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](roles/assessor/role.md) | TDEVAL- | false | | planner | roles/planner/role.md | TDPLAN- | false | | executor | [roles/executor/role.md](roles/executor/role.md) | TDFIX- | true | | validator | roles/validator/role.md | TDVAL- | 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

| Command | Action | |---------|--------| | check / status | View execution status graph | | resume / continue | Advance to next step | | --mode=scan | Run scan-only pipeline (TDSCAN + TDEVAL) | | --mode=targeted | Run targeted pipeline (TDPLAN + TDFIX + TDVAL) | | --mode=remediate | Run full pipeline (default) | | -y / --yes | Skip confirmations |

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 |
