Use when security, auth, billing, concurrency, data integrity, or another high-stakes artifact needs adversarial review by a provider other than its author.

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

# Independent Review

Use model review for residual uncertainty after executable checks. Same-provider
review gives only context separation, not independence. The lead owns
remediation and reruns the oracle.

## Trusted review path

Take the reviewer family and exact command from the capability registry or user
instruction; never guess. Set `review_tool` to the installed
`scripts/megapowers-review.go` beside this `SKILL.md`, not a project copy.

Dispatch a pre-approved reviewer in one step with
`--approve-external configured` or inspect first and pass the emitted
`approval_token`:

```bash
reviewer_cmd='<reviewer CLI and arguments>'   # {prompt_file} and {scratch_dir} expand
intent='<intended behavior and acceptance boundary>'
go run "$review_tool" review --file path/to/file --intent "$intent" \
  --provider <reviewer-family> --provider-command "$reviewer_cmd" \
  --author <author-family> --approve-external configured
```

When an instruction requires human inspection before dispatch or no configured
reviewer exists, run `inspect` first (`--file path/to/file` or
`--base <base-revision> --head <head-revision>`), check the disclosed intent,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lawzava/megapowers/independent-review@sha256:b9ab03beb823828c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.8206c29, 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.
