Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions "spaghetti", "spaghetti-monster", "god object", "find tangled code", "scan for complexity", "refactor opportunities", "codebase audit", "what needs refactoring", or asks to detect, untangle, or audit high-entropy, highly coupled, non-cohesive code. The monster is a Hunter — it scans the codebase, quantifies the spaghetti, and packages each high-value target into a backlog parcel plan with Phase 1 and Phase 2 pre-populated, ready for 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
# Spaghetti Monster — The Hunter
**One job: find the spaghetti, report it, package it for execution.**
The monster scans a target scope, quantifies the architectural debt against the Sensor Matrix, and produces two artifacts: a **ranked kill list** and one **backlog parcel plan per high-value target** with Phases 1 (Scope) and 2 (Context) fully pre-populated. The user then picks up Phase 3 (User Clarification) in a new conversation. Refactor execution is not in scope from this skill.
The monster is a **scoper, not a surgeon.** The surgery happens later, in a separate parcel-planned session.

## Pre-Run Checklist (Mandatory)
Before invoking the skill, both human and agent MUST verify their respective items. If any item is unchecked, halt and resolve before Stage 1.
**Human verifies:**
* [ ] I have a **specific scope to scan** ("`src/components/admin/`", "`src/views/estimator/`"), not a vague "find issues" request.
* [ ] I have a working tree I can snapshot if needed (`git status` clean or all changes intentional).
* [ ] I am willing to halt at Gate A (after the kill list) to confirm which targets become plans.

How to install
mdr add cmc-27/pass-the-parcel/spaghetti-monster@sha256:b1a43d0b5e6a70d2The line at the top of this page pins the label v5, 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.
