Refine a development ticket — or brainstorm a raw idea — into a validated, self-contained REQUIREMENTS document — the "what", verified against the codebase. Invoke manually only.

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 ticket

The **Refine** phase of Refine → Plan → Act: turn a raw ticket — or an idea to brainstorm — into a
validated requirements document a fresh session can plan from. Analysis only — it defines **what**
must be true when the work is done, never **how** to build it, and never touches code.

An idea is a ticket that doesn't exist yet: treat the user's words as the ticket text, and grill
to shape the idea itself — goal, in vs out of scope — before closing the branches that block
implementation.

## Input

A `.TICKET.md` path, a ticket URL or bare id, or an idea in words. When the harness has subagents
and fetch-ticket is available (`../fetch-ticket/SKILL.md` beside this skill), a URL or id is
fetched first by a subagent per fetch-ticket's [delegate.md](../fetch-ticket/delegate.md) — one
ticket per run; several → point at a fetch session instead, which handles sets. A non-empty warn
list stops for one question: supply the files now (`/attach-to-ticket` when available; answered
by running it → resume with the supplied files once it reports) or refine without them. The
fetched file is then the local ticket file. No subagents, or fetch-ticket not available → read
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eai-org/agent-toolkit/refine-ticket@sha256:0e7b39ce2aa45430

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.22, 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.
