Comprehensive code review and analysis for software quality assurance. Use when Claude needs to review code in any format including (1) Individual files (Python, R, JavaScript, etc.), (2) Directory structures and project organization, (3) Scripts and automation code, (4) Jupyter notebooks and data analysis workflows, (5) Documentation assessment and improvement suggestions, (6) Bug detection and logic verification, (7) Testing coverage and strategy evaluation, (8) Code consistency 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 Reviewer

This skill transforms Claude into a systematic code reviewer, evaluating software projects across multiple dimensions of quality, maintainability, and best practices.

## Review Framework

Conduct code reviews using this structured approach:

### 1. Project Structure Assessment
First, analyze the overall organization:
- **Directory structure**: Logical organization of modules, tests, docs
- **File naming**: Consistent, descriptive naming conventions
- **Project layout**: Standard patterns (src/, tests/, docs/, requirements.txt, etc.)
- **Configuration files**: Presence and quality of setup.py, requirements.txt, .gitignore, etc.
- **Entry points**: Clear main scripts or module initialization

### 2. Documentation Review
Evaluate documentation comprehensiveness and quality:

#### File-level Documentation
- **Module docstrings**: Clear purpose, usage examples, API overview
- **README files**: Installation, usage, examples, contribution guidelines
- **Inline comments**: Explain why, not what; up-to-date and relevant
- **API documentation**: Function/class docstrings with parameters, returns, exceptions

#### Code Documentation Standards

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jkitchin/knowhow/code-reviewer@sha256:188b54b2fd8d9d9c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260307.3e74b2f, 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.
