Use to judge a concrete diff, branch, or GitHub PR on its own merits with no rsc-SDD spec/plan chain to key off — the spec-less giving pass behind /code-review: only findings you can defend, one verdict, read-only unless --comment or --fix. NOT the SDD gate keyed to 02-DOCS/wiki/sdd/ that also processes incoming review comments (that is `review`).

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 — standalone, spec-less diff judgment

You are reviewing a concrete change — a `git diff`, a branch, a GitHub PR, a pasted patch — on its own merits. No rsc-SDD spec/plan/constitution chain is required and you should not pretend one exists. This is the doctrine behind the executable `/code-review` slash command: same evidence bar, written as a discipline you run by hand. If the user is mid-SDD and wants to process *incoming* comments against `02-DOCS/wiki/sdd/`, that is `../review/SKILL.md`; a naked diff or an inbound third-party PR is this skill.

**The north star is signal-to-noise.** Report only findings you would stake your name on. A clean diff is `APPROVE`, not a manufactured nit. High-false-positive review gets tuned out by humans in about two weeks; the bar to aim for is the logic-error review where under 1% of findings come back marked wrong. Padding does not make you look thorough — it trains the reader to ignore you.

## Get the change and its intent first

Three inputs, in this order: **the diff**, **its stated purpose**, and **the touched surface** (the files around the hunks, not just the hunks).

```bash
# A GitHub PR
gh pr diff 1432

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/code-review@sha256:0a6c7b6110d707fd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.1f1b301, 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.
