Read-only sizing assessment of one existing bead: keep whole, clarify, or split into independently valuable outcomes, possibly under an epic. Hands any approved change to /triage; never writes.
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
# Refine Is this bead the right size? Take one existing bead and judge whether it should stay whole, be clarified, or become smaller independently valuable outcomes. Keeping it whole is a legitimate result, not a failure to help. Splitting is a judgement, not a default. This skill is advice-only. It reads the bead and its surroundings, applies the shared [sizing criteria](../beads/references/sizing.md), and renders one verdict. Every tracker mutation — description rewrite, child creation, relationship change, owner-to-epic conversion — belongs to [triage refine mode](../triage/SKILL.md#refine-mode-existing-bead), which owns the proposal, confirmation, and write path. There is no second writer here. ## Invocation and scope ```text /refine <bead-id> # Claude Code /refine <repo>:<bead-id> # repo-qualified when the ID exists in several stores /refine <bead-id> <steer> # optional steer, e.g. "is this really two jobs?" /skill:refine <bead-id> # Pi ``` In Codex, request the skill by name with the same selector. A bead selector is required: do not pick from a backlog, infer a bead from the branch, or assess a prompt that is not yet …

How to install
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/refine@sha256:59692f4cec72175cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, 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.
