# Refinement Session
Interactive backlog refinement session. Reviews project mission, current state, backlog items, and documentation to align on priorities and next steps. Bootstraps the backlog in greenfield projects.
## When This Skill Triggers
- "Another refinement session" / "Let's refine" / "Refinement time"
- "Backlog refinement" / "Let's discuss the backlog"
- Any request to review project status and priorities
Note: a bare "what should we work on next?" is **not** sufficient by itself — it often appears in casual prompts where the user just wants a one-line suggestion, not a structured session. Trigger only when the surrounding context indicates the user wants the full refinement flow (mission review, backlog walk, prioritization).
## Workflow
### Step 1: Load Project Context
Discover and read project documentation to understand current state. Look for:
1. **`README.md`** - Project mission and user-facing documentation
2. **Backlog file** - `docs/backlog/README.md`, `BACKLOG.md`, or equivalent
3. **Roadmap** - `docs/roadmap.md` or equivalent
4. **Development principles** - `docs/development-principles.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, or equivalent
Also check:
5. **`git log --oneline -20`** - Recent activity
6. **`git branch -a`** - Active branches
**If no backlog file exists** → go to Step 1b (Bootstrap).
