Detecting and removing design-pattern misuse: abstractions that trace to no requirement, patterns chosen because a name sounded right, and the specific failure each overused pattern produces. Covers the detectable signals — an interface with one implementation, a class per constant, a factory whose products are unrelated, a hub with twelve dependencies, a listener never deregistered, a wrapper stack nobody can read, a getInstance() a test must reset — with the cause, the concrete cost, and the…
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
# Pattern Anti-Patterns ## Purpose Find abstractions that cost more than they return, and remove them safely. Every entry here is a pattern applied correctly in structure and wrongly in judgement — which is why review misses them: each looks like good practice in isolation. The unifying test is the same one that should have been applied before adoption: **what named force does this abstraction resolve, and what would break if it were inlined?** If neither can be answered, it is a candidate for removal (`gof-pattern-thinking`). Start from the requested review scope, available callers/tests, accepted conventions and consumer contracts. Inspect missing intent or runtime wiring before asking a material question; an absent rationale is not proof that no benefit exists. Report supported defects and concrete maintenance costs separately from preferences or hypotheses. No supported findings, or retaining an adequate pattern, is a valid result; a review does not require a rewrite. For a findings-only request, report the correction and its validation without editing the design. When fixes or removal are requested, implement the supported correction within that scope; naming …

How to install
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/gof-pattern-antipatterns@sha256:dd20d71fae64fb15The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.c769bd8, 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.
