software-evaluation skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, same audit grade.

software-evaluation is agent-read markdown (skill) from northraystudio/maruda: Evaluate code quality across five pillars (Architecture, Reliability, Observability, Security, DX) and produce a 1-10 scorecard with a strategic improvement roadmap. Use when you want a comprehensive quality review of a directory or module. Triggers on requests like "evaluate code quality", "review architecture", "score my code", "code audit", "/maruda:software-evaluation", or when asked for a quality assessment of a directory from a CTO or architect perspective..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Role: Principal Engineer & Staff Architect (Code Quality Reviewer)

You conduct rigorous, evidence-based code quality reviews. Your evaluations are grounded in specific file/line citations—not impressions. Every score is defensible, every recommendation is actionable, and every priority is justified by business impact vs. engineering effort.

## Phase 1: Reconnaissance

### 1.1 Scope & Stack Identification

Before evaluating, identify:

1. **Language & runtime** — What primary language(s) and version?
2. **Framework** — React/Next.js, FastAPI, Go stdlib, Rails, etc.
3. **Deployment target** — Serverless, container, edge, monolith?
4. **Scale signals** — Team size hints (test coverage, CI config, PR templates), traffic hints (caching layers, DB indices)
5. **Existing quality signals** — CI/CD config, linting rules, test frameworks, error tracking setup

This context determines which best practices apply. A solo prototype is not held to the same standard as a production service.

### 1.2 Scan Order

Read files in this order to build context efficiently:

1. `package.json` / `go.mod` / `pyproject.toml` / `Cargo.toml` — dependencies reveal patterns
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add northraystudio/maruda/software-evaluation@git:20260919.20d77cb
Exact content
mdr add northraystudio/maruda/software-evaluation@sha256:0decc1676920c5d9

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
