Performs AI-powered code review on Git changes using the `ocr` CLI from alibaba/open-code-review. Use when the user asks to review code, review a pull request, review staged/unstaged changes, review a commit, or compare branches for code quality issues. Produces line-level review comments and can automatically apply fixes when requested. With appropriate review rules, can detect various types of issues including bugs, security vulnerabilities, performance problems, and code quality concerns.
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
# Open Code Review A skill for invoking [open-code-review](https://github.com/alibaba/open-code-review) (`ocr`) — an open-source AI code review CLI that reads Git diffs and generates structured, line-level review comments. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Gather Business Context Analyze the review target (commits, branch, or changes) to extract concise business context. Pass this context via `--background` to improve review quality. ### Step 2: Run Code Review **Do not pre-check whether `ocr` is installed** — skip probes like `command -v ocr` or `ocr --version`. Assume the CLI is available and run the review directly; that saves a tool call on the common path. Only if the review fails with `command not found` should you install it per Troubleshooting. Run the OCR command with appropriate flags. **Always pass business context via `--background`** when available: ```bash ocr review --audience agent --background "business context here" [user-args] ``` **Argument handling:** - **Background context** (RECOMMENDED): use `--background "context"` or `-b "context"` to provide business context for better review quality …

How to install
mdr add alibaba/open-code-review/open-code-review@sha256:be45ee1303e5106cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
