# 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... ## 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.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill brooks-sweep --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.
