review-staged SKILL.md skillA

review-staged from photostructure/coding-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add photostructure/coding-skills/review-staged@git:20261002.03479a6

Pins git:20261002.03479a6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Workflow to review the staged Git diff for verified bugs and then prepare a clean Conventional Commit. Use when the user directly asks to review staged changes or prepare a commit proposal. Do not trigger on a direct commit instruction without a review request.

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

# Review Git Staged Changes

Review the **staged** diff (`git diff --cached`) for potential issues and
improvements, then prepare the commit. When the user supplies a proposed commit
message, use it as context for the intended change, not as a correctness
requirement.

## User direction

A direct "commit" or "approved, commit" instruction authorizes the understood
scope and takes precedence over this skill's review and approval defaults.
Unless the user also requests review first, use [stage](../stage/SKILL.md) to
verify and commit that scope without starting or resuming a review or asking
for approval again. This also applies after findings or a review verdict; a
reviewer's recommendation does not overrule the user's commit instruction.
When project instructions require review before every commit, a commit
instruction for changes that review has not finished on since they last
changed runs the review first, and only an explicit instruction to skip review
skips it.

## Run the review

Size the scope before reading it: `git diff --cached --stat`. Review all staged
content as supplied. The size or coherence of a proposed commit does not affect
the review verdict.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add photostructure/coding-skills/review-staged@sha256:83645cbe645e506a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.03479a6, 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.
