Brooks Lint is a set of code review skills from hyhmrright, licensed MIT, that grade code against twelve classic engineering books such as The Mythical Man-Month, Refactoring and Clean Architecture. The README describes six decay risks for production code and six for tests, and every finding comes back as symptom, source, consequence and remedy with a book citation and a score out of 100. It has six commands: /brooks-review for a diff, /brooks-audit for module dependencies, /brooks-debt for a debt roadmap, /brooks-test for the test suite, /brooks-health for one combined score and /brooks-sweep, which also applies fixes. A .brooks-lint.yaml file sets strictness and ignores paths. Claude Code installs with the two plugin commands above, and an installer script covers more than ten other agents. The README carries a maintainer notice dated 16 October 2026 that only Codex is still tested, so other platforms are not verified now. The benchmark table in the README is labelled illustrative. The repository was last pushed on 12 November 2026. We have not run it ourselves.
