Reviews naming quality and code obviousness via the isolation test, scope-length principle, and consistency audit. Use when names feel vague, something is hard to name (a design signal, not a vocabulary problem), or behavior isn't obvious on first read. Not for comment quality or documentation (use comments-docs).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Naming & Obviousness Review Lens When invoked with $ARGUMENTS, focus the analysis on the specified file or module. Read the target code first, then apply the checks below. Names are arguably the most important form of abstraction because a name claims what matters most about an entity. Because names appear at extreme frequency, mediocre names produce systemic complexity that no single example would suggest. ## When to Apply - Reviewing any code for readability and clarity - When a variable, method, or class name feels wrong - When code requires reading the implementation to understand the interface ## Core Principles ### The Isolation Test Read a name without surrounding context. Does it convey what the entity is? - **Pass:** `byteCount`, `retryDelayMs`, `userAuthToken` - **Fail:** `data`, `x`, `process`, `handle`, `item` - **Context-dependent:** `result` is acceptable for a method's return value but problematic at wider scope ### Precision: The Most Common Failure Generic names create false mental models because the reader's first assumption goes wrong and the name protects that wrong assumption from being questioned. …

How to install
mdr add codybrom/clairvoyance/naming-obviousness@sha256:8c9bb53d07221730The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260722.fcfda01, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
