brooks-lint

brooks-lint is a plugin for Gemini CLI from hyhmrright/brooks-lint. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

An AI code-review tool that checks software for decay risks using ideas from twelve engineering books. It can review pull requests, architecture, technical debt, tests, overall project health, or perform a full sweep with suggested fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review proposed changes, audit an architecture, identify technical debt, assess tests, create a health report, or apply fixes across the codebase.
Why use it?
It helps find maintainability and test-quality problems that may be missed during a normal review. Severity labels and book citations explain why each issue matters.

About the project

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.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Security

Grade A, and why

brooks-lint scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads gemini-extension.json. This mod also ships 23 executable files (scripts/assemble-prompt.mjs, scripts/benchmark.mjs, scripts/bump-version.mjs, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What ships with it

36 files beside gemini-extension.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
