Enforce the Basic Machines GitHub PR review loop before merging. Use whenever Codex is preparing to merge, squash-merge, auto-merge, declare a PR ready, monitor Codex comments, address review feedback, or wait for Codex approval on a GitHub PR, especially when the user says "approved", "merge", "ship", "PR is ready", "monitor Codex comments", or "address Codex feedback".

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

# PR Review Loop

## Hard Rule

Do not merge a PR merely because CI is green, the branch is mergeable, review threads are outdated, or no current Codex thread is visible.

Merge only when one of these is true:

- Codex has finished reviewing the latest head and left an explicit thumbs-up approval signal.
- The user explicitly overrides this gate with language like "merge without waiting for Codex approval" or "override Codex gate".

Codex often leaves that thumbs-up as a reaction on the PR description/body itself
(the GitHub Issue/PR object), not on its "Codex Review" issue comment. Do not
only inspect issue comments.

If Codex's newest fresh reaction on the PR body or a relevant comment is eyes,
it is reviewing. Wait and keep checking.

If Codex leaves a comment, review body, or inline thread containing substantive
feedback, the PR is not approved. Use judgement: fix the code when the comment
is right; reply with evidence when it is wrong or intentionally not worth
changing. A no-issue summary or boilerplate-only review body is not a blocker,
but it also does not replace the required thumbs-up.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add basicmachines-co/basic-memory/pr-review-loop@sha256:60a2c4452cd8d7e0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260718.85ce762, 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.
