Challenge an existing proposal or result to find material risks and a better path. Use when the user asks to challenge, poke holes in, or pressure-test a plan or finished work, or when another skill needs an adversarial pass.

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

# Relentless Review

Check whether the current proposal or result meets the requirements and whether a concrete alternative would improve it. Challenge assumptions and examine realistic failures. Recommend a different approach only when you can explain how it better meets the requirements or reduces a concrete risk.

A review request authorizes analysis and recommendations. Editing the artifact, implementing recommendations, or publishing changes requires authorization for those actions; reuse any authorization already given for the same scope.

## Goal

Give a direct verdict on whether to keep or change the current approach under the known requirements and constraints. The review must:

- state the requirements the result must meet
- identify assumptions that materially affect the verdict
- test the edge cases and failure modes that matter for this artifact: empty, malformed, duplicate, large, slow, partial failure, race, stale state, permissions, versions, accessibility, timezone/localization, dependency failure, detectability, recovery, blast radius, and rollback
- compare the current approach against simpler, safer, more direct, or more reversible alternatives

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marcellocurto/skills/relentless-review@sha256:8533e15b6420990b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.444423a, 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.
