Audit code, tests, and prose for artful simplicity; use for readability, design, refactoring, over-engineering, and redundancy reviews.
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
# Artful simplicity A unit is simple when a cold reader can name its one idea, predict its contents from its name, and keep nothing unrelated in mind. Tests state observable behavior and invariants; prose spends exactly the words it needs. Local reading judges clarity, not necessity. Rewrite may follow from sight only if no observer sees behavior change; delete, fold, and move require, respectively, proof of reachability and consequence, equivalence across observable states and transitions, and independent agreement on the boundary. Seek contradictions, not volume. Before changing behavior, name the change, the observer, the safety direction, and the broken alternative. Direction decides, not size.

How to install
mdr add transparent-pegasus/artful-simplicity/artful-simplicity@sha256:eccc88d9eb0c37f6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.310e8c5, 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.
