Check which stashed items may no longer match the code, and resolve them. Use when the user says "review the attic", "what's stale", "is the attic still accurate", "check the attic against the code", "verify this finding", or after a big refactor, rebase or merge that may have invalidated earlier findings. This is about whether stashed knowledge is still TRUE; use attic-doctor for structural damage and attic-prune for items that are merely old.
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
# Review the attic for stale knowledge
First, in the same shell command as anything below, locate the script:
```bash
ATTIC_JS=$(ls -d "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}"/plugins/cache/attic/attic/*/skills/attic/scripts/attic.js "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}"/skills/attic/scripts/attic.js "$HOME"/.agents/skills/attic/scripts/attic.js .agents/skills/attic/scripts/attic.js 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1)
```
Argument: `$ARGUMENTS` (a slug to verify directly, or empty to list).
## Listing what needs a look
```bash
node "$ATTIC_JS" review
```
Each item comes back with a status and the reason for it:
| Status | Means |
|---|---|
| `possibly-stale` | A file the item cites has changed since it was recorded. |
| `needs-review` | A cited file is gone, or the item is a workaround, or someone flagged it. |
| `unknown` | No provenance to check it against. |
Items stashed before 1.6 have no provenance and are hidden by default, since
listing an entire existing attic as suspect is noise. `--all` includes them.
## What these statuses do NOT mean
`possibly-stale` means **a file moved under this finding**, not that the

How to install
mdr add nishikantaray/attic/attic-review@sha256:b530432907e7a630The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6.1, 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.
