name: brooks-sweep
description: >
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 engineering books.
Triggers when: user wants to "fix everything", "sweep the codebase", "auto-fix all
issues", "clean up the whole project", or asks for a single command that both
diagnoses and remediates quality problems.
Do NOT trigger for: read-only audits or health reports where the user only wants
findings without code changes; single-dimension reviews (use the focused skill
instead: brooks-review / brooks-audit / brooks-debt / brooks-test); server health
checks, HTTP /health endpoints, Kubernetes probes, database health, or application uptime.

# Brooks-Lint — Full Sweep & Auto-Fix
## Setup
- 1. Read `../_shared/common.md` for the Iron Law, Project Config, Report Template, and Health Score rules
- 2. Read `../_shared/source-coverage.md` for book-level coverage, exceptions, and tradeoffs
- 3. Read `../_shared/decay-risks.md` for production risk symptom definitions
- 4. Read `../_shared/test-decay-risks.md` for test risk symptom definitions
- 5. Read `sweep-guide.md` in this directory for the unified scan and fix process
+ 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` — production risk symptoms
+ 4. `../_shared/test-decay-risks.md` — test risk symptoms
+ 5. `sweep-guide.md` (this directory) — 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.
+ **Scope:** if the user did not specify a project or directory, apply Auto Scope Detection
+ (`../_shared/common.md`) first.
- 1. Show pre-flight consent notice and wait for the user's one-time approval (Step 0 of the guide)
- 2. Enumerate scope and initialize the `unresolvable` / `non_critical_rounds` / `fix_log` state (Step 1 of the guide)
- 3. 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)
- 4. 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)
+ 1. Show the pre-flight consent notice and wait for one-time approval (Step 0 of the guide)
+ 2. Enumerate scope and initialize pipeline state (Step 1 of the guide)
+ 3. Run the four dimensions in sequence — review, test, debt, audit — each scanning, classifying, fixing, and verifying (Steps 2–5 of the guide)
+ 4. Iterate over modified files and their consumers until a clean round or the cap (Step 6 of the guide)
5. Aggregate residual and unresolvable items and output the Full Sweep Report (Steps 7–8 of the guide)
**Mode line in report:** `Full Sweep`
