Use when transforming raw issues or feature requests into well-structured user stories with acceptance criteria. Covers user story format, INVEST criteria, acceptance criteria patterns, story splitting techniques, DoR 8-item gate, and 8 antipatterns to detect.
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
# Issue Refinement
## Overview
Issue refinement transforms raw GitHub issues into implementable user stories with acceptance criteria. Applied at the DISCUSS phase, output feeds DISTILL (where Gherkin scenarios are produced) and DESIGN (where architecture is decided).
A story is the unit of work. A story is NOT a task, NOT a ticket, NOT a technical instruction. A story describes what a user needs and why.

## User Story Format
### Template
```
As a {specific persona},
I want {capability},
so that {concrete benefit}.
```
### Rules
| Part | Rule | Violation signal |
|---|---|---|
| Persona | Must be a named role, not "user" | "a user", "someone", "the system" |
| Capability | Observable behaviour, not implementation | "implement", "create", "call", "build" |
| Benefit | Concrete business value, not technical outcome | "the system works", "it is done" |
### Auto-Insurance Domain Examples
**Good:**
```
As a new driver applying for their first insurance policy,
I want to check my eligibility before submitting documents,
so that I know in advance whether my profile qualifies and can prepare accordingly.
```
```
As an underwriter reviewing a borderline application,

How to install
mdr add sebastiendegodez/skraft-plugin/issue-refinement@sha256:2ea9f251aee78dfeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.2406fc7, 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.
