attic-review skillA
attic-review is agent-read markdown (skill) from nishikantaray/attic: 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..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Review the attic for stale knowledge
Argument: `$ARGUMENTS` (a slug to verify directly, or empty to list).
## Listing what needs a look
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../attic/scripts/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
finding is wrong. A rename, a reformat or an unrelated edit in the same file
all produce it. Say "may need checking", never "this is out of date" — you do
not know that yet, and the whole point of the status is to prompt a look
rather than to replace one.
## Resolving an item
Read the item (`/attic-recall <slug>`), then check its claim against the code
as it is now. Only after actually looking:
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add nishikantaray/attic/attic-review@v1.6.1mdr add nishikantaray/attic/attic-review@sha256:217994c863e7985ePin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
