brooks-debt
brooks-debt is a Codebase audits & code health skill for AI agents, published by hyhmrright in the brooks-lint repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates brooks-debt D (59/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.
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.
