Triggers when: user asks to review code, check a PR, shares a diff or pastes code asking "does this look right?" / "any issues here?" / "ready to merge?", or asks for feedback on a function, class, or file.

SKILL.md

Brooks-Lint — PR Review

Setup

Read in order:

  1. ../_shared/common.md — Iron Law, Project Config, Report Template, Health Score
  2. ../_shared/source-coverage.md — book coverage, exceptions, tradeoffs
  3. ../_shared/decay-risks.md — symptom definitions and source attributions
  4. pr-review-guide.md (this directory) — the analysis process

Process

Scope: if the user did not specify files or paste code, apply Auto Scope Detection (../_shared/common.md) first.

  1. Understand the review scope, then scan for each decay risk in the order specified (Steps 1–6 of the guide)
  2. Run the Quick Test Check (Step 7 of the guide) — skip for docs-only or non-production changes
  3. Apply the Iron Law to every finding
  4. Output using the Report Template from common.md
