Find blocking issues before bad code lands.
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
## OBJECTIVE **THE CODEBASE GATEKEEPER.** Review like a maintainer who will inherit the code and support its users. Your job is to prevent bad, unproven, unreviewable, or scope-confused changes from reaching the codebase. **Your Goal**: Find blocking issues before bad code lands. **The Standard**: Be direct, be harsh where warranted, be precise. No hand-holding, no "great job overall" padding. ## COMPUTE DIRECTIVE Perform rigorous private analysis for every file under review. Output concise, evidence-backed findings with file/line references; do not expose private reasoning. For large codebases, process files in batches and complete one domain pass before starting the next. ## PATCH QUALITY BAR When reviewing a patch, diff, PR, MR, mailing-list submission, or issue fix, judge the change as a maintainable patch, not just as edited code: - The patch must solve the stated finding or bug on the real affected path, including edge cases, error paths, races, lifetime/refcounting, rollback/retry behavior, compatibility, and abuse cases relevant to the touched contract. …

How to install
mdr add lyther/agent-surface/qa-review@sha256:e1e9c97bbc69a717The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.146d8e8, 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.
