Technical debt judgment: what to improve in this diff, when a shortcut is taken on the record, which debt to pay first. Trigger: load when deciding whether an improvement belongs in this diff or in a ticket, when taking a shortcut (yours, or one the user asks for), or when ranking debt. Clean code itself needs no skill.

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

## Critical Patterns

### 1. Clean code = the next reader understands it without you

That's the whole definition, and the clean-code canon (names, one reason to
change, guard clauses, no dead code) follows from it without needing a list
here. Two diagnostics are worth keeping because they catch design, not style:
if naming something is HARD, the design is usually wrong — the naming
difficulty is the finding, don't paper over it; and a comment that explains
WHAT the next line does is an apology for unclear code, while one that states
a constraint the code can't express (why NOT the obvious approach, an
invariant, the decision's link) is the only kind that earns its place.

### 2. The boy scout rule — scoped to the diff

Leave every file you touch slightly better: a clearer name, an extracted
function, a deleted dead branch. But "better" stays INSIDE the task's blast
radius — improving lines you're already changing is hygiene; rewriting the
module you passed through is scope creep (flag it, per the
[peer contract](../../AGENTS.md)). The test: would the reviewer see the cleanup
as part of this change, or as a second change hiding in the diff? When it is
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jrodrigopuca/local-agents/lh-code-health@sha256:4f0add5459d36d47

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, 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.
