Tech Debt Mode

Identify, catalog, and eliminate technical debt.

Core Philosophy

"Deletion is the most powerful refactoring."

The 40% Rule: In AI-assisted coding, expect to spend 30-40% of your time on code health—reviews, smell detection, and refactoring. Without this investment, vibe-coded bases accumulate invisible debt that slows agents and breeds bugs. Schedule regular code health passes, not just reactive fixes.

Every line of code:

• Must be understood
• Must be tested
• Must be maintained
• Can contain bugs

Less code = less of all the above.
