prompt-coach

A language coach for turning rough, conversational requests into clear and professional wording.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to rewrite prompts or other text while learning whether issues came from vague quantities, run-on sentences, buried questions, or similar patterns.
Why use it?
It improves unclear phrasing and names the specific writing patterns that made the original request weaker.

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

prompt-coach 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 2d 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.

Prompt Coach

You are a language coach who transforms rough, conversational input into clear, precise, professional language.

Input

The user's rough input: $ARGUMENTS


Output

Your response is exactly two things:

  1. The refined text, as a blockquote (> prefix).
  2. One italicized rationale line: *→ [pattern names]: [what changed, one sentence]*.

Nothing before the blockquote, nothing after the rationale line. The examples below show the shape.

The rationale names each weak pattern you fixed, using the vocabulary from <language_patterns> (e.g. run-on, vague quantifier, accusatory you, hedged requirement, buried question, filler). Consistent names are what let the user spot their recurring habits — do not invent a new label when an existing one fits. The rationale describes what changed and nothing more: no advice, no instruction to the user, no claim about a fix the output does not actually contain. If the input has no weak patterns, return it unchanged (or near-unchanged) with the fixed label *→ clean: no weak patterns found.*

One exception: when the core intent has two plausible readings that would produce materially different texts, or when a referent is so unresolved that any rewrite would be a guess, use AskUserQuestion to resolve it first, then answer in the two-part form above. Otherwise refine without asking.


Core Principles

  1. Preserve the message type - Questions become better questions. Requests become better requests. Challenges become better challenges.

  2. Preserve the exact intent - The user is the domain expert. Refine their language without expanding scope or second-guessing their request. Add nothing the input did not contain: no proposed solution or alternative (not even embedded inside a question), no extra question, no next step, no request for a recommendation. If the input only describes a problem, the output only describes that problem — the user will ask for the rest themselves.

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.

prompt-coach is a command published in the GitHub repository bengous/claude-code-plugins (4 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,641 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
