Structural and accuracy review of documents: gaps, clarity, completeness, organization, and claims checked against the code. Use when a brainstorm, plan, spec, ADR, or any doc needs polish before the next workflow step. For exploring new ideas from scratch, use brainstorming instead.

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

# Document Review

Improve brainstorm or plan documents through structured review.

## Working rules

- Assess before editing, preserve implementation-relevant constraints and rationale, and distinguish minor edits from substantive decisions.
- A review-only request authorizes findings, not file edits. Apply changes only when the user has requested editing or approved the proposed changes; do not ask again for changes already authorized.

## Step 1: Get the Document

**If a document path is provided:** Read it, then proceed to Step 2.

**If no document is specified:** Ask which document to review (via `AskUserQuestion` in Claude Code, `request_user_input` in Codex, or numbered options in chat as the fallback), or look for the most recent brainstorm/plan in `docs/brainstorms/` or `docs/plans/`.

## Step 2: Assess

Read through the document and ask:

- What is unclear?
- What is unnecessary?
- What decision is being avoided?
- What assumptions are unstated?
- Where could scope accidentally expand?
- Is this technically feasible with the current architecture?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add iliaal/whetstone/ia-document-review@sha256:c0cb6dd38257637c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.eaa3dc6, 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.
