Break your own change before a reviewer does. An adversarial review loop whose subagents try to REFUTE the diff rather than bless it, with a round budget, fixes applied at the class rather than the site, mutation-proved tests, and named exits from a loop that has stopped converging. Use before pushing a branch or opening a PR, while delivering a feature, when a review gate keeps returning findings on the same change, or on any request to review adversarially, attack, break or harden a change.

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

# The adversarial review loop

A loop that converges toward a change nobody can break, run by the person
making the change, *before* anyone else reviews it.

Every rule below was paid for by a wasted round. The measured evidence is in
the appendix, with dates; the numbers come from ~250 logged rounds on Go, TS
and Python repositories.

## What it is, and what it is not

It is **not** a code-review checklist, and not a second opinion. It is a
subagent whose job is to **refute** the change, followed by a verification
pass that judges the subagent as harshly as it judged the code.

Two properties make it work, and dropping either makes it theatre:

- **The posture is adversarial.** An agent asked to "review" reports naming
  conventions. An agent asked to *break* the change reports the failure.
- **The reviewer of the reviewer is you.** Its findings are hypotheses and its
  fixes are worse than its findings (measured: a proposed fix is refuted
  ~2.5× more often than a finding). Nothing it says is applied unverified.

## The vocabulary

| Verb | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `::rva` | **One** adversarial round on a scope. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add socialgouv/iterion/adversarial-review-loop@sha256:465bfed754d6d8ff

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.9a9cd77, 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.
