AI self-monitoring skill. Detects architectural debt, confusing schemas, inconsistent patterns that cause repeated AI mistakes. Offers to create refactoring proposals as issues. NOT user-invoked - AI triggers when detecting systemic codebase issues causing confusion.
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
# Refactor Radar Detects systemic codebase issues that repeatedly confuse AI assistants and offers to create refactoring proposals. ## When to Trigger (Self-Assessment) **IMPORTANT:** This skill is NOT user-invoked. Trigger when you detect patterns that will cause ONGOING confusion, not one-time mistakes. ### Architectural Smells (High Confidence) 1. **Inconsistent Naming Across Layers** [category: `naming`] - DB uses snake_case, API uses camelCase, frontend uses kebab-case - Same concept has different names in different places (`user`, `account`, `member`) - Example: `users.created_at` → API returns `createdAt` → Frontend displays `creation-date` 2. **Schema/Model Mismatch** [category: `schema`] - ORM models don't match actual DB schema - TypeScript types don't match API responses - Documentation describes different structure than code - Example: Type says `user.email: string` but DB allows null 3. **Inconsistent Patterns in Same Codebase** [category: `patterns`] - Some services use Repository pattern, others direct DB access - Mixed async patterns (callbacks, promises, async/await) - Multiple state management approaches in same frontend …

How to install
mdr add eltmon/overdeck/refactor-radar@sha256:85b6c41d91a8cca9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.0c0074f, 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.
