code-review-simplify SKILL.md skillA

code-review-simplify from mickeyyaya/evolve-loop is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add mickeyyaya/evolve-loop/code-review-simplify@git:20261007.e134ff4

Pins git:20261007.e134ff4 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when reviewing code changes for quality, security, performance, or maintainability issues and identifying simplification opportunities in a single token-efficient 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

> Unified code review + simplification. Single-pass, multi-dimensional scoring, adaptive depth. Integrates with evolve-loop's source-writing phases.

## Contents
- [Architecture](#architecture) — hybrid pipeline+agentic model
- [Single-Pass Flow](#single-pass-flow) — read diff once, analyze both dimensions
- [Multi-Dimensional Scoring](#multi-dimensional-scoring) — 4 dimensions with numeric scores
- [Adaptive Depth Routing](#adaptive-depth-routing) — scale analysis with diff complexity
- [Integration Hooks](#integration-hooks) — evolve-loop source-writer wiring
- [Simplification Catalog](#simplification-catalog) — what to simplify and when
- [Output Schema](#output-schema) — structured review+simplify report

## Architecture

Hybrid pipeline+agentic model. Structured passes handle known patterns cheaply; agentic reasoning handles contextual issues that require understanding intent.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mickeyyaya/evolve-loop/code-review-simplify@sha256:80be3f7939e0666e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.e134ff4, 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.
