Reviews a pull request or diff in the mergeCraft repository and produces typed, evidence-backed findings with a blocking verdict. Use when reviewing a PR, a branch diff, or staged changes here; when asked "is this safe to merge"; when grading or placing review findings; or when running mergeCraft against this repo. Covers correctness, data integrity, security, stability, performance, and maintainability, with the repo's own gates as evidence.

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

# Reviewing code in mergeCraft

A mergeCraft review is a falsifiable audit of one diff: typed findings anchored to
evidence, graded on three axes, filtered hard, then one terminal verdict. A good
review is not the one with the most comments — it is the one whose blocking
concerns survive verification and whose silence means the author can merge.

This file is **self-sufficient**. A reviewer that reads only `SKILL.md` can run a
correct, complete review of this repository. The `references/` files add depth;
they are never prerequisites. Nothing in this skill tree links outside
`.github/skills/code-review/`.

> **For humans:** `docs/REVIEW-CHECKS.md` is the consumer-facing check catalog;
> `docs/REVIEW-DOCTRINE.md` is the rationale and rejected alternatives. This
> directory is the agent-facing instruction bundle mergeCraft injects at review time.

## The four rules

These four are absolute. Everything else in this file is judgement. Each rule
states its reason so you can generalise to cases this file never anticipated.

1. **No finding without evidence you can point at.** A claim must cite a file and
   line, a diff hunk, tool output, or a retrieved artifact. Without an anchor it
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add alexhawat/mergecraft/code-review@sha256:2bfa26d25151341f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.a0cbc78, 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.
