Brooks-Lint – AI code reviews grounded in 12 classic engineering books

Brooks-Lint is an AI code review tool that evaluates pull requests against principles from 12 classic engineering books, such as *The Mythical Man-Month* and *Clean Code*, to catch structural and maintainability issues that functional correctness alone misses. It’s designed for engineering managers and senior developers who want to enforce architectural best practices and prevent the kind of “atrocious directory structure” that can arise from AI-generated code. The project is interesting because it addresses a growing gap—AI tools can produce working code, but they often lack the deep design wisdom that experienced engineers learn from decades of software engineering literature.
