library

library is a command for coding agents from alexmond/alexmskills. It costs 17 tokens per session (783 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An offline lookup for ready-made task prompts from Anthropic's Claude Code Prompt Library. A prompt is an instruction written for an AI coding assistant.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find templates for tasks such as reviewing, debugging, refactoring, or working from a particular role, and to browse the library's categories.
Why use it?
It gives you a reference prompt for a task instead of requiring you to design one from scratch.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

library scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/prompt-coach:library

Look up the closest gold-standard prompt template from Anthropic's Claude Code Prompt Library for a task you describe — turning the coach from corrective ("here's what's wrong with your prompt") into generative ("here's the canonical prompt for what you want to do"). Offline: matches against a vendored snapshot, no network at call time.

What to do

  1. Locate the plugin's scripts/config.py (installed cache path ~/.claude/plugins/cache/alexmskills/prompt-coach/*/scripts/config.py, else the dev checkout).

  2. Route on the argument:

    User intent Run
    "library for <task>" / "show me a prompt for <task>" --json library "<task>"
    "what's in the prompt library?" / no argument --json library (taxonomy)
    "show the <Category> templates" (Review / Debug / Refactor / …) --json library --category <Category>
    "prompts for the <role> role" (security / pm / ops / …) --json library --role <role>

    Always pass --json (before the verb) and --cwd <repo>.

  3. A task query → the JSON gives matches[], each with cat, sdlc, roles, _score, and _filled (the template with its {slots} filled by Anthropic's example values). Present the top 1–3:

    • Show each template verbatim (it's the copy-paste-ready prompt).
    • Note its category / phase / role tags.
    • Offer to adapt the top one to the user's actual context (swap the example slot values — file paths, formats — for theirs) and run it.
    • Cite the source URL (it's Anthropic's library, vendored with attribution).
  4. No query → the JSON gives count, categories, phases. Summarize the taxonomy (5 SDLC phases, 15 categories) and invite a task lookup.

Notes

  • The snapshot lives at data/prompt-library.json; refresh it with scripts/gen-prompt-library.py (fetches the live docs page). It is Anthropic documentation content, vendored with attribution — not this plugin's work.
  • Read-only: this never changes config, mastery, or state.
  • The roles plugin uses --category to anchor each persona (e.g. reviewer--category Review); see the role-system's Prompt Library anchors.
  • The coach ALSO uses this matcher passively: when a rule fires and library_hints is on (default), the collaborator rewrite is grounded in the closest library template's phrasing + slot structure.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
