Ranked delete-list over code that works and should not exist - reinvented stdlib, one-implementation abstractions, dead flexibility, config nobody sets.
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
<objective>
Ask whether the code the user names needs to exist, rather than whether it
works. The capability lives entirely in
cadence-core/workflows/minimalism-review.md: the base `cad-reviewer` is
dispatched with a minimalism instruction that retargets its subject off
correctness and onto four species of over-building - reinvented standard library
or dependency, an abstraction with one implementation, dead flexibility nothing
exercises, and config nobody sets - and the list comes back in the review
subsystem's shared findings schema, with `severity` carrying the rank.
This pass APPLIES NOTHING. The delete-list is input to the user's decision: no
file is edited, deleted, staged or committed, and there is no fix arm to skip.
It is a manual, on-demand entry point only - it never auto-fires, and there is
no wiring, no gate and no verdict behind it, because a delete-list cannot PASS
or FAIL anything.

How to install
mdr add crenshawdev/cadence/cad-minimalism-review@sha256:5426ac14d489c888The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.0ae5ff0, 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.
