Description
prompt-engineering is an agent skill that is an expert guide to prompt engineering patterns, best practices and optimisation techniques for large language models. It covers techniques for making model output more reliable and controllable. Its first pattern is few-shot learning, which teaches the model by showing two to five example input and output pairs rather than explaining the rules. It is useful for consistent formatting, specific reasoning patterns and edge cases, and the skill notes that more examples improve accuracy but use more tokens, so the number should be balanced against the complexity of the task. Use it when you want to improve a prompt, learn prompting strategies, or get more consistent output from a model. 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 1,400 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill prompt-engineering.…

prompt-engineering FAQ
What is few-shot prompting?
Teaching the model with two to five example input and output pairs that show the behaviour you want.
Are more examples always better?
The skill says more examples improve accuracy but consume tokens, so the number should be balanced to the task.
When is it useful?
For consistent formatting, specific reasoning patterns and edge cases.
How do I install it?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill prompt-engineering.
Is it checked for security?
Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk.
