npx claudepluginhub hyhmrright/brooks-lint --plugin brooks-lintIdentifies, categorizes, and prioritizes technical debt across code, architecture, tests, dependencies, docs, and infrastructure. Scores by impact, risk, effort; outputs remediation plans.
Measure, prioritize, and address technical debt. Classify debt by impact and effort. Build paydown roadmap. Use when evaluating system health or planning refactoring.
Systematically identify, classify, and prioritize technical debt in codebases using SQALE model and Fowler's quadrant. Guides static analysis, debt register creation, and ROI-based remediation.
