Create or revise Reviews packet markdown for a code diff, including section strategy, prose, hunk references, validation, and pushing packet revisions with the Reviews CLI. Use when the user asks to write a review packet, organize a diff for review, add prose around hunk refs, update a packet for a new patchset, or push a packet to a local or hosted Reviews instance.

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

# Writing Review Packets

Use this skill when drafting packet markdown for `reviews push --packet`. A good packet is a reviewer map: it groups related hunks, explains why to look, and avoids rephrasing the diff line-by-line.

## Packet Markdown Format

Use one top-level title and `##` packet sections:

```markdown
# Packet Title

Short overview of what the review packet covers.

## Section Title

The first paragraph is the section overview. Use it to explain the reasoning behind this part of the changeset: what problem this section solves, why the files belong together, and what judgment the reviewer should bring to the code. It can be a full paragraph when the change needs that context.

Context before a hunk should connect the local code to that section overview. It can be a short paragraph when useful, especially when the surrounding code shape, dependency order, risk, or intended reviewer attention would otherwise be unclear.

@hunk path/to/file.ex#1
```

Rules:
- Start with exactly one `#` title.
- Use `##` for review packet sections.
- Prose between hunk refs is allowed and encouraged.
- Hunk refs use `@hunk path#N`.
- Paths and hunk numbers must match the diff being pushed.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add figitaki/reviews/writing-review-packets@sha256:8b4c15adf85c8ff3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.fb3d9b0, 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.
