# Brooks-Lint — Architecture Audit ## When to Use Use this skill when you need architecture audit that maps module dependencies, checks layering integrity, and flags structural decay across a codebase, drawing on twelve classic engineering books. Triggers when: user asks to audit architecture, review folder/module structure, check for circular imports, understand... ## 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 symptom definitions and source attributions 4. Read `architecture-guide.md` in this directory for the audit framework ## Process **Onboarding mode:** If the user asks for an onboarding report, codebase tour, or "explain this codebase to a new developer", read `onboarding-guide.md` from this directory and follow it instead of `architecture-guide.md`. This mode explains rather than diagnoses — no Health Score, no Iron Law findings. **If the user has not specified files or a directory to audit:** apply Auto Scope Detection from `../_shared/common.md` to determine the audit scope bef

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill brooks-audit --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
