over time.
