Open-Sourced Claude Code Skill Audits Entire Codebase for Tech Debt
tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-13
A developer shared an open-source Claude Code skill called tech-debt-skill designed to perform thorough tech debt audits across an entire codebase.
Unlike generic LLM code reviews that output best-practice checklists, this tool avoids that failure mode with three core design choices:
- Forced orientation: The model is forced to read manifests, map directory structures, and analyze git churn to build a mental model of the architecture before making any judgments.
- File:line citations: Every finding includes a specific citation to ensure issues are grounded in the actual code.
- Actionable output: It generates an audit report featuring severity, effort estimates, and a ranked list of what to actually fix.
