Review a codebase for deepening opportunities, informed by the project Brain's domain language and ADRs.
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 Surface architectural friction and propose **deepening opportunities** — refactors that turn shallow modules into deep ones. The aim is testability and AI-navigability. ## What this is This reviews structure, not a diff: it reads the codebase as it stands rather than the change in front of it, and it proposes deepening rather than hunting defects. This skill is an entry point rather than a pipeline stage. It starts from the codebase instead of from a plan, and anything multi-step it produces joins the main pipeline at `to-design`. ## Glossary Use these terms exactly in every suggestion. Consistent language is the point — don't drift into "component," "service," "API," or "boundary." Full definitions in [language](references/language.md). - **Module** — anything with an interface and an implementation (function, class, package, slice). - **Interface** — everything a caller must know to use the module: types, invariants, error modes, ordering, config. Not just the type signature. - **Implementation** — the code inside. …

How to install
mdr add arminzou/dotbrain/review-architecture@sha256:ee266921643b411fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.dd1c8ae, 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.
