Claude Skills by bcanfield

Register a deferred decision in the debt registry. Trigger by judgment, not a marker scan, whenever a future reader would ask "why this way?": an unmade decision, stub, loosened type, bypassed check, swallowed error, a default picked "for now", or a TODO/FIXME/HACK/XXX marker. Trigger immediately whenever you defer work, or when the user invokes /debt-ops:add. Over-register freely; the developer drops with "drop A", "drop A,C", or "drop all".

Write or refresh the `## Tech debt operations` section in CLAUDE.md so a team shares one source of truth for debt-ops disciplines and cached quality commands. Idempotent. Only the managed section changes; other sections are untouched. Invoked explicitly via /debt-ops:init (solo users get the same content from the SessionStart inject).

Print a debt-ops health summary from the metrics log, covering registration rate, hook feedback action rate, ADR creation, and AI-authored share. Use when the user asks for "debt-ops metrics", "debt health", "registry stats", or invokes /debt-ops:metrics. Read-only, never writes the log.

Audit the debt registry, rank survivors by churn × Fowler quadrant, surface a top-N list, then walk paydown on user follow-up. Use when the user asks to review debt, see what to pay down, work through entries, or invokes /debt-ops:review. Stale entries drop with `drop A,B,C`.

Trigger immediately whenever you defer work, or when the user asks to log/register tech debt. Over-register freely; the developer drops with "drop A", "drop A,C", or "drop all".

Write or refresh a "Tech debt operations" section in the project's AGENTS.md so the team shares one source of truth for debt-ops disciplines. Run ONLY when the user explicitly asks to set up, install, or initialize debt-ops disciplines — never auto-invoke. Idempotent; only the managed section changes, other sections are untouched.

Audit the tech-debt registry, rank survivors by churn × Fowler quadrant, surface a top-N list, then walk paydown on user follow-up. Use when the user asks to review debt, see what to pay down, work through entries, or check the debt registry. Stale entries drop with "drop A,B,C".
