name: team-tech-debt description: Unified team skill for tech debt identification and remediation. Scans codebase for tech debt, assesses severity, plans and executes fixes with validation. Uses team-worker agent architecture with roles/ for domain logic. Coordinator orchestrates pipeline, workers are team-worker agents. Triggers on "team tech debt". allowed-tools: Agent, AskUserQuestion, Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, TaskList, TaskGet, TaskUpdate, TaskCreate, TeamCreate, TeamDelete, SendMessage, mcp__ace-tool__search_context, mcp__ccw-tools__read_file, mcp__ccw-tools__write_file, mcp__ccw-tools__edit_file, mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg

Team Tech Debt

Systematic tech debt governance: scan -> assess -> plan -> fix -> validate. Built on team-worker agent architecture — all worker roles share a single agent definition with role-specific Phase 2-4 loaded from roles/<role>/role.md.

Role Registry

Role	Path	Prefix	Inner Loop
coordinator	roles/coordinator/role.md	—	—
scanner	roles/scanner/role.md	TDSCAN-*	false
assessor	roles/assessor/role.md	TDEVAL-*	false

Role Router

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

• Has --role <name> → Read roles/<name>/role.md, execute Phase 2-4
• No --role → @roles/coordinator/role.md, execute entry router

Shared Constants

• Session prefix: TD
• Session path: .workflow/.team/TD-<slug>-<date>/
• CLI tools: ccw cli --mode analysis (read-only), ccw cli --mode write (modifications)
• Message bus: mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg(session_id=<session-id>, ...)
• Max GC rounds: 3

Worker Spawn Template

Coordinator spawns workers using this template:

Agent({
  subagent_type: "team-worker",
  description: "Spawn <role> worker for <task-id>",
  team_name: "tech-debt",
  name: "<role>",
  run_in_background: true,
  prompt: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
team_name: tech-debt
requirement: <task-description>
inner_loop: <true|false>

## Progress Milestones
session_id: <session-id>
Report progress via team_msg at natural phase boundaries (context loaded -> core work done -> verification).
Report blockers immediately via team_msg type="blocker".
Report completion via team_msg type="task_complete" after final SendMessage.

Read role_spec file (@<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.
Execute built-in Phase 1 (task discovery) -> role Phase 2-4 -> built-in Phase 5 (report).`
})

User Commands

Error Handling

Scenario	Resolution
Unknown command	Error with available command list
Role not found	Error with role registry
Session corruption	Attempt recovery, fallback to manual
Fast-advance conflict	Coordinator reconciles on next callback
Completion action fails	Default to Keep Active
Scanner finds no debt	Report clean codebase, skip to summary
