Clarifies selected stories before execution planning by establishing goal, scope, and key examples in each story's seed, distinguishing promises from rejection constraints. Adds UI or architectural detail only when needed. Continues a ready story into slice planning in the same workspace; `--refine-only` stops at the refined story. `--one-shot` refines a queued story without publishing an assignment and keeps the result for review, or lands it with `--auto-land`. Use for selected-story…
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
# Story refinement Build shared understanding of one selected story, or several related stories whose boundaries need discussion. Record Goal, Scope, and Key examples in each story's seed. ## Choose the workflow If the parent problem, candidate selection, or story ordering needs reconsideration, use [dough-story-decomposition](../dough-story-decomposition/SKILL.md). For smaller or clearer slices, use the project's execution-plan refinement workflow on the existing plan. A refinement invocation authorizes slice planning of its story and landing the completed preparation under [preparation journey](references/preparation-journey.md); it authorizes no execution. Continue into planning without repeating answered questions. ## Resolve required context Identify this project's root, selected story links and seeds, and relevant prior decisions. When a seed is missing, resolve the canonical seed directory, ID and filename conventions, required metadata, and stable story-anchor convention. Resolve project paths from that repository, not this skill's location. Resolve the project's slice-planning workflow for the continuation, and ADR …

How to install
mdr add nerds-odd-e/doughnut/dough-story-refinement@sha256:a4aa8fea7def016cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.55007da, 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.
