tech-debt skillA
tech-debt is agent-read markdown (skill) from drafthq/draft: Identify, categorize, and prioritize technical debt across seven dimensions. Generates remediation plans with effort estimates. Offered by /draft:new-track for refactor tracks..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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@git:20260819.fda278emdr add drafthq/draft/tech-debt@sha256:be4ca98f11359bcePin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
