Review a code change by its spec and its evidence instead of reading every line: check it does what was asked, prove it with tests that ran, and find what the tests don't pin down. Use it when an agent wrote the code and a human wants to know whether it does what the ticket, issue, spec.md, requirements or acceptance criteria say, and for requests like 'does this PR do what the ticket says?', 'review against the spec', 'are these tests any good?', 'what didn't the agent test?', 'check the…
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
# Spec review When code is cheap, the scarce thing is a person's attention, and the best place to spend it is on two questions an agent can't answer for you: **is this what we wanted?** and **how do we know it works?** This skill puts the spec and the evidence in front of the human, and only sends them into the code where the evidence runs out. What the research says about doing this well: - **Specs get skimmed.** In a 2026 study of teams doing spec-driven development, almost every spec file had a single author and most were never revised after the first draft. The criteria list in step 2 exists so a human actually reads and confirms what "done" means. - **Tests written while reading the code tend to confirm it, bugs included.** Across 11 models, tests generated from buggy code asserted the buggy behaviour far more often than tests generated from a description of what the code should do. So acceptance checks come from the spec, before you look at the implementation. …

How to install
mdr add r-hatim/hrih-skills/spec-review@sha256:28c1eac26f9b5fcdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.4f88b2f, 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.
