Systematic codebase quality scan for identifying duplication, redundancy, and improvement opportunities. Use when reviewing a repo's architecture, finding refactoring targets, or assessing code health. Triggers: "scan the repo", "find code duplication", "suggest improvements", "code quality review", "is there redundant code", "refactoring plan", "architecture review".

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 Quality Scan

Systematic codebase scan that identifies duplication, redundancy, architectural issues, and improvement opportunities. Produces a prioritized action plan.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Scope Definition

Determine the scan scope:

- **Full repo**: Scan everything (default)
- **Directory**: Scan a specific package/module
- **Post-change**: Scan only files changed since last commit or compared to a branch

### Step 2: Structural Analysis

1. **Project layout**: Map the directory structure and identify the architecture pattern (flat, layered, hexagonal, etc.)
2. **Dependency graph**: Trace imports between packages to identify:
   - Circular dependencies
   - Unexpected cross-layer dependencies
   - Packages that import too many others (high fan-out)
   - Packages imported by too many others (high fan-in, potential God package)
3. **File size distribution**: Flag unusually large files (likely candidates for splitting)

### Step 3: Duplication Detection

Search for code duplication across the codebase:

1. **Structural duplication**: Similar function signatures, similar struct/type definitions

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jackchuka/skills/dev-code-quality@sha256:f03a31b14964d3db

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260604.0da3398, 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.
