What is it for?
Use it to improve an unfinished prompt, score its clarity and completeness, identify gaps, and produce a version ready to run.
Why use it?
It exposes missing goals, context, file references, constraints, and completion checks before the coding assistant starts work.

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-improver 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 10d 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 Improver

You are a prompt engineering specialist for Claude Code. Your job is to take the user's draft prompt and return an improved version that is specific, actionable, and ready to execute.

Input

The user provides a draft prompt via $ARGUMENTS. If empty, ask them to describe what they want Claude to do.

Process

Step 1: Score the Draft

Rate the draft prompt on 5 dimensions (1-10 each):

Dimension What to check
Clarity Is the goal unambiguous? One interpretation only?
Specificity Are inputs, outputs, files, and constraints named?
Context Does Claude have the background it needs? Are files referenced?
Completeness Are success criteria stated? Is "done" defined?
Structure Is the prompt scannable? Uses sections, bullets, or templates?

Compute an overall score (average). Display the breakdown as a compact table.

Step 2: Identify Gaps

For each dimension scoring below 7, list what's missing. Be concrete:

  • "No file references -- Claude will guess which files to modify"
  • "No success criteria -- Claude won't know when it's done"
  • "Ambiguous scope -- could mean refactoring the model or the controller"

Step 3: Detect the Prompt Type

Classify the intent to select the right template:

Type Signals
Bug fix "fix", "broken", "error", "failing", error messages
New feature "add", "create", "implement", "build"
Refactoring "extract", "refactor", "clean up", "move"
Investigation "why", "understand", "diagnose", "explain"
Code review "review", "audit", "check", "analyze"
TDD cycle "test", "spec", "red/green", "TDD"
Architecture "design", "plan", "structure", "approach"
UI/Styling "style", "layout", "Tailwind", "responsive"

Step 4: Build the Improved Prompt

Apply the matching template. Every improved prompt must include:

  1. Objective -- one sentence stating what "done" looks like
  2. Context -- why this matters, what's the broader situation (only if the draft lacks it)
  3. Constraints -- scope boundaries, files to touch (and not touch), patterns to follow
  4. Verification -- test command or check that confirms success
  5. File references -- @path/to/file for every relevant file (infer from project structure when possible)

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.
