Cynical Sally is an opinionated code review tool that scores your code 0 to 10 and backs up its verdict with specific issues and actionable fixes. Install it as a CLI with `npm i -g @cynicalsally/cli` or connect it as an MCP server in Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf. It exposes six operations: roast (comprehensive review with quality scores), explain (plain English breakdowns of spaghetti code), refactor (side-by-side comparisons), PR review (full diff analysis), brainstorm (architecture sanity checks), and frontend/marketing reviews. You can target files, directories, staged changes, or branch diffs. The `--dry-run` flag shows exactly what gets sent before transmission, and sensitive files like `.env` or SSH keys are filtered locally. Reach for it when you want brutally honest feedback without the politeness tax of human review.
