Reviews code changes with a risk-ordered checklist and finds what a diff touches. Use whenever the user asks to review a pull request, diff, commit or file, wants feedback on their code, asks "is this safe to merge", or wants a self-review before opening a PR, even if they only paste code and say "thoughts?". Reports blockers separately from suggestions and nits, with concrete fixes.
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
Review for correctness and risk first, style last. Report findings so the author knows what blocks the merge and what is optional.

## When to use
- Reviewing a PR, branch, commit or pasted snippet
- Self-review before opening a PR
- Deciding whether a change is safe to merge or release
## Workflow
1. **Scope**: run `bash scripts/review_scope.sh origin/main` inside the repo. It shows size, risk flags (migrations, auth, dependencies, CI, secret-like files), whether tests changed, and leftover debug lines.
2. **Understand intent**: read the PR description or commit messages. State the goal in one sentence. If it is unclear, ask.
3. **Read for design**: wrong approach beats any line level comment.
4. **Read for correctness and risk** using `references/checklist.md`, in order: design, correctness, security, tests, performance and operations, readability.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.df10443, 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.
