Review system architecture, simplify boundaries, or compare interface designs from repository evidence.
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
# Architecture review Load `skills/blocks/engineering-method-selection.md` from the installed plugin and apply only the methods relevant to this task. Preserve this entry point's execution contract and output format. Read referenced skills as instructions; do not invoke the current command recursively or add provider calls from a seat. Run this method on the current host. A routine architecture review makes zero additional provider dispatches. `--peer-review`, an explicit independent-review request, or an existing risk policy may add one bounded external reviewer through Octopus routing. Report incomplete independent coverage if that reviewer cannot read the source or does not return a grounded contribution. ## Method Read and apply `skills/blocks/architecture-simplification.md` from the installed plugin root. Pin the source revision and inspect implementation, callers, tests, recent churn, and failure behavior before recommending a boundary. For a single simplification, produce one evidence-backed interface. For a design choice, produce two alternatives from the same immutable requirements: - Draft A minimizes caller knowledge and configuration. …

How to install
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/octopus-architecture@sha256:b0a17605694859d6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.4febbb1, 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.
