deeprefine

deeprefine is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HKUST-KnowComp/DeepRefine-Skill. It costs 42 tokens per session (4,737 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of deeprefine, MIT.

A review workflow for refining a knowledge graph, which is a connected collection of facts and relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search related graph information, generate refinement proposals, validate them, review their risk levels, and apply changes only after explicit approval.
Why use it?
It shows proposed changes and a risk review before anything is written to the graph, helping prevent unapproved updates.

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

deeprefine 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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to deeprefine — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

DeepRefine — Agent refinement loop (strict)

Default safety policy: dry-run only

A normal /deeprefine invocation MUST NEVER call deeprefine apply.

The default /deeprefine workflow must stop after:

  1. deeprefine loop validate
  2. deeprefine review
  3. showing the proposed actions and HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW review report to the user

Then ask the user for explicit approval.

Only if the user's next message explicitly says to approve/apply/write the graph may you run:

deeprefine apply --refresh-wiki --trace-file ... --refinement-file ...
deeprefine loop finish --trace-file ... --refinement-file ...

Do not treat generation of <refinement> actions as approval. Do not treat a valid trace as approval. Do not apply in the same /deeprefine turn.


You MUST implement the same control flow as DeepRefine.refine() in DeepRefine (autorefiner/src/deeprefine.py).

Component Agent mode CLI deeprefine refine
Retrieval graphify query + k-hop from graph.json FAISS retriever
LLM Your session model External API / vLLM
Graph writes Dry-run proposal + deeprefine review; deeprefine apply only after user approval Dry-run by default; --apply persists

FORBIDDEN (hard stop)

Do NOT:

  1. Run deeprefine refine (unless the user explicitly asks for CLI/FAISS mode).
  2. Call deeprefine apply without a valid loop_trace_<query_id>.json (CLI will reject).
  3. Call deeprefine apply before running deeprefine review and receiving explicit user approval.
  4. Ignore LOW-confidence review warnings unless the user explicitly requests --allow-low-confidence.
  5. Skip any hop’s <judge>Yes</judge> / <judge>No</judge> judgement.
  6. Skip error abduction when len(interaction_history) > 1.
  7. Write <refinement> before abduction when refinement is required.
  8. Hand-edit graph.json with Python or ad-hoc JSON patches.
  9. Ignore pending history and refine only one latest query when unrefined queries already exist.
  10. Invent a shorter pipeline (“read file → write refinement → apply”).

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.
