Review one validated phase for behavior-preserving structural regressions introduced or materially worsened by the change. Use after phase validation and before final delivery.

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

# Phase Structural Review

Own a narrow maintainability pass after correctness has been established.

## Workflow

1. Read the selected contract, applicable repository rules, final diff, and changed units.
2. Identify only what the selected change introduced or materially worsened: code that deletion, an existing helper, the standard library, or a platform feature would replace; an abstraction, wrapper, flag, or configuration with one consumer; duplication; unclear ownership; loose types; or logic with a shorter readable form.
3. Use `crap-index-assess` when the repository's configured CRAP check covers changed methods or the phase was intended to reduce their CRAP risk. Treat score changes as supporting evidence, not a structural verdict.
4. Fix a finding only when the parent implementation request authorizes scoped edits and the correction is clearly behavior-preserving.
5. Report a worthwhile correction when it requires non-trivial restructuring or broader authority; do not expand scope during the review.
6. Rerun affected checks after every edit.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yarlson/yarstack/phase-review@sha256:cc0d81d0dd7b2a24

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.e22616f, 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.
