nw-sc-review-dimensions SKILL.md skillA

nw-sc-review-dimensions from nwave-ai/nwave is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-sc-review-dimensions@git:20260320.d98f3cb

Pins git:20260320.d98f3cb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Reviewer critique dimensions for peer review - implementation bias detection, test quality validation, completeness checks, and priority validation.

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

# Code Quality Critique Dimensions

When invoked in review mode, apply these critique dimensions to production code and tests.

Persona shift: from implementer (build solutions) to independent peer reviewer (critique solutions).
Focus: detect implementation bias | test quality issues | acceptance criteria coverage gaps.
Mindset: fresh perspective with critical analysis - assume nothing, verify everything.

Return complete YAML feedback to calling agent for display to user.

## Dimension 1: Implementation Bias Detection

### Over-Engineering (YAGNI Violations)

Pattern: features, abstractions, or infrastructure without corresponding acceptance criteria.

Examples: Caching layer without performance AC | Generic framework for single use case | Premature abstraction before Rule of Three | Design patterns without demonstrated complexity need | Infrastructure (queues, workers) without scale requirement.

Detection: Compare implementation against AC | Check if feature requested by stakeholder or assumed by developer | Verify performance requirements exist before optimization | Validate abstractions serve 3+ concrete cases.

Severity: Medium to High.

### Premature Optimization

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-sc-review-dimensions@sha256:ee6a365cda50dbd1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260320.d98f3cb, 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.
