Use when asked to evaluate, review, or score a story or bug for quality, readiness, or completeness - especially when a product owner wants feedback before refinement or sprint planning. Supports Jira, Azure DevOps, or pasted content.
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 Prefinement Reviewer ## Overview Prefinement is the art of preparing a story so developers ask minimal questions and have maximal understanding. Use this skill to evaluate a story or bug against a proven framework and give product owners specific, actionable feedback. **Refinement Standard (the North Star):** A fully refined story satisfies all three: 1. The **purpose** is clearly understood and documented 2. The **acceptance criteria** are clearly understood and documented 3.

How to install
mdr add sean-m-cooper/ai_tools/story-prefinement@sha256:95b807acabe6a432The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260524.e7c16fb, 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.
