brooks-health Combined codebase health dashboard that scores a project across all four quality dimensions — PR quality, architecture, tech debt, and test quality — in a single pass, drawing on twelve classic engineering books. Triggers when: user wants an overall quality assessment, asks "how healthy is this codebase?", "run all the checks", "I need a health score before the release", or wants to onboard a new team with a quality overview. Do NOT trigger for: server health checks, HTTP health endpoints, Kubernetes liveness/readiness probes, database health, or application uptime. Also do not trigger when the user specifically requests only one dimension — use the corresponding focused skill instead (brooks-review / brooks-audit / brooks-debt / brooks-test).

Brooks-Lint — Health Dashboard

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. health-guide.md (this directory) — the dashboard orchestration process

Process

Scope: if the user did not specify a project or directory, apply Auto Scope Detection (../_shared/common.md) first.

  1. Run abbreviated scans across all four dimensions (Step 1 of the guide)
  2. Compute per-dimension and composite Health Scores with weighting (Step 2 of the guide)
  3. Output the Health Dashboard using the dashboard report template (Step 3 of the guide)
