Review code changes for correctness, security, and maintainability with severity-ranked, evidence-based findings. Use when asked to review a diff, a pull request, or a file before merge.
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
# Code review
Review the change, not the author, and report only what you can defend with
evidence from the code in front of you.
## Method
1. **Understand the intent first.** Read the description, the tests, and the
shape of the diff before judging a line. A "bug" that is deliberate
behavior wastes everyone's time; state the intent back in one sentence
before your first finding.
2. **Read in execution order, not file order.** Follow a request, event, or
call from entry to exit through the changed code. Bugs live on the paths
between hunks, not inside them.
3. **Hunt in this priority order:**
- Correctness: logic inversions, off-by-one, unhandled error and `null`
paths, race conditions, resource leaks, broken invariants.
- Security: unvalidated input reaching queries, paths, URLs, or shell;
secrets in code; authz checks missing on new surfaces.
- Reliability: what happens when the network call fails, the file is
missing, the input is empty, the list has one item, or two callers
arrive at once.
- Maintainability: misleading names, dead code, duplication of an
existing helper, missing tests for the risky branch.

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/code-review@sha256:c564c68ced19aa1dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.fac4544, 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.
