Maps engineering ownership risk in a repository using repo evidence such as git history, churn, bus factor, CODEOWNERS coverage, test density, and orphaned or unclear-owner surfaces. Use when a user says `map ownership risk`, `find bus factor hotspots`, `which files look orphaned`, `high-change low-test areas`, or asks for a recurring maintenance pass that identifies risky surfaces before they become incidents. Do NOT use for org charts, HR ownership assignments, or generic maintainer lists…

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

# SWE Ownership Risk Map

## What This Skill Does

Use this skill to identify where a repository is most exposed to ownership
risk, not to build a people directory.

The goal is to produce a ranked map of surfaces that are likely to become
fragile because of:

- concentrated commit ownership
- high churn with few distinct contributors
- unclear or missing CODEOWNERS coverage
- low test density near important code paths
- stale or orphaned modules, scripts, or configs
- recent turnover or repeated handoffs in the same surface

The output should be suitable for scheduled maintenance: short, repeatable, and
easy to compare across runs.

## When To Use

Use this skill when the user wants to:

- find the highest-risk ownership hotspots in a repo
- identify likely bus-factor problems before a change or release
- run a recurring maintenance pass over high-churn or low-ownership areas
- see which surfaces need better ownership, tests, or documentation

## Do Not Use

Do not use this skill for:

- assigning people to teams or building an org chart
- generic repo orientation with no ownership-risk goal
- general bug hunting or refactor planning

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ckorhonen/swe-skills/swe:ownership-risk-map@sha256:40eb55b9ac5e739c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260404.9370c32, 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.
