About this skill
Prioritize technical debt using business impact, risk, maintenance cost, change frequency, dependencies, effort, and delivery sequencing. It applies a structured professional workflow, keeps assumptions visible, and produces implementation-ready guidance with ownership, controls, edge cases, and validation.
What it does
