What it does
Honey Debt is an agent skill from Green-PT/honey-for-devs. Harvest every honey: comment in the codebase into a debt ledger, so the deliberate shortcuts Lever 1 leaves behind get tracked instead of rotting into "later means never". Flags markers with no revisit trigger — those are the ones that go permanent silently. Use when the user says "honey debt", "/honey-debt", "what did honey defer", "list the shortcuts", or "what did we mark to do later". One-shot report; changes nothing.
Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: Honey (I Shrunk the AI) by GreenPT: a cross-tool coding skill that cuts AI coding-agent token usage and LLM API costs — write less code, less prose, and denser agent-to-agent… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- — those are the ones that go permanent silently
- The user says honey debt
- What did honey defer
- List the shortcuts
Example prompts
- “later means never”
- “honey debt”
- “/honey-debt”
- “/honey-debt”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9169fc5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Honey Debt loads about 483 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 212 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.

Honey Debt
Lever 1 trades code for a known ceiling. That trade is only honest if someone can
see it later. Every deliberate simplification carries a honey: comment naming its
ceiling and the trigger to revisit; this collects them into one ledger.
Scan
grep -rnE '(#|//|--|/\*) ?honey:' . --exclude-dir={node_modules,.git,dist,build,vendor}Each hit is one row. The comment prefix is what keeps prose that merely mentions the convention out of the ledger.
Output
One row per marker, grouped by file:
<file>:<line> — <what was simplified>. ceiling: <the limit>. trigger: <when to revisit>.
The convention is honey: <ceiling>, <trigger>, so both fields come straight from
the comment. Add git blame -L<line>,<line> -- <file> per row only if the user asks
who owns it.
Tag any marker with no trigger no-trigger — a ceiling without a revisit condition
is the shape that rots. End with:
<N> markers, <M> with no trigger.
Nothing found: No honey: debt. Clean ledger.
Boundaries
- Report only. Don't fix, refactor, or remove markers — the user decides what to pay down. Offer, don't act.
- Don't invent debt. A
TODO/FIXMEis not ahoney:marker; mention the count separately at most once if it's large, don't fold it into the ledger. - Don't editorialise per row. The ledger is data. Save any judgement for one closing line, and only if something is genuinely alarming.
