tech-debt: Security & Code Review for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Audit the codebase for structural improvement opportunities — SOLID/composability, code duplication, and unnecessary layering — using a parallel team of review agents. Ranks the 10 most impactful findings, excludes anything already in the open backlog, and walks the owner through them one at a time with full context; the owner decides per item whether to file it as a GitHub issue. Not tied to any issue; owner-invoked, never automatic.

tech-debt — structural audit → ranked findings → owner files what's worth it

Foreground, standalone: no worktree, no issue coupling, no code edits. A team of review agents reads the whole codebase looking for structural debt, ranks what it finds, and the owner decides — one finding at a time — what's worth turning into real backlog work.

Steps

Establish scope. Default is the whole repo. If the owner (or argument-hint) named a path/module, scope the review to it and say so up front.
Snapshot the existing backlog, once, before spawning anything. The whole point is to never re-surface what's already known:
```
gh issue list --state open --json number,title,url --limit 200
```
Keep this list in context — you'll hand it to every lens agent below so they self-filter, and you'll do a final cross-check yourself before presenting anything to the owner.
Spawn three lens agents in parallel (one Agent tool call each, sent together — not sequential), each subagent_type: general-purpose, model: opus (the strongest available tier — this is a deep, whole-codebase read, not a quick lookup). Give every lens the scope from step 1 and the open-issue list from step 2 verbatim, with the instruction to silently drop any candidate that duplicates an existing open issue's title/body rather than flagging it. Each lens returns its own ranked candidate list — file:line evidence, the concrete problem, and a concrete direction to fix it, never a vague "consider refactoring X":
- SOLID / composability — "Is the codebase built from small, composable components, or from large ones doing several unrelated jobs? Find the worst violations: single-responsibility breaks (a class/module/function doing 2+ unrelated things), dependencies on concretions where an abstraction would decouple two things that shouldn't know about each other, and interfaces wide enough that most callers only use a slice of them. For each, name the smaller pieces it should split into."
- Code duplication — "Find logic duplicated across files/modules that belongs in one shared place — not textually identical-only, but the same behavior re-implemented with minor variations (a strong signal the abstraction was never extracted, or drifted after copy-paste). For each, name where the shared module/function should live and what call sites would move to it."
- Structure / layering — "Find unnecessary indirection: layers that just forward calls to the next layer with no logic of their own, wrapper types/interfaces with exactly one implementation and no test-seam justification, or a module boundary that's crossed so often in both directions it isn't really a boundary. For each, name what should collapse or merge."
Each lens caps itself at its own strongest ~5-8 candidates rather than padding to hit a number — a lens with fewer genuine findings should return fewer.
Merge, dedupe, and rank globally. Collect all three lenses' candidates. Two different lenses sometimes point at the same underlying spot (a god-class is both a SOLID violation and the reason its duplicated logic never got extracted) — merge those into one finding citing both angles rather than presenting it twice. Do your own pass against the step-2 backlog list too (lens-level self-filtering can miss a near-match) — drop anything that's substantially already an open issue. Rank what's left by impact: how much it currently costs (bug surface, onboarding friction, how often it's touched) weighed against how contained the fix is. Keep the top 10 — fewer if fewer genuinely impactful findings survive; never pad the list to reach 10.
Present findings one at a time — full context, owner decides each one before you show the next. Don't dump the ranked list upfront. For each:
```
[3 of 10] <one-line title>
Lens: <SOLID | duplication | structure>
Where: <file:line, file:line, ...>
Problem: <what's actually wrong, concretely>
Direction: <the shape of the fix — not a full design, just where it points>
Impact: <why this one ranked where it did>
```
Ask: file as a GitHub issue, skip, or adjust (owner can narrow/reshape it before it's filed). Never file anything without that per-item confirmation — the owner decides what enters the backlog, this skill only surfaces candidates.

File exactly what the owner accepted, drafted with a distinct ## Direction section (not folded into Notes) — keep it as its own heading, verbatim; some downstream consumer of the filed issue may key off that section being present:

gh issue create --title "<concise title>" --label "<P0|P1|P2|P3>" --label "status:ready" --label "type:tech-debt" \
  --body "## Scope
<what this touches, in/out>

## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] <behavior is unchanged — existing tests still pass unmodified, no public signature/error-contract/CLI/config/serialized-output change>
- [ ] <the structural outcome itself — e.g. 'X and Y are split into single-responsibility units'>

## Direction
<the finding's Direction field, verbatim — the shape of the fix, where it points>

## Notes / context
Lens: <SOLID | duplication | structure>. Where: <file:line, file:line, ...>. Problem: <what's wrong>."

