DebtDrone
Autonomous technical debt hunting with AI-generated PRs
DebtDrone autonomously scans your repositories across GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps to find technical debt — then prioritizes it by real business and engineering impact, not just linter noise. Instead of adding another item to a backlog nobody triages, DebtDrone opens AI-generated pull requests to fix the highest-impact issues directly. Built for engineering teams who'd rather review a PR than manage a debt spreadsheet.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built DebtDrone because every engineering team I've worked with had the same problem: technical debt everyone agrees is a priority, and nobody has time to actually fix.
DebtDrone scans your repos, ranks debt by what's actually slowing your team down, and opens AI-generated PRs to fix the highest-impact stuff — so instead of adding to a backlog, you just review and merge.
It's live now at debtdrone.net. Would genuinely love your feedback — especially if you try it on a real repo and something feels off. I'll be in the comments all day.
Love the PR-first approach, way more actionable than yet another dashboard. One thing that would make this even better for my team: let us scope the scans with a config file in the repo so we can exclude legacy directories or files under active refactor, otherwise the AI ends up opening PRs in spots we've intentionally parked.
Tried it on a side repo and it actually opened a sensible PR instead of just listing 200 lint warnings. The impact scoring feels tuned by someone who's been on call.
Love that it opens PRs instead of just dumping a backlog. One thing I'd want: a way to pause or blacklist certain files or folders before a scan runs, so it doesn't touch generated code, lockfiles, or vendor directories we never want touched. Would save a lot of churn on first run.
One thing that would make this really useful for my team — let DebtDrone open draft PRs by default and only promote them to ready-for-review once CI passes, so we're not reviewing fixes that break the build in the first place.
The GitHub integration picked up real issues from my repos right away, and I loved that it skipped the trivial linter complaints. Opening a fix PR instead of just flagging the debt is a genuinely smart move.
This is genuinely cool, the auto-PR angle is way more useful than yet another dashboard. One thing though, it would help a lot if you could scope the analysis per service or directory instead of the whole repo. Big monorepos have totally different risk profiles per team and a single ranked list ends up being kind of useless for everyone except the platform crew.
the auto-PR idea is genuinely cool but i'd love to see a way to scope it to a specific folder or service, kind of like how dependabot lets you group updates. otherwise fixing debt in a legacy monolith vs the new microservice would feel very different in risk
The auto-PR approach is genuinely clever, prioritizing by impact instead of just flagging everything saves a lot of triage fatigue.
