How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Few-Shot Example Generation Skill

Capabilities

  • Generate diverse few-shot examples
  • Implement example selection strategies
  • Optimize example ordering for performance
  • Create dynamic example retrieval
  • Design example formats for specific tasks
  • Implement example quality validation

Target Processes

  • prompt-engineering-workflow
  • intent-classification-system

Implementation Details

Example Selection Strategies

1. **Semantic Similarity**: Select similar examples 2. **MMR Selection**: Diverse example selection 3. **N-Gram Overlap**: Lexical similarity 4. **Random Sampling**: Baseline selection 5. **Length-Based**: Control example sizes

Configuration Options

  • Number of examples
  • Selection algorithm
  • Example format (input/output structure)
  • Max token limits
  • Example store backend

Best Practices

  • Cover edge cases in examples
  • Balance example diversity
  • Optimize example ordering
  • Test with varied inputs
  • Monitor token usage

Dependencies

  • langchain
  • sentence-transformers (for semantic selection)
