Brooks-Lint — Tech Debt Assessment

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 — symptom definitions and source attributions
4. debt-guide.md (this directory) — the debt classification framework

Process

Scope: if the user did not describe the codebase or point to specific areas, apply Auto Scope Detection (../_shared/common.md) first.
