Delta review of a pull request in a synthesis-coded project: regression risk, root cause, scope, and handoff to adopt-and-adapt integration. Use when asked to: PR review, pull request, code review, review PR, delta review, review pull request, check PR, evaluate PR.
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
# Synthesis PR Review A pull request in a synthesis-coded project is not just "does the code work?" It is "does this change make the system better without making it worse?" This skill defines how to evaluate that. ## Binding rules 1. **Review the delta, not the codebase.** Ask whether the change does what it claims, regresses anything, fixes the root cause, is complete, and follows existing patterns. 2. **Every changed file must trace to the stated scope.** Compare the title and ticket with the file list; bundled or unexplained changes get justified or split, because they hide regressions and make bisects and reverts unsafe. 3. **Read the diff backward.** Removed and changed lines are where regressions hide; account for every caller of changed shared code. 4. **A symptom fix is not a fix.** Ask whether it still works when the underlying condition recurs in a slightly different way. 5. **Verify conclusions against the code yourself,** whether they came from an AI tool, a contributor or your own AI-assisted pass. Post a finding only if you can say "I have verified this against the actual code." …

How to install
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-pr-review@sha256:60578caaca89b8baThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
