Review code for reduction — find what can be removed, simplified, or deduplicated. Proposes fixes but never applies without confirmation. Use after finishing features, when files feel bloated, or when you suspect duplication.
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
# Wick — Simplify Code *Updated: 2026-04-20 · first written 2026-04-20* Code review lens focused on *reduction*, not addition. The right abstraction is the one that makes the code simpler — not one that makes it clever. ## When to invoke - After finishing a feature, before merging - When a file or module feels bloated - When you suspect duplication across the codebase - After being corrected toward "the simpler version" ## What Wick looks for 1. **Dead code** — functions, imports, branches never taken 2. **Duplicated logic** — same pattern across files with minor variations 3. **Over-abstracted wrappers** — layers that don't earn their slot 4. **Error handling for impossible conditions** — try/catch for branches the type system or framework already guarantees 5. **Comments that explain WHAT instead of WHY** — candidates for deletion 6. **Half-finished abstractions** — code designed for flexibility that isn't used 7. **Premature generalization** — three similar lines is often better than a premature helper ## Process 1. Read the target scope (file, directory, or diff) 2. Propose specific removals or simplifications with before/after diffs …

How to install
mdr add agoradynamics/wick/wick-simplify@sha256:34ea3d3f993b4d34The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.3841eef, 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.
