PR code review that surfaces decay risks, design smells, and maintainability issues with concrete Symptom → Source → Consequence → Remedy findings, drawing on twelve classic engineering books. 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. Also triggers when user mentions: code smells / refactoring / clean architecture / DDD / SOLID…
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
# 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 **Mode line in report:** `PR Review`

How to install
mdr add hyhmrright/brooks-lint/brooks-review@sha256:e98b77fbb618109cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.0cb86a7, 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.
