AB technical-debt-register
Document and prioritize a technical debt backlog with business impact, effort estimates, and resolution strategy. Use when asked to audit technical debt, create a debt register, prioritize tech debt for a quarter, document architectural shortcuts, or build a debt reduction roadmap. Produces a structured technical debt register covering debt inventory by category, business impact per item, effort and priority scores, top-item resolution plans, and a quarterly debt reduction roadmap.
Document and prioritize a technical debt backlog with business impact, effort estimates, and resolution strategy.
As a process B 78/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: failures and branches, running it twice
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- note
edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 12): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions
Process rating: all ten parameters 78/100
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 30Running it twice. 5 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 45 steps
- 100Result and completion. Output format and completion criterion are stated
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3314 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low 13 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 486: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 24 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 45 items
- +3Output format is stated explicitly
- +4Has examples (2 code blocks)
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (1 of 2)
