/prompt Command

Command for creating or optimizing prompts using the prompt-engineer agent.

Usage

/prompt [action] [description]

Actions

| Action | Description | |--------|-------------| | `create` | Create a new prompt | | `optimize` | Improve an existing prompt | | `agent` | Design a complete agent | | `review` | Analyze an existing prompt |

Workflow

1. Action Detection

IF $ARGUMENTS contains "create" or "new":
  → Action: CREATE
IF $ARGUMENTS contains "optimize" or "improve":
  → Action: OPTIMIZE
IF $ARGUMENTS contains "agent" or "assistant":
  → Action: AGENT_DESIGN
IF $ARGUMENTS contains "review" or "analyze":
  → Action: REVIEW
ELSE:
  → Ask for clarification

2. Agent Launch

Launch prompt-engineer agent with:
- Appropriate skill loaded
- User context
- Identified constraints

3. Workflow Execution

**For CREATE:** 1. Identify prompt type (system, task, few-shot, meta) 2. Identify constraints (model, format, domain) 3. Apply the 9-element Anthropic structure 4. Generate prompt with appropriate techniques 5. Validate with quality checklist

**For OPTIMIZE:** 1. Analyze current prompt 2. Identify issues (clarity, structure, completeness, guardrails) 3. Apply corrections 4. Generate before/after report 5. Propose optimized prompt

**For AGENT_DESIGN:** 1. Define identity and purpose 2. Choose architecture pattern 3. Define workflow 4. Configure tools and skills 5. Implement guardrails 6. Generate complete agent.md file

**For REVIEW:** 1. Analyze according to checklist 2. Score each criterion (clarity, structure, completeness, guardrails) 3. Identify strengths and weaknesses 4. Propose recommendations

Examples

Create a system prompt

/prompt create a technical support assistant for a mobile app

Optimize an existing prompt

/prompt optimize [paste the prompt to improve]

Design an agent

/prompt agent a Python-specialized code reviewer
