Refine one or more NSF thrust, aim, or study files after the initial scaffold exists. Use when Codex needs to deepen a core proposal unit with sharper gaps, local literature grounding, concrete technical measures, evaluation hooks, reviewer-facing running examples or artifact sketches, figure ideas, or visible TODO placeholders while preserving alignment with the current intro, summary, and evaluation plan.
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
# NSF Thrust Refiner ## Overview Use this skill after `nsf-proposal-composer` has already created the proposal frame. This skill is optimized for NSF-style proposal units, but it can still refine non-NSF proposal sections when the surrounding call requirements have already been made explicit. In those cases, preserve the given call's structure and constraints rather than re-imposing generic NSF defaults. This skill is for unit-level refinement, not for first-pass structure: - `composer` decides the family, scaffold, and cross-section frame - `thrust-refiner` deepens 1-2 concrete thrusts or aims at a time Use it when the user asks for work such as: - refine the current thrust or aim - brainstorm stronger technical ideas inside a unit - add a small amount of local literature grounding while refining the unit - make a vague method more concrete - add local evaluation hooks - think through a figure for a thrust - leave visible TODOs for unresolved citations or collaborator facts If the request goes beyond a local figure concept and needs an actual figure brief, downstream prompt pack, or outside-tool handoff, switch to `figure-prompt-builder`. …

How to install
mdr add yzhao062/agent-config/nsf-thrust-refiner@sha256:002e521d74956e5dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260406.2404ea5, 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.
