File Tech Debt
File a new tech-debt GitHub issue for an out-of-scope code-review finding, building the dedup key, checking for an existing open or declined-closed match, and only if none exists, creating the issue with the right labels and touching the debt-count staleness sentinel. Trigger on natural-language asks like "file a tech-debt issue", "record this as tech-debt", "open a tech-debt issue for this out-of-scope finding", or "file this finding as debt". Do NOT trigger on draining, fixing, listing, or prioritizing existing debt (that's `/gaia-debt`), nor on general "clean up the code" or "fix this bug" asks that aren't about filing a new tracked issue.

From the source SKILL.md
This skill is the single source of truth for turning one out-of-scope finding (a real problem spotted while reviewing something else, and therefore not fixed in place) into a durable, deduplicated GitHub issue. It covers building the key, checking for a prior match, filing when there is none, and nudging the debt-count display to refresh. It does not decide which findings are out-of-scope, does not classify security-sensitivity, and does not fix anything, it only files.
What this skill does
File Tech Debt is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the code-quality sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/file-tech-debt/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The File Tech Debt Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 154,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
