Iterate a PR to its final form by running two opposing reviewer droids (reviewer-robustness and reviewer-minimalist) in a bounded back-and-forth loop. The main orchestrator synthesizes their feedback, makes edits, runs tests, and stops when both approve, on stagnation, or after 3 rounds. Use when the user asks to "iterate on a PR", "polish a PR", "have the reviewers go back and forth", "align reviewers on a PR", or otherwise wants a PR brought to merge-ready quality by two opposing critics.

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

# PR Alignment Loop

You orchestrate two read-only reviewer droids over a real PR until it is merge-ready. You own the edits, the tiebreaks, and the stopping decision. The reviewers only critique.

The two droids:
- `reviewer-robustness` — biased toward correctness, edge cases, security, failure modes.
- `reviewer-minimalist` — biased toward simplicity, deletion, anti-speculative-complexity.

They are intentionally biased in opposite directions. The negotiated middle is the goal — not the union of their wishlists.

## Operating principles

- **You are the implementer.** Reviewers never edit code. You synthesize their feedback and edit.
- **Bias to ship.** Default is APPROVE once no `HIGH`-severity issue remains. Do not chase polish.
- **Anti-bloat is co-equal with anti-bug.** Adding code has a cost. Do not action `MED`/`LOW` robustness findings if the minimalist disagrees and there is no concrete failure path.
- **Hard 3-round cap.** No exceptions.
- **Log every conflict resolution.** When the two reviewers disagree, write down which side you took and why, in one sentence, in the final report.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nikships/skills-registry/pr-alignment-loop@sha256:55278f4684f7ca9d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260524.c4525b0, 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.
