review-change SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 5 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

review-change from chrisgagne/grounded-forge is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Review one change (a pull request, a diff, a branch) the way the factory's review stage does, grounded in the warranting library, and end with a plain-words sign-off sheet for someone who doesn't read code. Use when someone asks to review a change before it merges, asks whether they can sign a change off, or pastes a diff and asks what's wrong with it.

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 a change, then write the sign-off sheet

This is the factory's review stage (`factory/factory/prompts/reviewer.md`), run in a conversation instead of the
harness. The person who signs off a change decides by reading evidence, not code, so every finding stands on what the
code shows, and the sheet keeps what was **demonstrated** apart from what was only **asserted**.

## What this can and can't do

Say this to the person at the start, in a sentence or two:

- This is a review: it reads the change. It doesn't run the project's tests, lock acceptance tests before the build,
  run the scanners in a sandbox, or keep a tamper-evident log. Those are the factory's other stages, and they need
  the harness (`factory/README.md`).
- In the factory's tests on ReviewBench, this brief found no more than a plain "review this as a careful senior
  engineer" prompt, on Claude or on OpenAI's model; it beat the labs' own review commands only at their default
  settings, and OpenAI's `codex review` and Claude Code with a plain prompt, run together, found as much as anything
  the factory built. What this workflow adds is the sign-off sheet, not more findings. A second review from the other
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrisgagne/grounded-forge/review-change@sha256:63b25d0d99662f76

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.8ac756f, 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.
