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

Read ../_shared/common.md for the Iron Law, Project Config, Report Template, and Health Score rules
Read ../_shared/source-coverage.md for book-level coverage, exceptions, and tradeoffs
Read ../_shared/decay-risks.md for production risk symptom definitions
Read ../_shared/test-decay-risks.md for test risk symptom definitions
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.

Show pre-flight consent notice and wait for the user's one-time approval (Step 0 of the guide)
Enumerate scope and initialize the unresolvable / non_critical_rounds / fix_log state (Step 1 of the guide)
Run the four dimensions in sequence — review, test, debt, audit — each scanning, classifying, applying Safe + Extended-Safe fixes, and verifying via the project test command (Steps 2–5 of the guide)
Iterate: re-scan modified files + same-module + static consumers; converge on a clean round, retire 3-retry failures to the unresolvable set, cap non-critical rounds at 3 (Step 6 of the guide)
Aggregate residual and unresolvable items and output the Full Sweep Report (Steps 7–8 of the guide)

Mode line in report: Full Sweep

Limitations

Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
