prompt

prompt is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alessiomarcone/agent-fieldbook. It costs 62 tokens per session (595 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for turning rough requests into short, clear prompts for coding agents or other AI tools. It defines the goal, context, limits, expected result, and checks for completion.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps improve an existing prompt, create a new task request, troubleshoot weak responses, and specify what should be delivered and how it should be verified.
Why use it?
It removes ambiguity that can lead to incomplete, incorrectly scoped, or hard-to-check AI 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 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 12d 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

Turn a rough request into the shortest prompt that reliably defines the work.

References

  • Read references/ai-fluency-4d-corso.md for Anthropic's Description framework and prompting techniques.
  • Read references/codex-prompting.md for current Codex prompting rules when the target is Codex.
  • Read references/regole-distillate.md only for cross-cutting boundaries and verification.

Procedure

  1. Resolve the target product only when product behavior changes the prompt.
  2. Recover only missing parts that materially affect the result and are supported by the user's request or supplied context:
    • Goal: the result to create or change.
    • Context: relevant sources, files, examples, errors, and prior decisions.
    • Boundaries: what must stay unchanged, what not to invent, and which actions require approval.
    • Output: artifact, format, audience, length, and destination.
    • Done when: observable acceptance checks.
  3. Add examples, role, decomposition, a checklist, or an explicit planning step only when the user requests them or they resolve a concrete ambiguity. Do not add a conventional template merely because it is common for that task type.
  4. Never invent missing scope, numbers, timelines, audiences, deliverables, or acceptance criteria. Preserve a concise request and its approximate length when the user asks for brevity. Use a visible placeholder for a necessary unknown; ask one focused question only when no useful prompt can be produced without the answer.
  5. Add a freshness or source requirement for time-sensitive claims.
  6. Return one ready-to-copy prompt; do not execute it unless requested.

Output contract

Return:

  1. Ready prompt — one copyable block.
  2. Assumptions — only unavoidable assumptions; omit if none.
  3. Why it works — at most two lines.
  4. Verification — the most important check on the result.

When the user explicitly requests a short or simple rewrite, return only the Ready prompt and, if essential, one line of Verification. Do not append a rationale, assumptions section, or follow-up question.

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.
