AI code reviews grounded in 12 classic engineering books — decay risk diagnostics with book citations, severity labels, and 6 analysis modes including full-sweep auto-fix
brooks-lint is an AI code-review project that examines software for six kinds of long-term code decay using ideas from twelve classic engineering books. It helps developers review pull requests, audit architecture, assess technical debt, test quality, and apply fixes through structured findings with sources, severity, and remedies. Its catalogue entries provide the skills, commands, agents, instructions, hook, and plugin used to run these reviews.
