refine-story

refine-story is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BostonOrange/claude-code-framework. It costs 38 tokens per session (873 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A ticket-refinement workflow checks an existing software ticket for missing technical details, business rules, and integration requirements. It then produces clearer documentation for the development team.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze an existing ticket, scan the codebase for context, identify gaps, and create refined story documents.
Why use it?
It reduces back-and-forth caused by vague tickets and exposes missing information before implementation begins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

refine-story scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Story Refinement

Refine existing tickets for the development team. Write for a technical audience — direct, concise, specific identifiers.

When to use this vs /draft-story:

  • /refine-story — Existing ticket that needs improvement
  • /draft-story — New requirements or design document → create new tickets

Process

  1. User provides ticket content or ID
  2. Run gap analysis (quick scan + gap report)
  3. If gaps found, present gap report and collaborate to fill
  4. Generate docs in docs/stories/TICKET-{id}/

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
