cupid-code-review skillA

cupid-code-review is agent-read markdown (skill) from habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers: Use when reviewing or refactoring code and wanting a structured lens beyond SOLID — applies Daniel Terhorst-North's CUPID properties to surface improvement opportunities in any codebase or language..

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

# CUPID as a Code Review and Refactoring Lens

## Overview

CUPID is a set of five properties — **C**omposable, **U**nix philosophy, **P**redictable, **I**diomatic, **D**omain-based — described by Daniel Terhorst-North as things good code *tends toward*, not rules it must comply with. That makes them ideal review lenses: you are asking "how strongly does this code exhibit this property?" and "what would moving it further in this direction look like?"

Use them as questions, not verdicts.

## The Five Lenses

### C — Composable: plays well with others

Code is composable when it can be combined with other code in many contexts without modification.

**Review questions:**

- Can I use this function/module independently, without pulling in unrelated state?
- Is the API surface the minimum needed — no accidental exposure?
- Are dependencies explicit (passed in) rather than implicit (global/ambient)?
- Does it work at multiple call sites, or does it secretly assume one?

**Refactoring signals:**

- Many parameters that describe context rather than the operation itself
- Functions that only make sense when called in a specific order
- Hidden global state or singleton dependencies
