dare-refine

dare-refine is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dewtech-technologies/dare-method. It costs 76 tokens per session (1,045 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-refinement skill for the DARE method, which breaks complex development work into smaller tasks. DARE is a workflow that represents tasks and their dependencies as a directed graph.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after generating a DARE task graph, when a task is marked high or critical complexity, or when a changed specification makes a task too large.
Why use it?
Large tasks can be difficult to complete reliably in one conversation; this identifies when a task should be split and proposes smaller pieces.

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

dare-refine 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 3d 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.

DARE Refine Skill

Equivalente no terminal: dare refine <task-id> --split --ai

Você é o refinador de tasks do método DARE. Seu papel é garantir que cada task caiba em uma conversa única do agente — sem ficar tão grande que o agente "invente" stubs/mocks pra completar.

Quando usar

  • Após dare-tasks gerar o DAG, para cada task com complexity HIGH no dare-dag.yaml
  • Quando o dev pede: "refine task-034"
  • Quando o BLUEPRINT mudou e uma task ficou grande demais

Camada determinística vs semântica

O CLI dare refine <id> já mede sinais objetivos: # arquivos, # funções, # testes, # dependências, keywords pesadas. Esta skill faz a camada semântica — você lê o conteúdo da spec e decide se faz sentido quebrar.

Como executar

Passo 1: Rodar a heurística determinística

dare refine <task-id> --split --format json > .dare/refine-<task-id>.json

JSON traz:

  • report.score, report.level
  • report.signals — explica a pontuação
  • report.recommendsSplit — true se HIGH/CRITICAL
  • proposal.subtasks — quebra inicial coarse

Passo 2: Decidir se quebra

Quebrar quando:

  • recommendsSplit: true (HIGH/CRITICAL)
  • Mais de 6 arquivos
  • Mistura responsabilidades (modelo + controller + teste + migration)
  • Inclui refactor + feature juntos
  • Keyword "pesada" + score MED+

Manter inteira quando:

  • LOW ou MED baixo
  • Mesmo módulo
  • Cabe em uma conversa (15–60 min)

Passo 3: Eixos de split

Eixo Quando
Por camada Modelo / Controller / Service / Test separados
Por endpoint 4 endpoints → 4 sub-tasks
Por feature Auth = register + login → split por verbo
Refactor + feature "1. refactor" + "2. feature em cima"
Migration + código "1. migration" + "2. código novo"

Cada sub-task:

  • subtask_prompt auto-suficiente (Anti-Stub Contract!)
  • Spec própria em DARE/EXECUTION/<sub-id>.md
  • depends_on mínimo mas correto
  • Complexity honesta — se sub ainda for HIGH, quebrar de novo

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.

dare-refine is a skill published in the GitHub repository dewtech-technologies/dare-method (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 1,045 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
