[Adam''s Skills] Fresh-context audit of a finished diff against the conversation''s stated intent. A subagent with zero conversation history reviews the diff blind — reporting what it believes the change does, its quality, and any oversights — then the main context reconciles that blind read against what the work was actually meant to do, and surfaces any assumption about real-world behaviour that the code cannot settle. Use when a chunk of work is complete and you want fresh eyes to confirm…

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

# fresh-eyes

Audit a finished diff with fresh eyes. The mechanism is **double-blind reconciliation**:
a subagent that never saw the conversation reads the diff blind and reports what it
*thinks* the change does. The main context — which holds the real intent — compares
that blind read against what the work was meant to do. The divergence is the signal.

Not *only* a bug-hunt. The primary lens is completeness and intent — did the change do
what it was meant to, fully. Catching bugs and oversights is a secondary byproduct of
that check, welcome but not the goal. For a dedicated correctness sweep, use
`/code-review` or `/codex review` instead.

**Why this is not the verification pass you were told to delete.** Current prompting guidance
says to strip explicit verification instructions — "double-check your answer", "add a final
verification step", "use a subagent to verify" — because the model already self-checks and the
instruction compounds into wasted passes. That is correct, and it does not describe this skill.
Those instructions ask the *same* context to look at its own work again, which is the pass that
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add adamlinscott/claude-skills/fresh-eyes@sha256:af7281e34cd6fd35

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.fda8754, 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.
