DeepRefine-Skill plugs into agent workflows and use a single command /deeprefine in your agent CLI to refine and evolve your LLM-Wiki (e.g., graphify) knowledge base.
It refines your graphify knowledge graph for better future retrieval and Q&A quality.
Supported agent frameworks:
- [2026/6/18] unreleased - Gemini CLI supported.
- [2026/6/17] unreleased - Added dry-run-first refinement, evidence-aware action review, ambiguous-node warnings, and LOW-confidence apply guard.
- [2026/6/15] v0.1.8 - Aligned interaction memory with LLM-Wiki (graphify) and fixed the single query refinement issue.
- [2026/6/2] v0.1.7 — Cursor skill +
deeprefine refinewith configurable API. And strict DeepRefine agent loop.
This is the default mode and the main workflow for this project.

cd /path/to/your-kb-project
graphify cursor install

deeprefine cursor install

/deeprefineProcedures:
When you run /deeprefine, it should follow this order:
deeprefine history sync-memory- import queries from
graphify-out/memory/query_*.md - write to
graphify-out/.deeprefine/history.jsonl
- import queries from
- load pending queries from
history.jsonl(refined != true) - refine pending queries sequentially
- for refinement-path queries, generate
<refinement>actions and rundeeprefine review - stop in dry-run mode and show the review report; do not modify
graph.jsonyet - only after user approval, run
deeprefine applyand thendeeprefine loop finish

deeprefine loop validate --trace-file T |
Validate trace against Reafiner control flow |
deeprefine review --trace-file T --refinement-file F |
Review proposed actions with HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW evidence labels; no graph write |
deeprefine apply --trace-file T --refinement-file F |
Apply <refinement> actions to graph.json after approval; refuses LOW by default |

Override LOW-confidence guard explicitly |
deeprefine loop finish --trace-file T [--refinement-file F] |
Persist results and mark history refined |
/deeprefine should default to dry-run-first behavior. Proposed actions are reviewed before they can modify graphify-out/graph.json. Each action is labeled:
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
HIGH |
Direct graph or code evidence exists. |
MEDIUM |
k-hop context supports the action, but direct code or exact-edge evidence is missing. |
LOW |
Node names are ambiguous, too broad, cross-community, or cannot be grounded in graph.json. |
Bare function names such as main(), run(), train(), test(), and setup() are treated as ambiguous. Prefer file-qualified names:
BAD: insert_edge("main()", "calls", "Trainer")
GOOD: insert_edge("pretraining/pretraining_CLIP_fine-grained.py::main()", "calls", "Trainer")
deeprefine apply refuses LOW-confidence actions by default. Use --allow-low-confidence only when the user explicitly accepts the risk.
Setup, commands, and session usage
DeepRefine works as a GitHub Copilot CLI agent skill. The skill file is
installed into .github/skills/deeprefine/SKILL.md and auto-discovered by
Copilot. Shell commands are pre-approved via allowed-tools: shell.
cd /path/to/your-kb-project
pip install deeprefine-cli
deeprefine copilot install --projectAfter upgrading the package, run deeprefine copilot install --project again
to refresh the local skill file. Start a Copilot CLI session and reload:
/skills reload
/skills info deeprefine
Copilot CLI does not natively support sub-commands, so the skill uses keyword-based mode detection in the SKILL.md preamble:
| Mode | Trigger keywords | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Full workflow | /deeprefine, "refine", "improve", "fix" |
Full Reafiner loop; stops after dry-run review; asks for approval |
| Review only | "review", "check", "audit", "inspect", "dry-run" | Reads trace + refinement file; shows HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW report; no graph writes |
| Apply only | "approve", "apply", "write", "go ahead" | Runs deeprefine apply only after a prior review; requires explicit user approval in the current message |
/deeprefine
The agent runs the full Reafiner loop for all pending queries. For refinement-path queries, it stops after the dry-run review and asks:
[HIGH] insert_edge("trainer.py::train_epoch()", "calls", "validate()")
Evidence: Direct code evidence in trainer.py.
[MEDIUM] insert_edge("data.py::load()", "imports", "torch")
Warning: No direct code evidence found.
Apply only after review. Approve?
Reply "apply" or "go ahead" to proceed; the agent will run
deeprefine apply in the follow-up turn.
Setup, commands, and session usage
DeepRefine can also be used as a Gemini CLI extension. This keeps the same safe,
dry-run-first DeepRefine workflow while making /deeprefine available inside
Gemini CLI.
cd /path/to/DeepRefine-Skill
pip install -e .
deeprefine gemini linkdeeprefine gemini link calls Gemini CLI's official extension manager:
gemini extensions link /path/to/DeepRefine-SkillRestart Gemini CLI after linking. Then check:
/extensions list
/commands list
Expected commands:
/deeprefine
/deeprefine:review
/deeprefine:apply
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
deeprefine gemini path |
Print the extension root used for Gemini CLI |
deeprefine gemini link |
Link the current source checkout with gemini extensions link |
deeprefine gemini install |
Install the bundled extension with gemini extensions install |
deeprefine gemini install --copy-only |
Manual fallback copy to ~/.gemini/extensions/deeprefine-skill |
deeprefine gemini uninstall |
Remove the extension with Gemini CLI's manager |
For normal source development, prefer deeprefine gemini link. It makes the
extension visible to /extensions list, whereas copying files alone may not
register the extension in newer Gemini CLI versions.
geminiThen run:
/deeprefine
/deeprefine:review "Why is the graph missing the data loading path?"
/deeprefine:apply "Apply the approved refinement actions from the valid trace."
The extension files are located at the repository root and are also bundled under
deeprefine_skill/gemini_extension/ for wheel installs. See
docs/gemini-cli.md for details.
