Whole-repo audit for Thompson-mode violations. Like ken-review, but scans the entire codebase instead of a diff: a ranked list of what to rewrite, delete, or take back into the trusted base. Use when the user says "audit this codebase", "audit for rot", "what should be rewritten in this repo", "find the rot", "ken-audit", or "/ken-audit". One-shot report, does not apply fixes.
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
ken-review, repo-wide. Scan the whole tree instead of a diff. Rank findings biggest rewrite payoff first. ## Tags Same as ken-review: - `rot:` unit patched past rot; next fix is a rewrite. Name the rewrite's shape. - `layer:` wrapper/adapter/manager adding no decision. Delete, move callers down. - `unvouched:` dependency or pasted code nobody can explain. Read it or replace it. - `fancy:` clever where the plain form wins at this scale. Name the brute-force form. - `ceremony:` process, abstraction, or config serving itself. Remove it. ## Hunt Files with the densest fix-commit history (rot lives where patches pile up: `git log --format= --name-only | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head`), wrappers that only delegate, dependencies used for one call, hand-rolled cleverness at small n, translate-only layers between the caller and the work, config nobody sets. ## Output One line per finding, ranked: `<tag> <what>. <the move>. [path]`. End with `net: -<N> lines, -<M> layers, trusted base -<K> deps possible.` Nothing to flag: `Sound. Ship it.` ## Boundaries Scope: Thompson-mode method violations only. Correctness bugs, security …

How to install
mdr add rajnandan1/ken/ken-audit@sha256:9500f7a24bbc5b70The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.e88374f, 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.
