Log each recurring issue
Add one row per issue you keep re-prompting an AI coding assistant to fix or work around, and how many times you have re-prompted it.

Prompt Debt
List the issues you keep re-prompting an AI coding assistant to work around, and how many times you've had to re-prompt each one. The tool flags your highest-debt areas and classifies likely root causes — so you fix the underlying code instead of prompting around it again next time.
- Updates live — no submit button
- Rules-based keyword classification, not AI-generated text
- All input stays in your browser

How it works
Rules-based classification flags root causes
Each issue is matched against keyword patterns for common root causes — missing architecture/abstraction, inconsistent conventions, missing tests, unclear requirements, or state/data management — and given a debt tier based on re-prompt count.
See your highest-debt areas first
A verdict, category breakdown, and top debt areas show where re-prompting has become a workaround for an underlying code problem, so you know what to actually fix.

Frequently asked questions
Does this read my actual prompts or chat history?
No — this tool only classifies the issue descriptions and re-prompt counts you type in yourself. It runs entirely in your browser and does not connect to any AI assistant or chat log.
How does the root-cause classification work?
It is a transparent keyword match — words like "duplicate" or "structure" flag a missing-architecture pattern, "test" or "crash" flag missing tests/validation, and so on. There is no AI model involved, so it is fast but not infallible.
What counts as "high debt"?
An issue re-prompted 5 or more times is flagged high-debt; 2-4 times is medium. The overall verdict also considers how many high-debt issues you have and the average re-prompts across all logged issues.
What should I do with a high-debt category?
Treat it as a signal to fix the underlying code once — for example extracting a shared validation helper — instead of re-prompting the same workaround again next time the pattern shows up.
My issue was classified as "Uncategorized" — why?
The keyword match did not find a strong signal for any category. It still counts toward your totals and appears in the top debt areas if re-prompted often; try adding more specific wording if you want a category match.

GitHub Copilot and Cursor generate and edit code, but neither surfaces a pattern in what you keep re-prompting them to fix. MVPHub turns your own log of repeated re-prompts into a structured signal for where to fix the underlying code.
