Use when the user asks for a code review, audit, pre-PR check, quality sweep, or pattern analysis of a diff, branch, module, or codebase. Also use when the user asks to "check" or "look over" their code for issues.
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
# kanso-audit Code review that reports findings, proposes concrete fixes, and — on approval — either hands cleanup off to `/kanso-refactor` or applies the fix in place. The principles from `kanso-principles` govern both the findings and the fixes. Four phases: - **Phase A — Investigation.** Read-only. Gather context and produce the findings report using the framework below. The skill's `allowed-tools` deliberately exclude Edit/Write so the investigation cannot modify files. - **Phase B — Proposal.** Translate Tier 1 and Tier 2 findings into a numbered list. Tag each entry by *shape*: `refactor` (behaviour-preserving) or `behaviour-change` (correctness, security, architecture). Show the list in the approval block and wait. - **Phase C — Apply.** - For `refactor`-shaped fixes → hand off to `/kanso-refactor audit-report`. That skill already enforces the behaviour-preserving rule, has the refactor taxonomy, and knows how to split work into commit-able groups. Don't reimplement it here. …

How to install
mdr add blakecyze/skills/kanso-audit@sha256:70af71e80ae958e0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.d29810e, 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.
