What is structure-prompt?

A prompt-writing workflow that turns a rough request into a clear, reusable instruction for an AI agent.

Use it when you need a copyable production prompt. It applies only the prompting guidelines that fit the request and reports which ones it used.

It makes requirements, constraints, verification, structure, and search priorities explicit before the task begins.

structure-prompt — Command for Claude Code and Cursor by emaraschio

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/emaraschio/cursor-commands

Made for: Claude Code, Cursor.

Or install cursor-commands, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 44 skills, 43 commands.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00035	$0.00655
Opus 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00262
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00131
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00065

Security

Grade A, and why

structure-prompt 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 2mo 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 — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Compose a copyable, structured prompt from a rough ask by applying only the prompting dimensions that fit, then report what was applied or omitted. Produces a prompt; does not run the task. Full workflow: .cursor/skill-contracts/structure-prompt/SKILL.md (user install: ~/.cursor/skill-contracts/structure-prompt/SKILL.md).

Defaults

Setting	Default
Dimensions	Apply only those that fit (product verification, structured high-stakes, constraints-upfront, scannable structure, search priority, internal-first)
Effort	Proportional to stakes; trivial asks get a light prompt, not the full template
Output	One copyable prompt block + an applied/omitted note
Model	Model-agnostic; no hardcoded model names or canonical leaked-prompt claims
Examples	Generic names only (`service-a`)

Steps

Read .cursor/skill-contracts/structure-prompt/SKILL.md for the full agent contract; if that file is missing, read ~/.cursor/skill-contracts/structure-prompt/SKILL.md.
Execute phases in order (Intake -> Classify -> Fill template -> Deliver).
Report the structured prompt and the applied/omitted dimension note in chat.

Anti-patterns

Match effort to stakes. Trigger: a simple or one-line request. Wrong: bolting on all six dimensions and dumping the full template. Correct: produce a light prompt proportional to the ask and note which dimensions are not applicable. Reason: over-engineering a trivial ask wastes the user's time and buries the actual request.
Produce the prompt, do not run it. Trigger: finishing the structured prompt. Wrong: executing the underlying task the prompt describes. Correct: return the copyable prompt and stop. Reason: this skill builds prompts, and running the task skips the user's review of the prompt.
Do not invent product facts. Trigger: the prompt asks about a tool's current capabilities. Wrong: asserting pricing, APIs, or a model name from memory. Correct: add a clause to verify against current docs and flag that product knowledge may be stale. Reason: stale or invented product claims propagate into every downstream answer.

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.

structure-prompt is a command published in the GitHub repository emaraschio/cursor-commands (9 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 655 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
