This repository is a Claude Code plugin marketplace. In Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add hyhmrright/brooks-lint
/plugin install brooks-lint@brooks-lint-marketplace

In the Claude apps, zip the brooks-audit folder and upload it under Customize > Skills > + > Upload a skill (code execution must be on).

ChatGPT / Codex

Codex reads skills from .agents/skills/ in a repo or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hyhmrright/brooks-lint.git
cp -r brooks-lint/skills/brooks-audit .agents/skills/brooks-audit   # repo; ~/.agents/skills for all projects

Standalone skills also load in the ChatGPT desktop app.

Cursor

Cursor loads skills from .cursor/skills/ (or ~/.cursor/skills/) and also reads .claude/skills/:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hyhmrright/brooks-lint.git
cp -r brooks-lint/skills/brooks-audit .cursor/skills/brooks-audit   # project; ~/.cursor/skills for all projects

What this skill does

Architecture audit that maps module dependencies, checks layering integrity, and flags structural decay across a codebase, drawing on twelve classic engineering books. Triggers when: user asks to audit architecture, review folder/module structure, check for circular imports, understand how the codebase is organized, or asks "does this follow clean architecture?" or "why does everything depend on everything?".

When it triggers

  • Triggers when: user asks to audit architecture, review folder/module structure, check for circular imports, understand how the codebase is organized, or asks "does this follow clean architecture?" or "why does everything depend on everythin
  • triggers for onboarding requests: "explain this codebase to a new developer" or "give me a codebase tour" (use onboarding mode).
  • trigger for: PR-level code review (use brooks-review) or line-level refactoring questions — this skill analyzes structural/module-level concerns, not individual functions.
  • "does this follow clean architecture?"
  • "why does everything depend on everything?"
  • "explain this codebase to a new developer"
  • "give me a codebase tour"
