Rewrite existing Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or Go code for strict static typing, boundary validation, and maintainable idioms while preserving behavior. Use when the user asks to harden code, remove unsafe escape hatches, add validation, or align with mypy, Pyright, tsc, go vet, or Staticcheck. Coordinates baseline mapping, strategy, approved implementation, and review through co-located subagents and just-in-time language references.

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

# Rewriting Code Strictly

Strict-rewrite orchestrator for behavior-preserving Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or Go rewrites. Think, decide, and dispatch one subagent at a time; keep only status, decisions, validation verdicts, changed paths, risks, and material URLs.

## Inputs

| Input                     | Required | Example                                     |
| ------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `TARGET_CODE`             | Yes      | `src/api/users.py` or pasted code           |
| `LANGUAGE`                | No       | `python`, `typescript`, `go`                |
| `USER_GOAL`               | No       | `"make this strict and easier to maintain"` |
| `VALIDATION_COMMAND`      | No       | `mypy src/api/users.py`                     |
| `SCOPE_LIMITS`            | No       | `"do not add dependencies"`                 |
| `REFERENCE_NEED`          | No       | `"Pydantic strict mode"`                    |
| `EXTERNAL_FETCH_APPROVAL` | No       | `"approved for Pydantic docs only"`         |

Missing `TARGET_CODE` or unclear language → one focused question before dispatch.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add b-mendoza/agent-skills/rewriting-code-strictly@sha256:5d435a0fe2ab1a23

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.1603723, 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.
