Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00074 | $0.01085 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00543 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00217 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00109 |
Grade A, and why
prompt-engineering-patterns 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.
This is a copy
91% identical to prompt-engineering-patterns — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Prompt Engineering Patterns
Master advanced prompt engineering techniques to maximize LLM performance, reliability, and controllability.
When to Use This Skill
- Designing complex prompts for production LLM applications
- Optimizing prompt performance and consistency
- Implementing structured reasoning patterns (chain-of-thought, tree-of-thought)
- Building few-shot learning systems with dynamic example selection
- Creating reusable prompt templates with variable interpolation
- Debugging and refining prompts that produce inconsistent outputs
- Implementing system prompts for specialized AI assistants
- Using structured outputs (JSON mode) for reliable parsing
Core Capabilities
1. Few-Shot Learning
- Example selection strategies (semantic similarity, diversity sampling)
- Balancing example count with context window constraints
- Constructing effective demonstrations with input-output pairs
- Dynamic example retrieval from knowledge bases
- Handling edge cases through strategic example selection
2. Chain-of-Thought Prompting
- Step-by-step reasoning elicitation
- Zero-shot CoT with "Let's think step by step"
- Few-shot CoT with reasoning traces
- Self-consistency techniques (sampling multiple reasoning paths)
- Verification and validation steps
3. Structured Outputs
- JSON mode for reliable parsing
- Pydantic schema enforcement
- Type-safe response handling
- Error handling for malformed outputs
4. Prompt Optimization
- Iterative refinement workflows
- A/B testing prompt variations
- Measuring prompt performance metrics (accuracy, consistency, latency)
- Reducing token usage while maintaining quality
- Handling edge cases and failure modes
5. Template Systems
- Variable interpolation and formatting
- Conditional prompt sections
- Multi-turn conversation templates
- Role-based prompt composition
- Modular prompt components
6. System Prompt Design
- Setting model behavior and constraints
- Defining output formats and structure
- Establishing role and expertise
- Safety guidelines and content policies
- Context setting and background information
What ships with it
8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 2d ago First seen · 145 lines · 74 tokens per session scan A 6a210b15be01
prompt-engineering-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository is-bo/fullstack-forge-skill (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,085 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to prompt-engineering-patterns, differing in 8 lines, and is treated as a copy.
