Debt Ledger

Track deferred enforcement violations. When an ASC ladder nudge fires and the shortcut is accepted rather than fixed, log it here for later resolution.

Storage

Entries persist in .agent-context/state/debt-ledger.json via MCP state_read/state_write. The ledger is a JSON array of entry objects.

Entry Format

{
  "id": "sequential integer",
  "file": "path/to/file.ts",
  "ladderStep": "3",
  "violation": "Added axios — stdlib fetch covers this",
  "addedAt": "ISO-8601 timestamp",
  "status": "open | resolved",
  "resolvedAt": "ISO-8601 timestamp or null"
}

Operations

Add Entry

When an enforcement nudge fires and the violation is deferred:

1. Read the current ledger via state_read (path: debt-ledger.json). If missing, start with [].
2. Append a new entry with the next sequential id, the file path, ladder step, and a one-line violation summary.
3. Write the updated ledger via state_write (path: debt-ledger.json, mode: overwrite).
4. Confirm: "Logged to debt ledger: [violation summary]"

List Open Debt

1. Read the ledger via state_read.
2. Filter to entries where status is "open".
3. Display as a table: ID, file, ladder step, violation, age.
4. If no open entries, say so explicitly.

Resolve Entry

When a deferred violation has been addressed:

1. Read the ledger.
2. Set the matching entry's status to "resolved" and resolvedAt to the current timestamp.
3. Write the updated ledger.
4. Confirm: "Resolved debt #[id]: [violation summary]"

Summary

1. Read the ledger.
2. Report: total entries, open count, resolved count, oldest open entry age.

When to Log

Log a debt entry when ALL of these are true:

• The PostToolUse enforcement hook fired a nudge
• The agent acknowledged the nudge but proceeded without fixing the violation
• The violation is deferrable (not a security issue — security violations must be fixed immediately)

Integration

The /asc skill documents the enforcement loop. This ledger captures what enforcement flags but the session defers. Use /asc-debt at session end or before commits to review outstanding shortcuts.
