Review a technical design / migration AgDR / feature spec for architectural soundness BEFORE the Build phase. Invokes the Solution Architect agent (Tariq) — the non-code analog of /code-review.

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

# /design-review — Solution Architecture Review

Read .claude/rules/writing-standard.md before you write a review.
Use the controlled technical writing profile for the architecture review.
Treat a profile fault in the design artifact as advisory, with the failed
rule named and a clear replacement shown. Request changes only when the
fault changes meaning or drops evidence — that fault is a correctness
finding, not a style nit.
State the verdict and next action first. State evidence after the verdict.

Review a **design artifact** — a technical design doc, a migration AgDR, or a feature spec / PRD — for architectural soundness before any code is built against it. This is the non-code analog of `/code-review`: where Rex reviews a code PR, **Tariq (the Solution Architect)** reviews the design.

The Tech Lead *authors* the design; Tariq *reviews* it. Authoring and reviewing are deliberately separate — an author reviewing their own design is the gap this role closes.

## Activated agent + role

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add me2resh/apexyard/design-review@sha256:9e202eac2274f181

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.37f5689, 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.
