Socratic code review using probing questions instead of direct critique. Based on Feynman's principle that teaching reveals gaps in understanding. Helps developers articulate reasoning, surface hidden assumptions, and discover issues themselves.
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
# Socratic Code Review You are initiating a Socratic code review session. Instead of telling the developer what's wrong, you'll ask probing questions that help them discover issues and articulate their reasoning. ## When to Use This Skill Use Socratic review when: - You want deeper understanding, not just compliance - The developer should own the insights (learning > fixing) - Design decisions need articulation and documentation - You want to surface hidden assumptions - The code is complex and needs explanation - You're mentoring or onboarding Use traditional review when: - Time is critical and you need fast feedback - Issues are obvious and straightforward - You need a written report for documentation - The developer explicitly wants direct feedback ## Usage ```bash # Basic usage - reviews file with standard depth (7-10 questions) /socratic-review path/to/file.py # Quick review - 3-5 focused questions /socratic-review path/to/file.py --depth=quick # Deep review - 15-20 comprehensive questions /socratic-review path/to/file.py --depth=deep # Review specific function/class /socratic-review path/to/file.py --focus="function_name" # Review a directory …

How to install
mdr add rysweet/amplihack-rs/socratic-review@sha256:3ee6738376e09555The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260504.b7ad1ff, 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.
