Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# CLAUDE.md

Guidance for Claude Code when modifying this repository. For repo layout, install steps, and user-facing usage, see `README.md` — this file covers only what's needed to safely *change* the repo.

## What This Repo Is

**brooks-lint** is a Claude Code Plugin for code-quality diagnosis grounded in twelve classic software engineering books. Six independent skills under `skills/` (PR Review, Architecture Audit, Tech Debt, Test Quality, Health Dashboard, Full Sweep) each produce findings in the Iron Law form: **Symptom → Source → Consequence → Remedy**.

## Harness: brooks-lint maintenance

**Goal:** drive changes *to brooks-lint itself* through a verified pipeline so manifests, evals, docs, and trigger boundaries never drift.

**Trigger:** when working ON the plugin — add/edit a skill or guide, refresh the eval suite, fix trigger descriptions, or cut a release — use the `brooks-harness` skill. It runs a sequential subagent pipeline (`.claude/agents/`): **skill-author → eval-curator → consistency-qa → trigger-boundary-auditor → release-manager**. Simple questions, or *using* the analysis skills on some target codebase, do not trigger it.

**Change history:**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hyhmrright/brooks-lint/CLAUDE.md@sha256:09ba64231860d2dd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.7a7cde2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
