Review a code change for correctness, security, maintainability, and test adequacy, and reach a defensible verdict. Use when reviewing a pull request, diff, patch, or AI-generated change; when scoping an oversized review into reviewable units; when writing or triaging review comments; when assigning reviewers or setting review policy; or when investigating why a defect escaped review. Covers change sizing and attention budgets, risk-tiered checklists, severity-labeled comments, verdict and…

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 Review

Review is a decision about a change, supported by evidence a second person gathered
independently. Everything else — the comment count, the approval ritual, the review
template — is scaffolding around that decision.

Two facts shape the method in this skill:

- Review catches what a reviewer can hold in working memory. Effectiveness falls as
  changes grow and sessions run long, so scope and attention are the first decisions,
  not the last.
- Most review comments are about evolvability, not defects. That is a fine use of
  review, but it means "approved" is a statement about the evidence examined, never
  proof that the change is correct.

The reviewer's job is to say precisely what was examined, what was found, what was
decided, and what remains unknown.

## When to use this skill

- A pull request, patch, or diff needs a verdict.
- A change is too large to review in one pass and needs scoping or splitting.
- Review comments need triage, severity labels, or rewriting so they are actionable.
- A team needs reviewer assignment, review policy, or review-latency norms.
- A defect reached production and the question is what review missed.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/code-review@sha256:a4bd6f7a5d5dc384

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.a046600, 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.
