| name | brooks-sweep |
| description | Full-sweep mode: runs a unified analysis across all quality dimensions — code decay, architecture, tech debt, and test quality — then applies fixes directly to the codebase. Safe changes are auto-applied; risky changes are confirmed before execution. Drawing on twelve classic engineering books. Triggers when: user wants to "fix everything", "sweep the codebase", "auto-fix all issues", "clean up the whole project", or asks for a single command that both diagnoses and remediates quality problems. Do NOT trigger for: read-only audits or health reports where the user only wants findings without code changes; single-dimension reviews (use the focused skill instead: brooks-review / brooks-audit / brooks-debt / brooks-test); server health checks, HTTP /health endpoints, Kubernetes probes, database health, or application uptime.

Brooks-Lint — Full Sweep & Auto-Fix
Setup
- Read
../_shared/common.md for the Iron Law, Project Config, Report Template, and Health Score rules
- Read
../_shared/source-coverage.md for book-level coverage, exceptions, and tradeoffs
- Read
../_shared/decay-risks.md for production risk symptom definitions
- Read
../_shared/test-decay-risks.md for test risk symptom definitions
- Read
sweep-guide.md in this directory for the unified scan and fix process
Process
If the user has not specified a project or directory: apply Auto Scope Detection
from ../_shared/common.md to determine the review scope before proceeding.
- Show pre-flight consent notice and wait for the user's one-time approval (Step 0 of the guide)
- Enumerate scope and initialize the
unresolvable / non_critical_rounds / fix_log state (Step 1 of the guide)
- Run the four dimensions in sequence — review, test, debt, audit — each scanning, classifying, applying Safe + Extended-Safe fixes, and verifying via the project test command (Steps 2–5 of the guide)
- Iterate: re-scan modified files + same-module + static consumers; converge on a clean round, retire 3-retry failures to the
unresolvable set, cap non-critical rounds at 3 (Step 6 of the guide)
- Aggregate residual and unresolvable items and output the Full Sweep Report (Steps 7–8 of the guide)
Mode line in report: Full Sweep
