Honey Debt

Organization

Green-PT

honey-debt

Harvest every `shortcut:` comment (and legacy `honey:` ones) in the codebase into a debt ledger, so the deliberate shortcuts Lever 1 leaves behind get tracked instead of rotting into "later means never". Flags markers with no revisit trigger — those are the ones that go permanent silently. Use when the user says "honey debt", "/honey-debt", "what did honey defer", "list the shortcuts", or "what did we mark to do later". One-shot report; changes nothing.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by Green-PT on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Honey Debt AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/Green-PT/honey-for-devs/tree/main/plugins/honey/skills/honey-debt
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Green-PT/honey-for-devs.git /tmp/honey-for-devs
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/honey-for-devs/plugins/honey/skills/honey-debt .claude/skills/honey-debt

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Honey Debt in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Honey Debt on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Honey Debt is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Honey Debt

Lever 1 trades code for a known ceiling. That trade is only honest if someone can see it later. Every deliberate simplification carries a shortcut: comment naming its ceiling and the trigger to revisit; this collects them into one ledger. Older code may carry the previous honey: prefix — same convention, harvest both.

Scan

bash
P='(#|//|--|/\*) ?(shortcut|honey):'
if git rev-parse --git-dir >/dev/null 2>&1; then git grep --untracked -nE "$P"
else grep -rnE "$P" . --exclude-dir={node_modules,.git,dist,build,vendor}; fi

Each hit is one row. git grep skips everything gitignored. The comment prefix is what keeps prose that merely mentions the convention out of the ledger.

Output

One row per marker, grouped by file:

<file>:<line> — <what was simplified>. ceiling: <the limit>. trigger: <when to revisit>.

The convention is shortcut: <ceiling>, <trigger>, so both fields come straight from the comment. Add git blame -L<line>,<line> -- <file> per row only if the user asks who owns it.

Tag any marker with no trigger no-trigger — a ceiling without a revisit condition is the shape that rots. End with:

<N> markers, <M> with no trigger.

Nothing found: No shortcut debt. Clean ledger.

Boundaries

Report only. Don't fix, refactor, or remove markers — the user decides what to pay down. Offer, don't act.
Don't invent debt. A TODO/FIXME is not a shortcut: marker; mention the count separately at most once if it's large, don't fold it into the ledger.
Don't editorialise per row. The ledger is data. Save any judgement for one closing line, and only if something is genuinely alarming.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Honey Debt AI skill do?

Why use Honey Debt on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Honey Debt is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Honey Debt in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Green-PT/honey-for-devs/tree/main/plugins/honey/skills/honey-debt. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Honey Debt?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Honey Debt?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Honey Debt with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Honey Debt AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Green-PT under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
