prompt-engineering-expert

prompt-engineering-expert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CraftOS-dev/CraftBot. It costs 22 tokens per session (292 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to writing and improving instructions for AI agents, including system prompts, examples, and context rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write custom agent instructions, refine existing prompts, create evaluation cases, and manage prompts that include images, files, or other input types.
Why use it?
It helps turn vague or unreliable instructions into clearer prompts and makes it easier to test whether they produce the intended results.

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-engineering-expert 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Prompt Engineering Expert Skill

This skill equips Claude with deep expertise in prompt engineering, custom instructions design, and prompt optimization. It provides comprehensive guidance on crafting effective AI prompts, designing agent instructions, and iteratively improving prompt performance.

Capabilities

  • Prompt Writing Best Practices: Expert guidance on clear, direct prompts with proper structure and formatting
  • Custom Instructions Design: Creating effective system prompts and custom instructions for AI agents
  • Prompt Optimization: Analyzing, refining, and improving existing prompts for better performance
  • Advanced Techniques: Chain-of-thought prompting, few-shot examples, XML tags, role-based prompting
  • Evaluation & Testing: Developing test cases and success criteria for prompt evaluation
  • Anti-patterns Recognition: Identifying and correcting common prompt engineering mistakes
  • Context Management: Optimizing token usage and context window management
  • Multimodal Prompting: Guidance on vision, embeddings, and file-based prompts

Use Cases

  • Refining vague or ineffective prompts
  • Creating specialized system prompts for specific domains
  • Designing custom instructions for AI agents and skills
  • Optimizing prompts for consistency and reliability
  • Teaching prompt engineering best practices
  • Debugging prompt performance issues
  • Creating prompt templates for reusable workflows

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.
