Captures backlog refinement session outcomes: refined stories, estimates, questions raised, decisions, action items, blockers. Use during or after sessions to share with absent team members.

references/EXAMPLE.mdreferences/TEMPLATE.mdDesigns and optimizes AI agent action spaces, tool definitions, observation formats, error recovery, and context for higher task completion rates.
Enables AI agents to execute x402 payments with per-task budgets, spending controls, and non-custodial wallets via MCP tools. Use when agents pay for APIs, services, or other agents.
Compares coding agents like Claude Code and Aider on custom YAML-defined codebase tasks using git worktrees, measuring pass rate, cost, time, and consistency.
Refinement notes capture the outcomes of backlog refinement (grooming) sessions—what was discussed, what was estimated, and what decisions were made. They serve as a quick reference for team members who missed the session and a historical record of how stories evolved from idea to ready-for-sprint.
When asked to document refinement notes, follow these steps:
Record Session Metadata Note the date, attendees, and duration. This helps track who was part of decisions and when discussions happened.
List Stories Discussed For each story, capture the outcome: estimated points, refined status, key discussion points, and any modifications made to the original scope.
Document Questions Raised Questions that couldn't be answered in the session need owners and due dates. Don't let them disappear—they often block sprint planning.
Capture Decisions Made Record any scope decisions, technical approaches agreed upon, or priority changes. These decisions are valuable context that gets lost without documentation.
Note Action Items Any follow-up work needed before stories are sprint-ready: mockups to create, technical spikes to run, stakeholders to consult.
Flag Blocked Stories Clearly identify stories that can't proceed until blockers are resolved. Include what the blocker is and who owns resolution.
Plan Next Session Note what should be refined next and any preparation needed.
