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

# Autonomous Design Refinement

Multi-pass workflow that refines requirements documents (PRD, technical design, assumptions, and any supporting materials they reference) to implementation-ready state. Each pass runs `implementation-readiness-check` for a small, ranked batch of questions, investigates them one at a time, folds each answer into the documents the moment it is known, and records progress in a state file on disk — so an interrupted run loses at most the questions in flight (three or fewer) and resumes from where it stopped.

The name says which stage it serves. `autonomous-prd-refinement` refines a draft PRD on its own, before any design exists; this skill runs once the technical design exists and refines the PRD, design and assumptions together.

## What Is This Skill?

This skill automates the loop humans do manually: run a readiness check, get questions, investigate them, update the requirements documents, check again, find the new questions the updates exposed, and repeat until the documents are solid enough to implement against.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ensodynamics/enso-method/autonomous-design-refinement@sha256:e4097f1689a5c164

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.b46e48d, 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.
