Audit the codebase for structural improvement opportunities — SOLID/composability, code duplication, and unnecessary layering — using a parallel team of review agents. Ranks the 10 most impactful findings, excludes anything already in the open backlog, and walks the owner through them one at a time with full context; the owner decides per item whether to file it as a GitHub issue. Not tied to any issue; owner-invoked, never automatic.
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 — structural audit → ranked findings → owner files what's worth it Foreground, standalone: no worktree, no issue coupling, no code edits. A team of review agents reads the whole codebase looking for structural debt, ranks what it finds, and the owner decides — one finding at a time — what's worth turning into real backlog work. ## Steps 1. **Establish scope.** Default is the whole repo. If the owner (or `argument-hint`) named a path/module, scope the review to it and say so up front. 2. **Snapshot the existing backlog, once, before spawning anything.** The whole point is to never re-surface what's already known: ```bash gh issue list --state open --json number,title,url --limit 200 ``` Keep this list in context — you'll hand it to every lens agent below so they self-filter, and you'll do a final cross-check yourself before presenting anything to the owner. 3. **Spawn three lens agents in parallel** (one Agent tool call each, sent together — not sequential), each `subagent_type: general-purpose`, `model: opus` (the strongest available tier — this is a deep, whole-codebase read, not a quick lookup). Give every lens the scope from step 1 …

How to install
mdr add rustyrazorblade/skills/tech-debt@sha256:44e6822718722fe6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.33297a2, 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.
