Hostile audit toolkit: one entry point dispatching specialist commands — adversarial review, security, tests, docs, types, architecture, performance, reliability, caching, concurrency, error handling, resource leaks, dependencies, licensing, CI, commits, migrations, observability, API contracts, a11y, i18n, privacy, config, infrastructure-as-code, prompt safety, installed agent configuration, complexity, dead and unwired code, agent rule and hook enforcement, plus planning, plan execution…
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
# Nitpicker Adversarial, exhaustive code review and auditing. Assumes the code is incorrect until proven otherwise. One skill, many commands. ## Dispatch The text following the invocation is parsed as: ```text /nitpicker [command] [extra instructions] ``` - The **first word** names the command. Match it against the tables below — canonical names and aliases both resolve. Unknown first word or no text at all → run the default `audit` command and treat all text as extra instructions. - **Everything after the command** is extra instructions constraining that run (scope, focus, thresholds). The modifiers `inline` and `changed-files` may appear anywhere in it (see `commands/_conventions.md`). - Agents without argument substitution (Copilot, pi) pass the same text after the skill invocation; parse it identically. Execution order, always: 1. Load [commands/_conventions.md](commands/_conventions.md) — it binds every command (severity levels, context acquisition, the finding contract, rules). `np_read_reference` with `name: "conventions"` when the session exposes the nitpicker MCP tools, else read the file directly. …

How to install
mdr add ivuorinen/skills/nitpicker@sha256:f9474d52fd68100eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.b9c6b9f, 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.
