deep-review is agent-read markdown (skill) from fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall: Adversarial code review with three parallel perspectives — Advocate, Skeptic, Architect — that create productive tension. Use for high-stakes PRs, architectural changes, or when single-pass review would miss issues. Surfaces findings through disagreement, not consensus..
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
# Deep Review
Perform thorough code review using three perspectives with opposing mindsets. Their disagreement surfaces issues; their agreement signals confidence.
## When to Use
- Architectural changes, multi-file refactors, or security-sensitive code
- PRs that are too important for single-pass review
- When you suspect confirmation bias in a standard review
- High-stakes merges where the cost of a missed issue is high
## When NOT to Use
- Routine single-file edits (use standard `code-review` skill)
- Documentation-only PRs
- Formatting/linting changes

## The Three Perspectives
| Agent | Mindset | Question | Owns |
| ----- | ------- | -------- | ---- |
| **Advocate** | "Why is this correct?" | Trust boundaries, design rationale, false-positive defense | Correctness defense |
| **Skeptic** | "How can I break this?" | Bugs, edge cases, code smells that indicate bugs | Correctness attack |
| **Architect** | "Is this the right direction?" | System impact, scope, structural smells, tech debt | Direction |

## Workflow
### Phase 1: Gather Context
1. **Identify the changes** — PR diff, local changes, or specific files

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.
