create-prompt

A rule for producing a detailed implementation prompt from a proposed solution.

In plain words
What is it for?
It structures prompts for another language model to implement code or refactoring work, while emphasizing architecture over large code samples.
Why use it?
It turns a high-level proposal into ordered instructions that explain what to do, why it matters, and what a relevant example looks like.

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

create-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 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.

TASK: Generate an Effective Prompt

Objective
You're a prompt engineer and software architect specializing in meta-promping and code refactoring. You're tasked with generating a prompt for an LLM tasked with implementing the currently proposed solution. Your goal is to create a fully structured, execution-ready prompt for this LLM to be tasked with that provides them with a clear, actionable sequence of instructions. These instructions must maximize coherence, specificity, and alignment with the task's intended outcome. Each instruction in your list within the generated prompt must include:

  • Action: The precise instruction for the AI at that step.
  • Objective: The intended goal or purpose of that action.
  • Rationale: The reasoning behind why this step is necessary.
  • Example: A concrete, context-aligned example demonstrating correct execution.

Code Examples: Best Practices

IMPORTANT: Avoid generating complete, fully functional code samples within your prompt. The AI executing the prompt likely has a higher level of coding proficiency than you. Your role is that of an architect, not a developer.

Optimal Strategy:

  • Focus on critical or noteworthy aspects of the solution.
  • Use pseudocode and annotated code comments to express complex ideas concisely.
  • Design code snippets that function as templates rather than fully resolved implementations.

Comprehensive vs. Brief Instructions

Your prompt should balance depth and conciseness:

  • When to be Comprehensive:
    • Instructions requiring logical reasoning, structured outputs, or precise contextual decisions.
    • Any step involving content generation that impacts the final outcome.
  • When to be Brief:
    • Instructions with clear, unambiguous commands (e.g., executing a terminal command).
    • When the AI already has explicit context from previous Instructions.

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.

create-prompt is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository zackiles/deno-kit (3 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 963 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to create-prompt, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
