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
# AGENTS.md This repository is an AI-powered code quality tool grounded in twelve classic engineering books (e.g., *The Mythical Man-Month*, *Code Complete*, *A Philosophy of Software Design*, *Software Engineering at Google*). ## Core Purpose **brooks-lint** is a portable Agent-Skills code quality tool — it runs on any Agent-Skills-compatible agent (Codex CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, Antigravity, pi, and others that read `AGENTS.md` and load `SKILL.md` skills) to diagnose code quality across twelve "decay risk" dimensions: six in production code (R1 Cognitive Overload, R2 Change Propagation, R3 Knowledge Duplication, R4 Accidental Complexity, R5 Dependency Disorder, R6 Domain Model Distortion) and six in the test suite (T1 Test Obscurity, T2 Test Brittleness, T3 Test Duplication, T4 Mock Abuse, T5 Coverage Illusion, T6 Architecture Mismatch). ## Skill Integration - **Auto-trigger:** You **must** proactively use the appropriate skill whenever discussing code quality, PR reviews, architecture health, test quality, or technical debt. …

How to install
mdr add hyhmrright/brooks-lint/AGENTS.md@sha256:6dc0ea5a1f80e31dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.672ec0f, 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.
