tech-debt SKILL.md skillA
tech-debt from drafthq/draft is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add drafthq/draft/tech-debt@git:20260819.fda278ePins git:20260819.fda278e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Identify, categorize, and prioritize technical debt across seven dimensions. Generates remediation plans with effort estimates. Offered by /draft:new-track for refactor tracks.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Tech Debt
You are conducting a technical debt analysis to catalog, prioritize, and plan remediation of debt across the codebase.
## MANDATORY GRAPH LOOKUP (read before debt scan)
First resolve the bundled helpers:
```bash
# Locate Draft's bundled helpers (cwd is the user's project; ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}
# is not exported into skill Bash). See core/shared/tool-resolver.md.
DRAFT_TOOLS="${DRAFT_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(cat ~/.cache/draft/plugin-root 2>/dev/null)}/scripts/tools"
[ -d "$DRAFT_TOOLS" ] || DRAFT_TOOLS="$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/draft/*/scripts/tools 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1)"
[ -d "$DRAFT_TOOLS" ] || DRAFT_TOOLS="$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/*draft*/scripts/tools 2>/dev/null | tail -1)"
[ -d "$DRAFT_TOOLS" ] || DRAFT_TOOLS="$PWD/scripts/tools"
```
When `draft/graph/schema.yaml` exists, this skill **must** follow the graph-first lookup contract in [core/shared/graph-query.md](../../core/shared/graph-query.md) §Mandatory Lookup Contract. Tech-debt prioritization is fundamentally driven by graph data:
1. Run `"$DRAFT_TOOLS/hotspot-rank.sh" --repo .` — **rank candidates by `fanIn × complexity`** to surface high-leverage debt first.

How to install
mdr add drafthq/draft/tech-debt@sha256:be4ca98f11359bceThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.fda278e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
