generate-prp

generate-prp is a command for Claude Code from coleam00/context-engineering-intro. It costs 0 tokens per session (583 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for creating a PRP, a detailed implementation plan that gives an AI agent the research and project context needed to build a feature.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a feature description to produce a researched plan covering similar code, libraries, implementation examples, best practices, and open decisions.
Why use it?
It reduces missing context by combining codebase analysis, external research, documentation links, examples, testing patterns, and any needed questions.

Command for Claude Code

About the project

Context Engineering Template is a repository of instructions, examples, workflows, and validation practices that give AI coding assistants the information they need to complete software tasks. It is for developers working with Claude Code or other coding assistants, and the catalogue entries package parts of its workflow as commands, agents, instructions, and a skill.

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

generate-prp 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.

Create PRP

Feature file: $ARGUMENTS

Generate a complete PRP for general feature implementation with thorough research. Ensure context is passed to the AI agent to enable self-validation and iterative refinement. Read the feature file first to understand what needs to be created, how the examples provided help, and any other considerations.

The AI agent only gets the context you are appending to the PRP and training data. Assuma the AI agent has access to the codebase and the same knowledge cutoff as you, so its important that your research findings are included or referenced in the PRP. The Agent has Websearch capabilities, so pass urls to documentation and examples.

Research Process

  1. Codebase Analysis

    • Search for similar features/patterns in the codebase
    • Identify files to reference in PRP
    • Note existing conventions to follow
    • Check test patterns for validation approach
  2. External Research

    • Search for similar features/patterns online
    • Library documentation (include specific URLs)
    • Implementation examples (GitHub/StackOverflow/blogs)
    • Best practices and common pitfalls
  3. User Clarification (if needed)

    • Specific patterns to mirror and where to find them?
    • Integration requirements and where to find them?

PRP Generation

Using PRPs/templates/prp_base.md as template:

Critical Context to Include and pass to the AI agent as part of the PRP

  • Documentation: URLs with specific sections
  • Code Examples: Real snippets from codebase
  • Gotchas: Library quirks, version issues
  • Patterns: Existing approaches to follow

Implementation Blueprint

  • Start with pseudocode showing approach
  • Reference real files for patterns
  • Include error handling strategy
  • list tasks to be completed to fullfill the PRP in the order they should be completed

Validation Gates (Must be Executable) eg for python

# Syntax/Style
ruff check --fix && mypy .

# Unit Tests
uv run pytest tests/ -v

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.

generate-prp is a command published in the GitHub repository coleam00/context-engineering-intro (13,822 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 583 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
