Review code changes for correctness defects, regressions, security risks, data-integrity problems, concurrency hazards, and missing meaningful tests. Use for pull requests, branches, commits, patches, or working-tree reviews; do not use for implementation unless the user separately requests 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
# Review Code ## Workflow 1. Establish the review target and comparison base. 2. Inspect the diff, then trace changed behavior through callers, contracts, persistence, side effects, and tests. 3. Inspect the target, isolation, fixtures, and side effects before running a narrow check that materially confirms a suspected issue. 4. Rank findings by impact and confidence; remove duplicates and speculation. 5. Return findings first, followed by open questions and a short summary. Use correctness as the default lens. For large, risky, or requirement-heavy changes, add the standards and specification lenses in [references/review-lenses.md](references/review-lenses.md). Keep each finding tied to its source; documented rules and acceptance criteria outrank personal preference. ## Finding standard Each finding must include: - severity; - precise file and line or symbol; - the failing scenario or invariant; - user or system impact; - evidence or a reproduction path; - a concise fix direction when clear. Do not report style preferences, theoretical risks without a reachable path, or issues outside the change unless the diff materially exposes them. ## Review boundaries …

How to install
mdr add phelan164/codex-howto/review-code@sha256:55c15fab4eb077acThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260731.42e092c, 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.
