Review a diff or an entire codebase for maintainability and structure, preserving behavior. Use when explicitly requested for a strict, deep or harsh maintainability review, or a whole-repository over-engineering or bloat audit. Report-only; correctness, UI quality, test coverage and measured performance need separate assessments.
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
# Maintainability review A demanding read of the requested code, asking a single question: is this the simplest shape the code could take while doing exactly what it does now? Correctness is out of scope. For a routine review against repository standards, use `hr-code-review`; for hunting a bug, use `hr-diagnosing-bugs`. This review changes no code; it reports findings and a verdict. ## Choose the scope Use the user's requested scope: a diff, a subsystem or the entire repository. Record the revision and whether working-tree and untracked files are included. For a whole-codebase review, recent changes may inform priority but never narrow coverage to touched files. If the request names no scope, use the current branch's changes against the repository's default branch. ### Diff review 1. Find the branch's base with the repository's default branch, not a guessed name, and read the full diff against it. 2. Read every touched file whole, not only the hunks. Structure problems sit in how new lines fit the old ones. 3. For each new function, type, flag or module, read its callers and look for an existing helper, module or pattern that already does the job. …

How to install
mdr add bompus/house-rules/hr-maintainability-review@sha256:30177e2e9f6bb90eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.6645a9d, 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.
