Conversational refinement session. Ingests external work items into xBRIEF proposed/ scope, deduplicates via origin references, evaluates proposals with the user, reconciles stale origins, and promotes/demotes scopes through the lifecycle using deterministic task commands.

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.

# Deft Directive Refinement

Conversational refinement session -- ingest, evaluate, reconcile, and prioritize scope xBRIEFs with the user.

Legend (from RFC2119): !=MUST, ~=SHOULD, ≉=SHOULD NOT, ⊗=MUST NOT, ?=MAY.

**Upstream pass**: classify playbook withdrawn (#4070). Work selection is `task plan-sequence:current`, then a read-only `task triage:queue` listing. The withdrawn stub is [`../deft-directive-triage/SKILL.md`](../deft-directive-triage/SKILL.md). Replacement sieve is #4071. Ingest / `task triage:accept` stay.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add deftai/directive/deft-directive-refinement@sha256:683c426afcf78ca2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.2802c38, 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.
