+brew
+----
+``brew`` for Homebrew-based packages:
+
+- There is no default package repository; this should be implied either from
+  the ``namespace`` or using a tap URL via the ``tap_url`` qualifier.
+- The ``namespace``, which is called a "Tap" in Homebrew terminology, defaults to ``homebrew/core``.
+
+  - When the ``tap_url`` qualifier is not specified, the Tap identifier corresponds to the URL
+    ``https://github.com/{org}/homebrew-{tap}``, such as
+    ``https://github.com/homebrew/homebrew-core`` for ``homebrew/core``.
+  - When the ``tap_url`` qualifier is specified, the Tap identifier is the local name of the Tap.
+
+- The ``name`` is the formula name. Formula names that contain ``@`` must be percent-encoded,
+  such as ``postgresql%4012`` for ``postgres@12``.
+- The ``version`` is the formula version.
+- Qualifier ``tap_url``: for taps that are not on GitHub or otherwise require an explicit URL,
+  this is the full ``git`` URL to the tap.
+- Examples::
+
+      pkg:brew/sqlite@3.43.2
+      pkg:brew/postgresql%4012@12.17
+      pkg:brew/homebrew/core/sqlite@3.43.2
+      pkg:brew/some-org/some-tap/some-app@1.2.3
