review skillA

review is agent-read markdown (skill) from stevepolitodesign/skills: Review a change for defects, then against its spec, its codebase's conventions, the domains trying to emerge from it, and whatever still depends on what it replaced..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Code review

Five reviewers, dispatched in parallel, each reading the same change from a different distance:

| Agent | Question |
| --- | --- |
| `agents/defects.md` | Is this code wrong — broken, slow, or exploitable? |
| `agents/spec-fidelity.md` | Did we build what was asked for, and only that? |
| `agents/conventions.md` | Does this look like the rest of the codebase? |
| `agents/domains.md` | Is a domain concept trying to emerge here? |
| `agents/compatibility.md` | Does anything still depend on what this replaced? |

They stay separate so the structural reviewer has nothing cheaper to do. One reviewer asked all five questions spends its attention on naming nits, and never reaches "those five files are one domain object in a trenchcoat."

## The confidence bar

Every finding carries a confidence out of 100: how sure the reviewer is that it's true and that the author would agree it's worth changing. Below 80, the agent drops it without mentioning it. Print the score with each finding so the author can calibrate how much to argue.

What's scarce in a review is the author's trust, not their reading time.

## Workflow

1. Fix the target — one diff, captured once.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add stevepolitodesign/skills/review@git:20260916.d48496a
Exact content
mdr add stevepolitodesign/skills/review@sha256:b78fd3a12b9c83f3

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