The first acceptance criterion is always the behavior-preservation one, worded plainly — this is the contract the whole fast path rests on, not optional boilerplate. Propose a priority (default P2 — real but not urgent, unless the finding's impact argues otherwise) and confirm before creating.

Log the run, even if nothing got filed. This creates an audit trail a consuming pipeline can use to compute a review cadence later, without guessing:
```
LOG_URL=$(gh issue create --title "Tech debt review — $(date +%Y-%m-%d)" \
  --body "Scope: <repo or path>. Candidates found: <N>. Filed: <issue numbers>. Skipped: <count>." \
  --label "tech-debt-review")
gh issue close "$LOG_URL"
```
gh issue create prints the new issue's URL; gh issue close accepts a URL directly, so no number-parsing needed. Immediately closed — it's an audit-trail marker, not a work item.
Report. List what got filed (numbers + brief descriptions), what got skipped, and confirm the run is logged for cadence tracking.

Rules

Foreground, read-only except for the gh issue create calls in steps 6-7. No worktree, no code edits — this skill finds and files, it never fixes anything itself. A finding worth fixing becomes a normal issue that goes through the repo's own issue pipeline like any other.
Never file anything the owner hasn't individually confirmed. Presenting the full top-10 list and asking for a blanket "file all of these" defeats the point — one at a time, each with room to actually be read before the next one shows up.
Never re-surface an existing open issue. Step 2's snapshot exists specifically so lens agents and your own final pass can filter against it — a finding that's already backlog isn't a finding.
Never invent an automatic schedule for this skill itself. It's owner-invoked, or recommended by whatever pipeline consumes it when its own cadence check says a review is due — recommended, never auto-run.
Never file an issue that also carries (or should carry) type:docs. The two fast paths are mutually exclusive — a finding is either a structural code change or a documentation change, never both from this skill. Filed issues get type:tech-debt and nothing else in that label kind.
Always pair an issue number with a brief (description) — the owner does not track raw numbers.
If the lens agents come back nearly empty (a genuinely clean codebase, or too small a scope), say so plainly rather than manufacturing findings to fill the list — still log the run (step 7) either way.

# tech-debt — structural audit → ranked findings → owner files what's worth it

Foreground, standalone: no worktree, no issue coupling, no code edits. A team of review agents
reads the whole codebase looking for structural debt, ranks what it finds, and the owner decides —
one finding at a time — what's worth turning into real backlog work.

## Steps

1. **Establish scope.** Default is the whole repo. If the owner (or `argument-hint`) named a
path/module, scope the review to it and say so up front.

2. **Snapshot the existing backlog, once, before spawning anything.** The whole point is to never
re-surface what's already known:
```bash
gh issue list --state open --json number,title,url --limit 200
```
Keep this list in context — you'll hand it to every lens agent below so they self-filter, and
you'll do a final cross-check yourself before presenting anything to the owner.

3. **Spawn three lens agents in parallel** (one Agent tool call each, sent together — not
sequential), each `subagent_type: general-purpose`, `model: opus` (the strongest available tier —
this is a deep, whole-codebase read, not a quick lookup). Give every lens the scope from step 1
and the open-issue list from step 2 verbatim, with the instruction to silently drop any candidate
that duplicates an existing open issue's title/body rather than flagging it. Each lens returns
its own ranked candidate list — file:line evidence, the concrete problem, and a concrete direction
to fix it, never a vague "consider refactoring X":

- **SOLID / composability** — "Is the codebase built from small, composable components, or from
large ones doing several unrelated jobs? Find the worst violations: single-responsibility
breaks (a class/module/function doing 2+ unrelated things), dependencies on concretions where
an abstraction would decouple two things that shouldn't know about each other, and interfaces
wide enough that most callers only use a slice of them. For each, name the smaller pieces it
should split into."
- **Code duplication** — "Find logic duplicated across files/modules that belongs in one shared
place — not textually identical-only, but the same *behavior* re-implemented with minor
variations (a strong signal the abstraction was never extracted, or drifted after copy-paste).
For each, name where the shared module/function should live and what call sites would move to
it."
- **Structure / layering** — "Find unnecessary indirection: layers that just forward calls to the
next layer with no logic of their own, wrapper types/interfaces with exactly one
implementation and no test-seam justification, or a module boundary that's crossed so often in
both directions it isn't really a boundary. For each, name what should collapse or merge."

