What's New

Independent Skill Architecture

Each review mode is now a standalone skill with its own directory, replacing the monolithic skills/brooks-lint/:

| Skill | Command | Purpose |
|-------|---------|---------|
| brooks-review | /brooks-review | PR code review |
| brooks-audit | /brooks-audit | Architecture audit |
| brooks-debt | /brooks-debt | Tech debt assessment |
| brooks-test | /brooks-test | Test quality review |

True Short-Form Commands

Commands now register natively as /brooks-review instead of requiring the /brooks-lint:brooks-review namespace prefix. This works on all three platforms:

/brooks-review          # Claude Code / Gemini CLI
$brooks-review          # Codex CLI

Shared Framework

Common elements (Iron Law, Project Config, Report Template, Health Score) are extracted to skills/_shared/common.md, keeping each skill lightweight while avoiding duplication.

New Directory Structure

skills/
├── _shared/             # Iron Law, Config, Report Template, decay risk definitions
├── brooks-review/       # PR Review skill + guide
├── brooks-audit/        # Architecture Audit skill + guide
├── brooks-debt/         # Tech Debt Assessment skill + guide
└── brooks-test/         # Test Quality Review skill + guide

Breaking Changes

  • skills/brooks-lint/ directory no longer exists — manual installs need to copy the entire skills/ directory
  • Old /brooks-lint:brooks-* commands still work but the short form is now the canonical way

Installation

# Claude Code (recommended)
/plugin marketplace add hyhmrright/brooks-lint
/plugin install brooks-lint@brooks-lint-marketplace

# Manual
cp -r skills/ ~/.claude/skills/brooks-lint
