Orchestrates a structured design review, running the other skills as a diagnostic funnel from complexity triage to a full red-flags sweep. Use when the user asks for a comprehensive or prioritized design assessment of a file, module, or PR. Not for an open-ended "anything off here?" or "take a look at this" prompt that names no review goal (use red-flags), a plain diff review before merge or analyzing how code changed over time (use code-evolution), or applying one specific lens…

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

# Design Review Orchestrator

When invoked with $ARGUMENTS, scope the entire review to the specified target. Read the target code first, then proceed through the phases below in order. This skill orchestrates other skills from Clairvoyance (https://clairvoyance.fyi). It works best when the full collection is installed.

This skill does not replace individual lenses. It sequences them into a diagnostic funnel that moves from broad to narrow, skipping work when early phases find nothing actionable.

## Diagnostic Funnel

### Phase 1: Complexity Triage

Apply **complexity-recognition** checks against the target.

- Identify the three symptoms: change amplification, cognitive load, unknown unknowns
- Trace any symptoms to root causes: dependencies or obscurity
- Weight findings by the complexity formula: high-traffic code first

This phase determines whether the target has measurable complexity problems. If it does, subsequent phases diagnose where.

### Phase 2: Structural Review

Apply these lenses to the target's module-level architecture:

- **module-boundaries**: Are the boundaries drawn around knowledge domains or around steps in a process?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codybrom/clairvoyance/design-review@sha256:0e994e7cd6d02a94

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.b11ca93, 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.
