Turn code review into teaching when an AI reviews alongside people, so juniors learn to review instead of rubber-stamping the agent. Use it when a junior or new team member reviews a pull request with an AI reviewer, when a senior wants to mentor through reviews, or for requests like 'review this PR with me', 'help me learn to review', 'check my review', 'what did I miss?', 'train me on this codebase', and when a solo developer wants to keep their own reviewing sharp. The junior reviews first…

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 apprentice

Code review was never mostly a bug filter. In Microsoft's study of its own reviews, only about one comment in seven was about a defect, and knowledge transfer came up in almost every interview without being asked about. Google built review partly as a teaching device; its "readability" certification is an apprenticeship run through reviews. Reviewing is how people learn a codebase: in one study it widened the set of files a developer knew by two thirds or more.

An AI reviewer can quietly end that. Two findings shape this skill:

- **People anchor on what the AI flags.** In a controlled experiment, reviewers given an AI review concentrated on the spots it pointed at and found no more serious problems. The least experienced are the most exposed.
- **How you use the AI decides whether you learn.** In Anthropic's randomised trial, developers who handed work to the AI learned much less; those who asked it to explain, and checked their own understanding, kept most of the learning.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add r-hatim/hrih-skills/review-apprentice@sha256:334a4d82621dc2b8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.4f88b2f, 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.
