Tech Debt
Skill ActiveIdentify, 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.
To help teams systematically identify, categorize, and prioritize technical debt, enabling them to make informed decisions about refactoring and maintenance.
Features
- Identifies and categorizes various types of technical debt
- Applies a structured prioritization framework (Impact, Risk, Effort)
- Generates phased remediation plans
- Provides clear definitions and examples for debt types
Use Cases
- When a user asks about code quality or refactoring priorities
- To conduct a technical debt audit of a project
- To prioritize maintenance backlog items
- When discussing the 'code health' of a system
Non-Goals
- Automatically fixing all identified technical debt
- Performing code analysis beyond categorization and prioritization
- Managing feature development workflows
Trust
- warning:Issues AttentionThere are 29 open issues and 4 closed issues in the last 90 days, indicating a low closure rate and potentially slow response from maintainers.
Practical Utility
- info:Usage examplesWhile the SKILL.md provides a prioritization framework and categories, it lacks concrete, end-to-end usage examples showing input, invocation, and output.

Cleanup Cycles
100Detect and untangle circular dependencies. Runs madge/skott (TS), pycycle (Py), or compiler-only checks (Go/Rust). Auto-fixes leaf-extractable cycles; reports core cycles for human review. Use when the user asks to find circular imports, fix dependency cycles, or untangle module graph. Example queries — "find circular imports", "fix dependency cycles", "untangle our module graph", "why is madge complaining".
Coding Standards
100Baseline cross-project coding conventions for naming, readability, immutability, and code-quality review. Use detailed frontend or backend skills for framework-specific patterns.
PM Skill Iterate
99Applies targeted improvements to an existing pm-skills skill based on feedback, validation reports, or convention changes. Reads current files, previews proposed changes, writes on confirmation, and suggests a version bump. Use when improving a skill after validation or feedback.
Migrate Validate
100Validate pending migrations for foreign key consistency, rollback safety, and best practices
Semgrep Rule Creator
100Creates custom Semgrep rules for detecting security vulnerabilities, bug patterns, and code patterns. Use when writing Semgrep rules or building custom static analysis detections.