Each lens caps itself at its own strongest ~5-8 candidates rather than padding to hit a number —
a lens with fewer genuine findings should return fewer.

4. **Merge, dedupe, and rank globally.** Collect all three lenses' candidates. Two different lenses
sometimes point at the same underlying spot (a god-class is both a SOLID violation and the reason
its duplicated logic never got extracted) — merge those into one finding citing both angles
rather than presenting it twice. Do your own pass against the step-2 backlog list too (lens-level
self-filtering can miss a near-match) — drop anything that's substantially already an open issue.
Rank what's left by **impact**: how much it currently costs (bug surface, onboarding friction,
how often it's touched) weighed against how contained the fix is. Keep the **top 10** — fewer if
fewer genuinely impactful findings survive; never pad the list to reach 10.

5. **Present findings one at a time — full context, owner decides each one before you show the
next.** Don't dump the ranked list upfront. For each:
```
[3 of 10] <one-line title>
Lens: <SOLID | duplication | structure>
Where: <file:line, file:line, ...>
Problem: <what's actually wrong, concretely>
Direction: <the shape of the fix — not a full design, just where it points>
Impact: <why this one ranked where it did>
```
Ask: file as a GitHub issue, skip, or adjust (owner can narrow/reshape it before it's filed).
**Never file anything without that per-item confirmation** — the owner decides what enters the
backlog, this skill only surfaces candidates.

6. **File exactly what the owner accepted**, drafted with a distinct `## Direction` section (not
folded into Notes) — keep it as its own heading, verbatim; some downstream consumer of the filed
issue may key off that section being present:
```bash
gh issue create --title "<concise title>" --label "<P0|P1|P2|P3>" --label "status:ready" --label "type:tech-debt" \
--body "## Scope
<what this touches, in/out>

## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] <behavior is unchanged — existing tests still pass unmodified, no public signature/error-contract/CLI/config/serialized-output change>
- [ ] <the structural outcome itself — e.g. 'X and Y are split into single-responsibility units'>

## Direction
<the finding's Direction field, verbatim — the shape of the fix, where it points>

## Notes / context
Lens: <SOLID | duplication | structure>. Where: <file:line, file:line, ...>. Problem: <what's wrong>."
```
The first acceptance criterion is always the behavior-preservation one, worded plainly — this is
the contract the whole fast path rests on, not optional boilerplate. Propose a priority (default
**P2** — real but not urgent, unless the finding's impact argues otherwise) and confirm before
creating.

7. **Log the run, even if nothing got filed.** This creates an audit trail a consuming pipeline can
use to compute a review cadence later, without guessing:
```bash
LOG_URL=$(gh issue create --title "Tech debt review — $(date +%Y-%m-%d)" \
--body "Scope: <repo or path>. Candidates found: <N>. Filed: <issue numbers>. Skipped: <count>." \
--label "tech-debt-review")
gh issue close "$LOG_URL"
```
`gh issue create` prints the new issue's URL; `gh issue close` accepts a URL directly, so no
number-parsing needed.
Immediately closed — it's an audit-trail marker, not a work item.

8. **Report.** List what got filed (numbers + brief descriptions), what got skipped, and confirm
the run is logged for cadence tracking.

## Rules

- **Foreground, read-only except for the `gh issue create` calls in steps 6-7.** No worktree, no
code edits — this skill finds and files, it never fixes anything itself. A finding worth fixing
becomes a normal issue that goes through the repo's own issue pipeline like any other.
- **Never file anything the owner hasn't individually confirmed.** Presenting the full top-10 list
and asking for a blanket "file all of these" defeats the point — one at a time, each with room to
actually be read before the next one shows up.
- **Never re-surface an existing open issue.** Step 2's snapshot exists specifically so lens agents
and your own final pass can filter against it — a finding that's already backlog isn't a finding.
- **Never invent an automatic schedule for this skill itself.** It's owner-invoked, or recommended
by whatever pipeline consumes it when its own cadence check says a review is due — recommended,
never auto-run.
- **Never file an issue that also carries (or should carry) `type:docs`.** The two fast paths are
mutually exclusive — a finding is either a structural code change or a documentation change, never
both from this skill. Filed issues get `type:tech-debt` and nothing else in that label kind.
- Always pair an issue number with a brief `(description)` — the owner does not track raw numbers.
- If the lens agents come back nearly empty (a genuinely clean codebase, or too small a scope), say
so plainly rather than manufacturing findings to fill the list — still log the run (step 7) either
way.
