Read-only check that a codemod or bulk transform preserved behavior — compiling is not proof. Use when "did this codemod break anything", "audit this bulk refactor", or before merging a mass find-replace. SQL → plan-data-integrity.

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

# audit-codemod-safety — A clean compile and lint does not mean it behaves the same

**Degree of freedom: MIXED** — Phases 0–2 `[HIGH freedom]`; Phase 3
high-risk hand-trace `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`. Do not re-run the
transform.

Read-only. A codemod's danger is scale plus plausibility: it touches hundreds
of files and each diff looks trivially correct, so review fatigue waves it
through. A mechanical transform proves **syntax, not semantics**.

Present findings. Do not re-run the transform or edit the diffs. Hand fixes
to a follow-up session.

## This skill vs neighbors

| Skill | Owns |
|---|---|
| **audit-codemod-safety** (this) | Source-transform correctness at scale — behavior, completeness, consistency |
| `audit-code-review` | General PR / diff quality on a named change set |
| `plan-data-integrity` | Data / SQL / destructive migrations — not JS/TS source mods |
| `audit-code-quality` | Repo-wide anti-patterns, not one mechanical pass |
| `burndown-full` | Drive a leftover MATCH pattern to zero — this *audits* whether the pass was safe |
| `audit-gate-logic` | If size defeated review and syntax defeated linters, that is also a gate-logic finding |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kensaurus/cursor-kenji/audit-codemod-safety@sha256:db5e890d58f20598

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.3771283, 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.
