Maintenance orchestrator for the brooks-lint plugin itself. Runs a sequential subagent pipeline — author → eval → QA → trigger-audit → release — to add or edit a skill, refresh the eval suite, keep the four manifests + all README translations + CHANGELOG + AGENTS/GEMINI in sync, audit trigger boundaries, and cut releases. Drives the five agents in .codex/agents/ (skill-author, eval-curator, consistency-qa, trigger-boundary-auditor, release-manager). Triggers when the maintainer asks to work ON…

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 — Maintenance Harness (Orchestrator)

This skill orchestrates work **on the brooks-lint repo itself**. It runs a sequential
subagent pipeline: each stage is a dedicated agent defined in `.codex/agents/`.
Use the available Codex collaboration tools with the matching agent role; inherit
the parent model and permissions. If custom roles are not loaded, pass the role's
`developer_instructions` from its TOML file to a standard subagent. Stages run
sequentially. Every editing agent must preserve other contributors' changes and
own only the files assigned by the orchestrator.

## Pipeline

```
[orchestrator]
   Phase 0  context check
   Phase 1  classify request → select stages
   Phase 2  run selected stages in order, with a QA loop-back:
            skill-author → eval-curator → consistency-qa ─(FAIL)→ back to author
                                              │ PASS
                                              ▼
                            trigger-boundary-auditor   (only if a description changed)
                                              ▼
                                      release-manager  (only if release requested)
   Phase 3  report + collect feedback
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hyhmrright/brooks-lint/brooks-harness@sha256:778a856191fac5e5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.c7fa1b0, 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.
