About prompt-engineer

prompt-engineer
Transforms user prompts into optimized prompts using frameworks
prompt-engineer is an agent skill that turns raw, unstructured prompts into optimised prompts, using established prompting frameworks. It names a set of frameworks it can apply, including RTF, RISEN, Chain of Thought, RODES, Chain of Density, RACE, RISE, STAR, SOAP, CLEAR and GROW. It analyses the intent behind a request, judges how complex the task is, and picks the framework or frameworks most likely to produce good output from Claude or ChatGPT. The skill works quietly in what it calls magic mode, giving you a polished prompt without technical explanation, and it asks you a question only when clarification is critical. It is a general skill that works in any terminal context, not only in one vault or project. Use it when a request is vague, when you have a complex idea that is hard to phrase, when a prompt lacks structure or context, or when you want to improve an existing prompt. It is part of the sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 47,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 1,600 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk.
