What's inside
- Skill name
brooks-debt- Description
- Tech debt assessment that identifies, classifies, and prioritizes maintainability problems — helping teams build a refactoring roadmap — drawing on twelve classic engineering books. Triggers when: user asks about tech debt, refactoring priorities, what to clean up first, or asks "why is this so hard to change?", "what should we fix first?", or "how do I justify refactoring to management?". Do NOT trigger for: server health checks, HTTP /health endpoints, Kubernetes probes, database health, or application uptime — "health" in those contexts is infrastructure, not code quality. Also not for single-function refactoring questions.

# Brooks-Lint — Tech Debt Assessment ## Setup Read in order: 1. `../_brooks-shared/common.md` — Iron Law, Project Config, Report Template, Health Score 2. `../_brooks-shared/source-coverage.md` — book coverage, exceptions, tradeoffs 3. `../_brooks-shared/decay-risks.md` — symptom definitions and source attributions 4. `debt-guide.md` (this directory) — the debt classification framework ## Process **Scope:** if the user did not describe the codebase or point to specific areas, apply Auto Scope Detection (`../_brooks-shared/common.md`) first. 1. Scan for all six decay risks (Step 1 of the guide); list every finding before scoring 2. Apply the Pain × Spread priority formula and classify debt intent (Steps 2–3 of the guide) 3. Group findings by decay risk (Step 4 of the guide) 4. Output using the Report Template from common.md, plus the Debt Summary Table **Mode line in report:** `Tech Debt Assessment`
