Assesses and rates quality 0-10 across multiple dimensions (correctness, maintainability, security, performance, testability, simplicity) with pros/cons analysis. Compares against project conventions and prior decisions from memory. Produces structured evaluation reports with actionable improvement suggestions. Use when evaluating code, designs, architectures, or comparing alternative approaches.

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

# Assess

Host-neutral workflow. Invoke by skill name (`assess`). Claude Code slash routing, YAML hook loaders, and `.claude/chain` live in `references/claude-code.md`.

Comprehensive assessment skill for answering "is this good?" with structured evaluation, scoring, and actionable recommendations.

## 🎯 Quick Start

```bash
assess backend/app/services/auth.py
assess our caching strategy
assess --model=opus the current database schema
assess frontend/src/components/Dashboard
```

### Effort levels (CC 2.1.111+ adds `xhigh`)

| Effort | Behavior |
|---|---|
| `low` / `medium` | Subset of dimensions, faster turnaround |
| `high` (default) | All six dimensions with pros/cons |
| `xhigh` | All six dimensions + one additional assessor pass focused on uncertainty/caveats; emits `confidence` per dimension |

> `xhigh` silently falls back to `high` on a model that does not implement it: no error, no log line. `doctor` Category 14 reports this, and only when it can positively prove the active model lacks the tier.

## Argument Resolution

### Step 0: resolve a pronoun target first

`$ARGUMENTS` is often not a path. Load `Read("../../shared/rules/target-resolution.md")`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/assess@sha256:87a9a42ed47d289f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.9.0, 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.
