Assess and rank technical debt with code metrics, impact, and remediation priority. Use for refactor plans and architecture choices.
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.

## Overview
Systematically identify, measure, and manage technical debt to make informed decisions about code quality investments.
## When to Use
- Legacy code evaluation
- Refactoring prioritization
- Sprint planning
- Code quality initiatives
- Acquisition due diligence
- Architectural decisions
## Quick Start
Minimal working example:
```typescript
interface DebtItem {
id: string;
title: string;
description: string;
category: "code" | "architecture" | "test" | "documentation" | "security";
severity: "low" | "medium" | "high" | "critical";
effort: number; // hours
impact: number; // 1-10 scale
interest: number; // cost per sprint if not fixed
}
class TechnicalDebtAssessment {
private items: DebtItem[] = [];
addDebtItem(item: DebtItem): void {
this.items.push(item);
}
calculatePriority(item: DebtItem): number {
const severityWeight = {
low: 1,
medium: 2,
high: 3,
critical: 4,
};

How to install
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/technical-debt-assessment@sha256:2cfd43c81eab99dcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.3aaa44b, 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.
