Brooks-Lint — Full Sweep & Auto-Fix

When to Use

Use this skill when you need full-sweep mode: runs a unified analysis across all quality dimensions — code decay, architecture, tech debt, and test quality — then applies fixes directly to the codebase. Safe changes are auto-applied; risky changes are confirmed before execution. Drawing on twelve classic...

Supporting material availability

The four ../_shared files named below are not bundled in this catalog tree. They define the risk taxonomy/config/scoring contract; do not invent their contents or claim a full Brooks sweep without them. Obtain and review matching upstream material for that mode, or perform a clearly scoped ordinary source review using the inline guide and report the unavailable dimensions. A health score is unavailable without a defined validated rubric.

Setup

1. Read ../_shared/common.md for the Iron Law, Project Config, Report Template, and Health Score rules
2. Read ../_shared/source-coverage.md for book-level coverage, exceptions, and tradeoffs
3. Read ../_shared/decay-risks.md for production risk symptom definitions
4. Read ../_shared/test-decay-risks.md for test risk symptom definitions
5. Read sweep-guide.md in this directory for the unified scan and fix process

Process

If the user has not specified a project or directory: apply Auto Scope Detection from ../_shared/common.md to determine the review scope before proceeding.

1. Show pre-flight consent notice and wait for the user's one-time approval (Step 0 of the guide)
2. Enumerate scope and initialize the unresolvable / non_critical_rounds / fix_log state (Step 1 of the guide)
3. Run the four dimensions in sequence — review, test, debt, audit — each scanning, classifying, applying Safe + Extended-Safe fixes, and verifying via the project test command (Steps 2–5 of the guide)
4. Iterate: re-scan modified files + same-module + static consumers; converge on a clean round, retire 3-retry failures to the unresolvable set, cap non-critical rounds at 3 (Step 6 of the guide)
5. Aggregate residual and unresolvable items and output the Full Sweep Report (Steps 7–8 of the guide)

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
• Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
• Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
