Evidence-based review of pull requests, branch comparisons, working-tree changes, or selected code across risk, repository standards, and originating requirements. Use when asked to review code, a PR, changes since a fixed point, or to coordinate an explicitly authorized review → repair → verify loop. Defaults to read-only.
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
# Code Review
Challenge the implementation, not just the absence of obvious bugs. Produce a useful,
revision-bound review without requiring a particular host, agent runtime, or model.
## Route once
Read the shared core and exactly one playbook before reviewing:
| Priority | Load when | Reference |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 — Required | Every review | [Review core](references/review-core.md) |
| 1 — Required branch | PR, branch comparison, or changes since a fixed point | [Comparison review](playbooks/comparison.md) |
| 1 — Required branch | Working-tree changes, selected files, or a snippet | [Local review](playbooks/local.md) |
| 1 — Replaces read-only branch | User explicitly authorizes review, bounded repair, and verification | [Full loop](playbooks/full-loop.md) |
| 2 — High | Browser UI or its backing APIs, auth, rendering, caching, or persistence changes | [Frontend/full-stack risks](references/frontend-risk-checks.md) |
| 3 — Conditional | Rationale, source provenance, or updating this workflow | [Sources and adaptations](references/sources.md) |
If a PR/branch also has local edits, keep them separate unless the user explicitly includes

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.c86455e, 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.
A 17 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
