Structured pre-ship review covering security vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, path traversal, command injection), logic errors (off-by-one, race conditions, null handling), business-rule correctness, and performance issues (N+1 queries, unbounded loops) — catches bugs that pass tests and blocks shipping until findings are fixed. Use when about to run git commit, about to create a pull request, or about to declare an implementation complete.
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
# Fresh-Eyes Review ## Core Principle **"NO COMMIT WITHOUT FRESH-EYES REVIEW FIRST"** This represents a final quality gate executed *after* implementation completion, passing tests, and peer review. The discipline applies universally, even without explicit skill activation. ## Key Distinctions Fresh-eyes review differs fundamentally from testing and code review: | Approach | Focus | Blind Spots | |----------|-------|-------------| | **Testing** | Validates expected behavior | Can't test for unknown edge cases | | **Code review** | Patterns and quality | Reviewer trusts author's intent | | **Fresh-eyes** | Deliberate re-reading with psychological distance | Catches what you thought was correct | **Critical insight**: "100% test coverage and passing scenarios" can coexist with "critical bugs" waiting discovery. ## Required Process ### Step 1 - Announce Commitment Explicitly declare: "Starting fresh-eyes review of [N] files. This will take 2-5 minutes." This announcement creates accountability and reframes your mindset from implementation to audit. ### Step 2 - Security Vulnerability Checklist Review all touched files for security issues: …

How to install
mdr add 2389-research/fresh-eyes-review/fresh-eyes-review@sha256:c59410021fcfed71The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260706.6156a86, 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.
