Use when reviewing code changes before committing or merging — staged diffs, branch diffs, or PR readiness checks. Triggers: 'review my code', 'check these changes', 'review this branch', 'give feedback on my diff', 'is this PR ready?'. Not for implementing features, running test suites, formatting-only passes, or building understanding of a change (use teach-me).

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 Review

## Overview

Structured, actionable code review focused on correctness, bugs, style, and maintainability.
Act as a senior engineer: thorough, pragmatic, impact-first.

## When to Use

- Reviewing staged changes before committing.
- Reviewing branch changes before merging or opening a PR.
- Checking a diff for correctness, bugs, style, or structure.
- Final review of all changes on a feature branch.
- Quick sanity-check of a small changeset before pushing.

**When NOT to use:**

- Implementing new features from scratch.
- Running test suites (see `writing-tests` or equivalent).
- Refactoring without a prior review (review first, then refactor on request).
- Linting or formatting only — use a linter or formatter directly.

## Invocation Notice

- Tell the user when this skill is running: `code-review`.
  Skip the notice when the user asked for the skill by name or slash command; spelling and spacing need not match.
  A phrase from this skill's own trigger list is not a name — naming the work is not naming the skill.

## Constraints

- Do NOT modify code unless explicitly asked.
- Do NOT guess missing code or behavior; ask for missing context.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ahgraber/skills/code-review@sha256:481588270fe01326

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.f541fc0, 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.
