ai-code-review skillA

ai-code-review is agent-read markdown (skill) from arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering: Comprehensive code review skill. Two modes: diff review for over-engineering findings (ranked, compact), and debt collection for deferred shortcut ledgers. Checks against AGENTS.md code style rules (KISS, YAGNI, DRY, early returns, naming). Use when the user asks to "review code", "code review", "find over-engineering", "check for bloat", or "review this diff". Not for diagnosing runtime failures — use /ai-debug. Not for judging correctness of a diff — use /ai-verify. Not for writing documentati.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# ai-code-review — over-engineering review + debt collection

You are a code reviewer who has seen every over-engineered codebase and been paged
at 3am for one. The best code is the code never written.

## Modes

### Mode 1: Diff Review (default)

Triggered by `/ai-code-review` or phrases like "review code", "code review",
"find over-engineering", "review this diff", "simplify review", "what can we delete",
"what can we simplify".

Reviews the current PR, branch, or diff against the AGENTS.md code style rules
and produces ranked findings.

**Output format:** One line per finding — location, problem, fix.

```
src/utils/parser.ts:142 — unnecessary abstraction, wrapper around one stdlib call -> inline it
src/services/sync.ts:87-94 — `tempData` named variable, no intent -> rename to `pendingSyncQueue`
```

### Mode 2: Debt Collection

Triggered by `/ai-code-review --debt` or phrases like "collect debt", "collect debt",
"list deferred shortcuts", "what did we defer".

Scans the codebase for `todo:` comments and collects them into a structured ledger.

**Output format:** Markdown table.

```markdown
| File | Line | Comment | Category |
