Understand the review scope, then scan for each decay risk in the order specified (Steps 1–6 of the guide) 2. Run the Quick Test Check (Step 7 of the guide) — skip for docs-only or non-production changes 3. Apply the Iron Law to every finding 4. Output using the Report Template from common.md **Mode line in report:** `PR Review`

Install the "brooks-review" agent skill from https://github.com/hyhmrright/brooks-lint/tree/main/skills/brooks-review. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: PR code review that surfaces decay risks, design smells, and maintainability issues with concrete Symptom → Source → Consequence → Remedy findings, drawing on twelve classic engineering books. Triggers when: user asks to review code, check a PR, shares a diff or pastes code asking "does this look right?" / "any issues here?" / "ready to merge?", or asks for feedback on a function, class, or file. Also triggers when user mentions: code smells / refactoring / clean architecture / DDD / SOLID principles / Hyrum's Law / deep modules / tactical programming / conceptual integrity / Brooks's Law / Mythical Man-Month / second system effect. Do NOT trigger for: questions about how to write code from scratch, language syntax questions, or framework/tool questions where no existing code is shared.

Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes.
