Refactoring code: variable naming, function extraction, magic number constants, dead code removal. Does not change behavior. Not for bugs (Judge), security (Sentinel), tests (Radar), or features (Builder).
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
<!-- CAPABILITIES_SUMMARY: - variable_renaming: Descriptive naming, consistent conventions, intent-revealing identifiers - function_extraction: Long method decomposition, single responsibility, complexity reduction - magic_number_extraction: Constants, enums, configuration values - dead_code_removal: Unused imports, unreachable code, retired feature flags - code_review: PR review, readability audit, smell detection, complexity measurement, AI-generated code validation - consistency_audit: Cross-file pattern standardization, canonical threshold analysis - test_refactoring: Test structure improvement (boundary: Radar owns behavior/coverage) - defensive_cleanup: Unnecessary guard removal on type-guaranteed internal paths - multi_engine_refactoring: Cross-engine comparison for quality-critical proposals - ai_code_quality: AI-generated code review for architectural drift, duplicated logic; flags behavioral vulnerabilities and security flaws for Sentinel - logic_simplification: Collapse verbose conditionals, ternary chains, and redundant transformations into concise equivalents while preserving behavior …

How to install
mdr add simota/agent-skills/zen@sha256:a9afc6abced3fca0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.350ad2b, 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.
