/project-refine

Scope an idea up to ready, or break it into tasks.

What it does

Three sub-modes over one project: refine its notes and references, scope a raw idea until it is genuinely startable, or decompose a scoped project into tasks. Promotion from idea to ready always needs your explicit say-so — the skill will not quietly decide something is ready.

When to reach for it

When a project row exists but you could not start it tomorrow without thinking first.

It's working if

  • It tells you a project is not ready yet, and names the specific unknown that is blocking it.
  • The tasks it writes are ones you could check off, not headings you would have to interpret first.
  • References it digs up land on the project itself, not in the conversation that produced them.

Install this skill

Then type /project-refine in your agent.

npx skills@latest add smorinlabs/smorinlabs-harness -s project-refine

Or install the whole project-harness plugin — this skill plus 4 others.

/plugin install project-harness@smorinlabs-harness

Where it fits

  • /project-add — the step before — creates the row this refines.
  • /question-walkthrough — the general-purpose version, for questions that are not about one project.
