output-dev-prompt-file

output-dev-prompt-file is a skill for Claude Code from growthxai/output. It costs 36 tokens per session (5,005 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating versioned prompt files used by Output SDK workflows. These files define instructions for language-model steps and can include changing values through Liquid.js templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing prompts for tasks such as analysis, summarising text, or extracting data. Configuring model settings and inserting workflow values into prompts.
Why use it?
It keeps workflow prompts in the right folders and format. Versioned files let you update prompts without unexpectedly changing existing workflow code.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is Picking a model? See [`output-dev-model-selection`](../output-dev-model-selection/SKILL.md) for the current decision tree and AI Gateway lookup script. Examples.

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

output-dev-prompt-file 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 6d 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.

Creating .prompt Files

Overview

This skill documents how to create .prompt files for LLM operations in Output SDK workflows. Prompt files use YAML frontmatter for configuration and Liquid.js templating for dynamic content.

When to Use This Skill

  • Creating prompts for LLM-powered workflow steps
  • Configuring LLM provider settings (model, temperature, etc.)
  • Using template variables in prompts
  • Troubleshooting prompt formatting issues

Location Convention

Prompt files are stored INSIDE the workflow folder:

src/workflows/{workflow-name}/
├── workflow.ts
├── steps.ts
├── types.ts
└── prompts/
    ├── [email protected]
    ├── [email protected]
    └── [email protected]

Important: Prompts are workflow-specific and live inside the workflow folder, NOT in a shared location.

File Naming Convention

{promptName}@v{version}.prompt

Examples:

The version suffix (@v1, @v2) allows for prompt versioning without breaking existing code.

Basic Structure

Picking a model? See output-dev-model-selection for the current decision tree and AI Gateway lookup script. Examples below show concrete IDs as of 2026-05-04 — refresh them with that skill.

---
provider: anthropic
# current as of 2026-05-04 — run output-dev-model-selection for the latest
model: claude-sonnet-4-6
temperature: 0.7
maxOutputTokens: 4096
---

<system>
System instructions go here.
</system>

<user>
User message with {{ variable }} placeholders.
</user>

The body uses exactly one mode:

  • Message mode starts with a role tag and produces messages. Use it with generateText, generateTextWithStreaming, streamText, and Agent.
  • Instruction mode starts with plain text and produces instructions. Use it with generateImage or when consuming loadPrompt() results directly:
---
provider: openai
model: gpt-image-1
---

Create a cinematic image of {{ subject }}.

output-dev-prompt-file is a skill published in the GitHub repository growthxai/output (435 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 5,005 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
