Score a code diff on ten dimensions (conventions, reuse, consistency, security, scalability, future-proofing, quality, tests, docs, cleanup) with PASS, WARNING, FAIL or UNKNOWN and an overall verdict; PR review mode cross-references reviewer comments. Use to audit or review a diff.
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
# Synthesis Code Audit A code audit is a systematic quality measurement of a diff. It is not a judgment call about whether a change should merge — that is the reviewer's job (see synthesis-pr-review). An audit produces a scored report across 10 orthogonal dimensions, each graded independently. The report tells you *where the quality problems are*; the reviewer decides *what to do about them*. ## Binding rules 1. **Measure; don't decide.** The audit grades the diff; merging is the reviewer's call. When another workflow (preflight, PR review) invoked the audit, return the findings to it. 2. **Compare against a fresh base ref**, never a stale local one: a stale base causes both false positives and false negatives. 3. **Read every changed file in full**, not just the diff hunks; the surrounding file shows whether the change makes sense. 4. **Give the reviewer the complete requirements** (frozen artifact universe, user outcome, acceptance criteria, exclusions, decisions) without priming the verdict. Challenge a mistaken premise with evidence and route amendments to the decision owner. …

How to install
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-code-audit@sha256:789731c21b3b702aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
