Tech Debt Finder
Identify duplicated code, inconsistent patterns, and refactoring opportunities.
When to Use
- "Find duplicate code"
- "What needs refactoring?"
- "Are there inconsistent patterns?"
- Code review prep
- Pre-refactor analysis
Detection Process
- Scan - Grep for common debt indicators
- Cluster - Group similar issues
- Prioritize - Rank by frequency × impact
- Report - Show findings with locations
Quick Patterns
| Debt Type | Detection Method | | ------------------- | ------------------------------ | | Duplicated code | Hash-compare function bodies | | Similar-but-diff | Fuzzy match on structure | | Inconsistent naming | Regex for mixed conventions | | Dead code | Unreferenced exports/functions | | TODO/FIXME | Grep for comment markers | | Magic numbers | Literals outside const/config | | Long functions | Line count > threshold | | Deep nesting | Indentation level analysis |
Output Format
## Technical Debt Report
### High Priority (fix soon)
- [DUPLICATE] src/utils/format.ts:23 ↔ src/helpers/fmt.ts:45
Similar: 87% | Impact: High (called 12 places)
### Medium Priority (plan for)
- [INCONSISTENT] Mixed naming: getUserData vs fetch_user
Files: api.ts, service.ts, handler.ts
### Low Priority (track)
- [TODO] 23 TODO comments, oldest: 2023-01-15
