Evaluates whether changes to existing code maintain or degrade design quality. Use when the user asks to review a diff or PR (for example before merging it), or asks about recently modified files, to judge whether each change looks designed-in or bolted-on. Not for scanning design smells (use red-flags) or assessing overall design investment (use strategic-mindset).
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 Evolution Review Lens When invoked with $ARGUMENTS, focus the analysis on the specified file, module, or pull request. Read the target code first, then apply the checks below. Evaluate whether code modifications maintain or degrade design quality. ## When to Apply - Reviewing a PR that modifies existing code - After adding a feature to an existing system - When code has accumulated patches and feels degraded - When deciding whether to refactor during a feature change ## Core Principles ### Technical Debt Technical debt doesn't come from catastrophic decisions. It comes from hundreds of small, reasonable shortcuts that compound silently until the codebase starts fighting back. Calling it "debt" at all is generous because the financial kind gets repaid. #### During Modifications - Debt in the area being modified → fix it now (context is fresh, fix is cheapest) - Debt elsewhere affecting the modification → document it, fix if feasible - Never add to the pile. Each modification should reduce debt, not increase it #### Refactoring …

How to install
mdr add codybrom/clairvoyance/code-evolution@sha256:5350c254b5473ab0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.b55f118, 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.
