Team Tech Debt

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Technical debt

Example prompts

• “team tech debt”
• “/team-tech-debt”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): spawn_agent(*), wait_agent(*), send_message(*), followup_task(*), close_agent(*), list_agents(*), report_agent_job_result(*), request_user_input(*), Read(*), Write(*), Edit(*), Bash(*), Glob(*), Grep(*), mcp__ace-tool__search_context(*), mcp__ccw-tools__read_file(*), mcp__ccw-tools__write_file(*), mcp__ccw-tools__edit_file(*), mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg(*)

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1TDSCAN produces broad debt inventory
2. 2TDEVAL assesses and prioritizes (filters low-impact items)
3. 3TDPLAN creates sequenced fix plan from assessed items
4. 4TDFIX implements fixes per plan
5. 5TDVAL validates fixes against original debt findings

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 07491b0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • spawn_agent(*)
  • wait_agent(*)
  • send_message(*)
  • followup_task(*)
  • close_agent(*)
  • list_agents(*)
  • report_agent_job_result(*)
  • request_user_input(*)
  • Read(*)
  • Write(*)

  …and 9 more on the same allowed-tools line.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Team Tech Debt loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 576 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~83

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Unified team skill for tech debt identification and remediation. Scans codebase for tech debt, assesses severity, plans and executes fixes with validation. Uses team-worker agent architecture with roles/ for domain logic. Coordinator orchestrates pipeline, workers are team-worker agents. Triggers on "team tech debt".
