## What technical-debt-manager does, in the publisher's words

Audits a repository for technical debt, researches best practices for the detected language and framework versions, and files the results as GitHub issues: one ☂️ umbrella tracker plus one sub-issue per finding. Every finding is rated on impact, effort, contagion and business alignment and carries a concrete fix.

The plugin is a portable Agent Plugin with one Agent Skill, so the same package works in Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI and opencode.

Re-runs are incremental: when an open umbrella already exists, the skill reuses it, dedupes new findings against its sub-issues (open and closed), files only new debt, and reports regressions instead of reopening issues.

- git and the GitHub CLI (gh), authenticated for the target repo
- gh 2.94 or newer: the skill links sub-issues with gh issue create --parent and reads them with gh issue view --json subIssues.
