prompt-optimizer

A prompt-editing guide that turns a vague request into a clearer, ready-to-use instruction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when improving or rewriting a prompt, including prompts about how to use the ECC ecosystem.
Why use it?
It surfaces the real goal, missing details, and success criteria before another agent carries out the 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-optimizer 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 393 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prompt Optimizer

Analyze a draft prompt, critique it, match it to ECC ecosystem components, and output a complete optimized prompt the user can paste and run.

When to Use

  • User says "optimize this prompt", "improve my prompt", "rewrite this prompt"
  • User says "help me write a better prompt for..."
  • User says "what's the best way to ask Claude Code to..."
  • User says "优化prompt", "改进prompt", "怎么写prompt", "帮我优化这个指令"
  • User pastes a draft prompt and asks for feedback or enhancement
  • User says "I don't know how to prompt for this"
  • User says "how should I use ECC for..."
  • User explicitly invokes /prompt-optimize

Do Not Use When

  • User wants the task done directly (just execute it)
  • User says "优化代码", "优化性能", "optimize this code", "optimize performance" — these are refactoring tasks, not prompt optimization
  • User is asking about ECC configuration (use configure-ecc instead)
  • User wants a skill inventory (use skill-stocktake instead)
  • User says "just do it" or "直接做"

How It Works

Advisory only — do not execute the user's task.

Do NOT write code, create files, run commands, or take any implementation action. Your ONLY output is an analysis plus an optimized prompt.

If the user says "just do it", "直接做", or "don't optimize, just execute", do not switch into implementation mode inside this skill. Tell the user this skill only produces optimized prompts, and instruct them to make a normal task request if they want execution instead.

Run this 6-phase pipeline sequentially. Present results using the Output Format below.

Analysis Pipeline

Phase 0: Project Detection

Before analyzing the prompt, detect the current project context:

  1. Check if a CLAUDE.md exists in the working directory — read it for project conventions
  2. Detect tech stack from project files:
    • package.json → Node.js / TypeScript / React / Next.js
    • go.mod → Go
    • pyproject.toml / requirements.txt → Python
    • Cargo.toml → Rust
    • build.gradle / pom.xml → Java / Kotlin / Spring Boot
    • Package.swift → Swift
    • Gemfile → Ruby
    • composer.json → PHP
    • *.csproj / *.sln → .NET
    • Makefile / CMakeLists.txt → C / C++
    • cpanfile / Makefile.PL → Perl
  3. Note detected tech stack for use in Phase 3 and Phase 4

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.

prompt-optimizer is a skill published in the GitHub repository artttj/rapid-stack (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 3,933 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 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.
