Master effective code review practices to provide constructive feedback, catch bugs early, and foster knowledge sharing while maintaining team morale. Use when reviewing pull requests, establishing review standards, or mentoring developers.
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 Excellence Transform code reviews from gatekeeping to knowledge sharing through constructive feedback, systematic analysis, and collaborative improvement. ## When to Use This Skill - Reviewing pull requests and code changes - Establishing code review standards for teams - Mentoring junior developers through reviews - Conducting architecture reviews - Creating review checklists and guidelines - Improving team collaboration - Reducing code review cycle time - Maintaining code quality standards ## Core Principles ### 1. The Review Mindset **Goals of Code Review:** - Catch bugs and edge cases - Ensure code maintainability - Share knowledge across team - Enforce coding standards - Improve design and architecture - Build team culture **Not the Goals:** - Show off knowledge - Nitpick formatting (use linters) - Block progress unnecessarily - Rewrite to your preference ### 2. Effective Feedback **Good Feedback is:** - Specific and actionable - Educational, not judgmental - Focused on the code, not the person - Balanced (praise good work too) - Prioritized (critical vs nice-to-have) ```markdown ❌ Bad: "This is wrong." …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/code-review-excellence@sha256:1e264e04e7d2db9fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.13703c9, 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.
