Review server-side logic that is not purely database or security work. Use for API handlers, server functions, services, jobs, workers, event processing, webhooks, background tasks, external-service integrations, and business-logic changes.

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

# Backend Review

Review the server-side behavior of the change: correctness of logic, service boundaries, and asynchronous behavior.

## Boundaries and Logic

- Request validation at the entry point, and trust assumptions between internal modules.
- Business rules enforced in one canonical place rather than duplicated per caller.
- Clear service boundaries: no duplicated logic across handlers, and no hidden coupling.
- Correct use of server-side state instead of client-provided values.

## Asynchronous Behavior

- Concurrency and race conditions on shared state.
- Retries: what is retried, backoff, and what is not safe to retry.
- Idempotency for create, payment, and webhook style operations.
- Timeouts on every external call, including connect and total time budgets.
- Error propagation: preserve the real cause while keeping internals out of user-facing output.
- Resource cleanup for connections, file handles, locks, and temporary files.
- Duplicate processing from replays, redelivery, and at-least-once queues.

## External Services

- Failure and partial-failure handling for third-party calls.
- Rate limits, quotas, and backpressure.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add frnkgns/gentjinskills/backend-review@sha256:a2789d059d77567c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.3185b84, 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.
