Overview

Honey Debt

Lever 1 trades code for a known ceiling. That trade is only honest if someone can see it later. Every deliberate simplification carries a honey: comment naming its ceiling and the trigger to revisit; this collects them into one ledger.

Scan

grep -rnE '(#|//|--|/\*) ?honey:' . --exclude-dir={node_modules,.git,dist,build,vendor}

Each hit is one row. The comment prefix is what keeps prose that merely mentions the convention out of the ledger.

Output

One row per marker, grouped by file:

<file>:<line> — <what was simplified>. ceiling: <the limit>. trigger: <when to revisit>.

The convention is honey: <ceiling>, <trigger>, so both fields come straight from the comment. Add git blame -L<line>,<line> -- <file> per row only if the user asks who owns it.

Tag any marker with no trigger no-trigger — a ceiling without a revisit condition is the shape that rots. End with:

<N> markers, <M> with no trigger.

Nothing found: No honey: debt. Clean ledger.

Boundaries

  • Report only. Don't fix, refactor, or remove markers — the user decides what to pay down. Offer, don't act.
  • Don't invent debt. A TODO/FIXME is not a honey: marker; mention the count separately at most once if it's large, don't fold it into the ledger.
  • Don't editorialise per row. The ledger is data. Save any judgement for one closing line, and only if something is genuinely alarming.

# Honey Debt

Lever 1 trades code for a known ceiling. That trade is only honest if someone can
see it later. Every deliberate simplification carries a `honey:` comment naming its
ceiling and the trigger to revisit; this collects them into one ledger.

## Scan

```bash
grep -rnE '(#|//|--|/\*) ?honey:' . --exclude-dir={node_modules,.git,dist,build,vendor}
```

Each hit is one row. The comment prefix is what keeps prose that merely mentions the
convention out of the ledger.

## Output

One row per marker, grouped by file:

`<file>:<line> — <what was simplified>. ceiling: <the limit>. trigger: <when to revisit>.`

The convention is `honey: <ceiling>, <trigger>`, so both fields come straight from
the comment. Add `git blame -L<line>,<line> -- <file>` per row only if the user asks
who owns it.

Tag any marker with no trigger `no-trigger` — a ceiling without a revisit condition
is the shape that rots. End with:

`<N> markers, <M> with no trigger.`

Nothing found: `No honey: debt. Clean ledger.`

## Boundaries

- **Report only.** Don't fix, refactor, or remove markers — the user decides what to
  pay down. Offer, don't act.
- **Don't invent debt.** A `TODO`/`FIXME` is not a `honey:` marker; mention the count
  separately at most once if it's large, don't fold it into the ledger.
- **Don't editorialise per row.** The ledger is data. Save any judgement for one
  closing line, and only if something is genuinely alarming.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

  1. 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
  2. 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
  3. 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Agent access

This page exposes the same decision, trust, audit, use-case, and install signals through the Registry API, so agents can rank this skill without scraping the UI.
