Technical debt cleanup - inspects and cleans up duplicate code, console.log, unused imports, etc.

What it does

Techdebt is an agent skill from jh941213/my-cc-harness. Technical debt cleanup - inspects and cleans up duplicate code, console.log, unused imports, etc. Recommended before ending a session. Triggers on "technical debt", "techdebt", "console.log cleanup", "unused imports", "dead code cleanup", "dependency cleanup", "tech debt scan". Anti-triggers: "add new features", "refactoring", "code simplification (simplify)".

Its SKILL.md is about 500 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 Development, covering Technical debt and Code simplification.

When your agent uses it

Console.log cleanup
Dead code cleanup
Dependency cleanup

Example prompts

“technical debt”
“techdebt”
“console.log cleanup”
“/techdebt”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Edit, Bash

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Duplicate Code
Unused Code
Debug Code
Code Quality

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e9210e2. 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:
- Read
- Grep
- Glob
- Edit
- Bash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
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

Techdebt loads about 503 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 104 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~503

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
```
allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Edit, Bash
```

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 104 words (~503 tokens).

“Finds and cleans up technical debt in the codebase before ending a session.”
