Review a code change rigorously — a PR, branch, commit range, or the working tree. Confirm the problem is real, sketch the obvious solutions before reading the diff, then audit it for correctness, completeness, architecture, conventions, security, privacy, testing, reversibility, and dependencies, judge whether it is right-sized, and verify every significant finding independently. Returns a six-signal report: done well, gaps, issues rated Critical to Low with a separate confidence verdict…

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

# Examine: production-risk-first code review

Find what would actually break in production, verify the change's claims instead of trusting
them, and judge whether the solution is right-sized. The host's built-in review asks "does
this introduce a bug?"; `/examine` asks "is this the right, production-safe, right-sized
change?" Skip it for typo and doc-only changes.

## Required references

This file is the skeleton; each reference holds a step's full rules. Read it **at that step**.

| File | Read at | Holds |
|---|---|---|
| `references/audit.md` | step 5 | axes 5a–5m, the Occam pass |
| `references/verify.md` | step 7 | dedup, CONFIRMED / PLAUSIBLE / REFUTED rubric, gap sweep |
| `references/report.md` | step 8 | signals, severities, locators, template, definition of done |
| `references/rationalizations.md` | when tempted to skip a step | why each shortcut fails |

## Principles

- **Trust nothing, verify everything.** The description, the diff, and green tests are
  claims — so are your own candidates, which become findings only after step 7.
- **Project rules over generic best practice.** Read the rulebook before judging; cite it
  per finding.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add korya/askl/examine@sha256:c6a47be85b25b6c3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.1f9ccb7, 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.
