prompt-sharpener

prompt-sharpener is a skill for Claude Code from giang6283623/minimal-vibe-coding-kit. It costs 34 tokens per session (830 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that rewrites a rough user request into a more precise prompt without changing its intended goal.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps clarify coding and other requests, define exact operations and limits, and then carry out the improved prompt.
Why use it?
It removes vague wording, unclear scope, missing success checks, and mixed task order before the work begins.

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-sharpener 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 2mo 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 Sharpener

The text the user types after the invocation is the raw prompt. Upgrade it into a prompt that is sharper, not longer - keep the original intent, constraints, and language - then execute the upgraded version immediately in the same turn. No text after the invocation → ask the user what they want and stop.

Step 1 - Diagnose the raw prompt

Scan for every ailment below; each ailment found gets its cure applied directly in the upgraded prompt. Cure silently; call out a cure only when it could shift the user's intent.

  • Vague verbs or adjectives ("help me", "make it nicer") → concrete, measurable operations and parameters.
  • Two tasks in one prompt → split into an explicit execution order.
  • No success criteria → add a binary pass/fail Done when.
  • Emotional description ("everything is broken") → extract the specific technical symptom.
  • "The whole app" scope → pin exact files/functions/directories; coding tasks always get a scope lock (edit only inside X, leave the rest untouched).
  • Relies on memory of an old session → copy the decisions already settled in this conversation (stack, architecture, what was tried and failed) into the Context block.
  • Invitation to fabricate ("what do experts say about X?") → anchor grounding: state only what can be verified; when unsure, say so explicitly.
  • No output format → fix the structure and length; when the format is hard to describe in words, include 2-3 sample examples (including an edge case) in the Output Contract.

Done when: the raw prompt has been checked against the full list and no ailment is left without its cure in the upgraded prompt.

Step 2 - Build the upgraded prompt

Classify the task (coding / research / writing / analysis / planning / review), then assemble blocks in this order - add a block only when it raises precision; small tasks need just 2-3 blocks:

Objective → Context → Work Style → Tool Rules → Output Contract → Verification → Done Criteria

Focus per task type:

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.
