Overview
Tech debt is one of the most insidious challenges in software development - it compounds over time, slowing down development velocity, increasing maintenance costs, and reducing code quality. This skill provides a comprehensive framework for identifying, analyzing, prioritizing, and tracking technical debt across codebases.
Tech debt isn't just about messy code - it encompasses architectural shortcuts, missing tests, outdated dependencies, documentation gaps, and infrastructure compromises. Like financial debt, it accrues "interest" through increased development time, higher bug rates, and reduced team velocity.
