Cross-vendor adversarial code review of the current branch. Two different model families (Claude + Codex/GPT) review the diff independently, then try to refute each other's findings; survivors are reported by confidence. Runs from either Claude Code or Codex. Use when the user asks for an adversarial review, a cross-model / second-opinion review, or wants high-confidence findings before merging. Report-only — never auto-applies 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

# Adversarial code review

Two reviewers from **different model families** — **Claude** and **Codex/GPT** — review the
same diff independently, then each tries to **refute** the other's findings. A finding's
confidence comes from whether it survives that cross-examination. This kills the two failure
modes of solo LLM review: self-ratification (a model won't critique its own work) and
confident false positives.

## You are the orchestrator — and one of the two reviewers

This skill runs from **either** Claude Code **or** Codex. First, **identify which model
family you are** (Claude or Codex/GPT). Then:

- **You** are reviewer #1. You review **natively**, in this session, using your own tools.
- **The other family** is reviewer #2. You invoke it as a **subprocess CLI** for an
  independent pass: a fresh process, no shared context — that independence is the point.

The CLI for "the other model":

| If you are… | Invoke the other via… |
|-------------|------------------------|
| **Claude**  | `codex exec` (GPT)     |
| **Codex**   | `claude -p` (Claude)   |

Everything else in the flow is symmetric. Resolve the `prompts/` and `schemas/` paths

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add basicmachines-co/basic-memory/adversarial-review@sha256:5171d85fef990ee9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260530.4ea03d2, 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.
