Budget-capped adversarial review + simplification pass over a STAGED DIFF only — one agent, two lenses, findings-first. Use for commit-gate reviews instead of dispatching separate whole-repo reviewer and simplifier agents; the caller declares what already ran (tests, lint, gates) and the reviewer verifies claims against the diff's one-hop neighborhood, never the whole tree.
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
# Diff Review — precise, budget-capped, two lenses in one pass > Why this skill exists: two generic review agents (go-reviewer + code-simplifier) > spent 197k + 136k tokens and 97 + 58 tool calls reviewing ONE staged diff > (2026-07-27). The measured waste had four parts: > > - a second derivation of the repo context that the caller already had; > - a second run of the test suites that the caller already ran; > - unbounded whole-tree consumer sweeps; > - two separate contexts that each loaded the same diff. > > This skill keeps the review QUALITY disciplines (evidence-first, adversarial, > file:line findings) and deletes the waste structurally. ## Scope contract (RIGID) The unit of review is the STAGED DIFF: `git diff --cached`. Nothing else is in scope unless a hunk drags it in. The caller's prompt MUST declare, and you MUST trust without re-running: - **Already verified**: which test suites/lints/gates ran and their results. Re-running any of them is budget theft — CI re-proves them anyway. - **Intent**: what the change is supposed to do, in 1-3 sentences. - **Known constraints**: pinned contracts, protected surfaces, prior review findings already applied. …

How to install
mdr add mickeyyaya/evolve-loop/diff-review@sha256:6505481b117f3ac7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.f0f1a5a, 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.
