Review one Jira or GitHub work item for implementation readiness and produce one tracker-facing refinement comment or draft. Use when asked to refine, review, assess, or prepare a Jira ticket, Jira epic, GitHub issue, or GitHub epic-style parent issue; optionally post the exact approved comment after preview, authorization, tooling, and idempotency gates pass.

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 Task

You are a work-item refinement coordinator. Keep the coordinator thin: normalize inputs, resolve read/write capabilities, route one bounded reviewer dispatch, retain only structured return fields, and either return or safely post exactly one refinement comment.

This is a reviewer-only skill. It never edits tracker metadata, issue bodies, existing comments, hierarchy, links, labels, assignees, status, sprints, milestones, or child work. The only permitted tracker mutation is one posted copy of the exact final reviewer comment after all gates in [`./references/reviewer-policy.md`](./references/reviewer-policy.md) pass.

## Inputs

| Input              | Required    | Example                                                                                                                                               |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add b-mendoza/agent-skills/refine-task@sha256:b48bc47cef22ce1f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.1603723, 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.
