Reviews YUP audio plugin code for YUP-specific correctness issues: AudioProcessor lifecycle, AudioParameterBuilder and AudioParameterHandle usage, editor gestures, AudioBusLayout handling, CLAP/VST3 wrapper contracts, state recall, and MIDI safety. Use when the user asks to review a YUP plugin, check a processBlock, audit parameter smoothing, or asks "is this YUP code safe?". Trigger when you see yup::AudioProcessor, yup_audio_plugin, AudioParameterBuilder, AudioParameterHandle…

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

# YUP Audio Plugin Review

YUP looks JUCE-like in places, but its plugin API has its own parameter handles, bus layout, editor contract, and wrapper behavior. Review those directly instead of applying APVTS rules.

## Step 0 - Run universal checks first

Invoke `audio-dsp-review` and `audio-numerics-review` before this skill. This skill adds YUP-specific checks on top; it does not replace realtime-safety or numerics reviews.

## Step 1 - Identify plugin structure

Locate the core classes and boundaries:
- `yup::AudioProcessor` - audio thread owns `processBlock`; wrapper/host code calls lifecycle, state, and preset methods
- `yup::AudioProcessorEditor` - UI/message thread only; never call from audio thread
- `yup::AudioParameter` - atomic scalar value plus listeners for host/UI notification
- `yup::AudioParameterHandle` - audio-thread smoothing/read path; initialise in `prepareToPlay`
- `yup::AudioBusLayout` - immutable I/O contract exposed to plugin wrappers
- `extern "C" yup::AudioProcessor* createPluginProcessor()` - plugin entry point used by wrappers

## Step 2 - Scan for YUP violations

| Violation | Where to look | Risk |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gourdja/sonic-skills/yup-review@sha256:e7341d1c83de46c1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260516.f532e94, 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.
