Assess project-wide structural technical debt: complexity hotspots, deprecated API usage, duplication clusters, architecture rot, and low-value tests. Ranks findings by impact and refactor effort into a report at .turbo/technical-debt.md. Use when the user asks to "assess technical debt", "find technical debt", "review technical debt", "what should we refactor", "find refactoring candidates", "where is the code rot", "what's our worst code", "find low-value tests", or…
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
# Assess Technical Debt Surface the structural debt that routine review keeps out of scope: long-lived complexity, deprecated APIs, duplication, tangled architecture, and low-value tests that need deliberate refactoring. Project-wide, analysis-only. Ranks each finding by impact and effort and writes `.turbo/technical-debt.md` and `.turbo/technical-debt.html`. ## Task Tracking At the start, use `TaskCreate` to create a task for each phase: 1. Scope and partition 2. Run debt analysis agents 3. Run `/evaluate-findings` skill 4. Resolve escalated findings 5. Rank and write markdown report 6. Generate HTML report ## Step 1: Scope and Partition If `$ARGUMENTS` specifies paths, assess those directly (skip the question). Otherwise, use `AskUserQuestion` to confirm scope: - **Whole codebase** — assess all source and test files - **Specific paths** — user provides directories or file patterns Once scope is determined: 1. Glob for source and test files in the selected scope. Exclude generated and vendored directories (`node_modules/`, `dist/`, `build/`, `vendor/`, `__pycache__/`, `.build/`, `DerivedData/`, `target/`, `.tox/`, and others appropriate to the project). …

How to install
mdr add tobihagemann/turbo/assess-technical-debt@sha256:c22f5d35bc83f7e7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.181a901, 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.
