+# 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
+
+```json
+{
+  "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.
