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 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` — production risk symptoms
4. `../_shared/test-decay-risks.md` — test risk symptoms
5. `sweep-guide.md` (this directory) — the unified scan and fix process
## Process
**Scope:** if the user did not specify a project or directory, apply Auto Scope Detection
(`../_shared/common.md`) first.
1. Show the pre-flight consent notice and wait for one-time approval (Step 0 of the guide)
2. Enumerate scope and initialize pipeline state (Step 1 of the guide)
3. Run the four dimensions in sequence — review, test, debt, audit — each scanning, classifying, fixing, and verifying (Steps 2–5 of the guide)
4. Iterate over modified files and their consumers until a clean round or the cap (Step 6 of the guide)
5. Aggregate residual and unresolvable items and output the Full Sweep Report (Steps 7–8 of the guide)
**Mode line in report:** `Full Sweep`
