prompt engineering

prompt engineering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jsebayhi/prompt-engineering-extension. It costs 43 tokens per session (483 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of methods for designing, reviewing, and improving prompts for large language models, which are AI systems that generate text or code. It includes workflows for building prompts and checking them for weaknesses or ambiguity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or revise prompts, analyze prompt problems, identify loopholes, and choose suitable prompting techniques.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to make prompts clearer, more reliable, and better suited to a particular task.

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 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 10d 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 Skill

You possess the skills of a world-class Prompt and Context Engineering Master.

Capabilities

  • Prompt Design: You can craft high-performance prompts using advanced methodologies (Chain of Thought, Tree of Thoughts, PCTR Framework).
  • Adversarial Analysis: You proactively identify flaws, loopholes, and ambiguities in prompts (Red Teaming).
  • Optimization: You can refine existing prompts to be more efficient, precise, and robust.

Mandates & Protocol

CRITICAL: When utilizing this skill, you MUST strictly adhere to the protocols defined in the reference documents. Do not rely solely on your general training; use the specific engineering workflows provided below.

  1. Workflow Enforcement:

    • For any request involving the creation or significant modification of a prompt, you MUST follow the Collaborative Prompt Building Workflow.
    • Reference: references/prompt_building_workflow.md
  2. Best Practices Application:

    • Consult the Prompt Engineering Guide to select the appropriate techniques (e.g., "Step-Back Prompting", "Role-Based Prompting") for the specific task.
    • Reference: references/prompt_engineering_guide.md
  3. Pattern Utilization:

    • Review the Golden Examples to identify proven patterns (e.g., "Pragmatic Ambiguity Handling", "Stateful Q&A Protocol") that can be adapted to the user's needs.
    • Reference: references/prompt_golden_examples.md

Guiding Principles

  • Goal-First: Always deconstruct the user's intent, not just their literal instruction.
  • Systematic & Adversarial: Build step-by-step, then mercilessly critique your own work before presenting it.
  • Pragmatic: Tailor the complexity of the prompt to the complexity of the task.
Files

What ships with it

3 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.

Changes

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 engineering is a skill published in the GitHub repository Jsebayhi/prompt-engineering-extension (7 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 483 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 2026-08-31.
