ccc-prompt-optimize

ccc-prompt-optimize is a command for coding agents from KevinZai/commander. It costs 30 tokens per session (444 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of prompt-optimize, MIT.

A command that reviews a draft prompt and returns a clearer, more detailed version prepared for Claude Code. It advises on the task but does not run it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve prompts for features, bug fixes, refactoring, research, testing, reviews, documentation, infrastructure, or design tasks.
Why use it?
It helps reveal missing context, estimate task complexity, and choose relevant project guidance before work begins.

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

ccc-prompt-optimize 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 today.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to prompt-optimize — 9 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

/prompt-optimize

Analyze and optimize the following prompt for maximum ECC leverage.

Your Task

Apply the prompt-optimizer skill to the user's input below. Follow the 6-phase analysis pipeline:

  1. Project Detection — Read CLAUDE.md, detect tech stack from project files (package.json, go.mod, pyproject.toml, etc.)
  2. Intent Detection — Classify the task type (new feature, bug fix, refactor, research, testing, review, documentation, infrastructure, design)
  3. Scope Assessment — Evaluate complexity (TRIVIAL / LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH / EPIC), using codebase size as signal if detected
  4. ECC Component Matching — Map to specific skills, commands, agents, and model tier
  5. Missing Context Detection — Identify gaps. If 3+ critical items missing, ask the user to clarify before generating
  6. Workflow & Model — Determine lifecycle position, recommend model tier, and split into multiple prompts if HIGH/EPIC

Output Requirements

  • Present diagnosis, recommended ECC components, and an optimized prompt using the Output Format from the prompt-optimizer skill
  • Provide both Full Version (detailed) and Quick Version (compact, varied by intent type)
  • Respond in the same language as the user's input
  • The optimized prompt must be complete and ready to copy-paste into a new session
  • End with a footer offering adjustment or a clear next step for starting a separate execution request

CRITICAL

Do NOT execute the user's task. Output ONLY the analysis and optimized prompt. If the user asks for direct execution, explain that /prompt-optimize only produces advisory output and tell them to start a normal task request instead.

Note: blueprint is a skill, not a slash command. Write "Use the blueprint skill" instead of presenting it as a /... command.

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.
