What it does
Brooks Review is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. 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.
Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `pr-review-guide.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Code review. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Code review
Example prompts
- “/brooks-review”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 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 symptom definitions and source attributions
- Read pr-review-guide.md in this directory for the analysis process
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Brooks Review loads about 591 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

When to Use
Use this skill when you need 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...
Setup
- Read
../_shared/common.mdfor the Iron Law, Project Config, Report Template, and Health Score rules - Read
../_shared/source-coverage.mdfor book-level coverage, exceptions, and tradeoffs - Read
../_shared/decay-risks.mdfor symptom definitions and source attributions - Read
pr-review-guide.mdin this directory for the analysis process
Process
If the user has not specified files or pasted code: apply Auto Scope Detection
from ../_shared/common.md to determine the review scope before proceeding.
- Understand the review scope, then scan for each decay risk in the order specified (Steps 1–6 of the guide)
- Run the Quick Test Check (Step 7 of the guide) — skip for docs-only or non-production changes
- Apply the Iron Law to every finding
- Output using the Report Template from common.md
Mode line in report: PR Review
Example
User request:
Use @brooks-review for this task: 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.
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
- Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
- Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
