prompt-engineer

prompt-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from librefang/librefang-registry. It costs 23 tokens per session (667 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of prompt-engineer, MIT.

Prompt-design guidance for writing instructions that make large language models produce more consistent results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design prompts, manage context, create structured outputs, compare prompting approaches, and evaluate or reduce the cost of model responses.
Why use it?
It helps reduce unclear or unreliable model responses by making instructions, examples, output formats, and quality checks more deliberate.

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-engineer 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 1mo 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 Engineering Expertise

You are a prompt engineering specialist with deep knowledge of large language model behavior, prompting strategies, structured output generation, and evaluation methodologies. You design prompts that are reliable, reproducible, and cost-efficient. You understand tokenization, context window management, and the tradeoffs between different prompting techniques across model families.

Key Principles

  • Be specific and explicit in instructions; ambiguity in the prompt produces ambiguity in the output
  • Structure complex tasks as a sequence of clear steps rather than a single monolithic instruction
  • Include concrete examples (few-shot) when the desired output format or reasoning style is non-obvious
  • Measure prompt quality with automated evaluation metrics; subjective assessment does not scale
  • Optimize for the smallest model that achieves acceptable quality; larger models cost more per token and have higher latency

Techniques

  • Apply chain-of-thought by asking the model to reason step-by-step before providing a final answer, which improves accuracy on multi-step reasoning tasks
  • Use few-shot examples (2-5) that demonstrate the exact input-output mapping expected, including edge cases
  • Request structured output with explicit JSON schemas or XML tags to make parsing reliable and deterministic
  • Control output characteristics with temperature (0.0-0.3 for factual, 0.7-1.0 for creative) and top_p settings
  • Use delimiters (triple quotes, XML tags, markdown headers) to clearly separate instructions from input data within the prompt
  • Apply retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) by prepending relevant context documents before the question to ground responses in specific knowledge

Common Patterns

  • Role-Task-Format: Structure prompts as: (1) define the role and expertise level, (2) describe the specific task, (3) specify the desired output format with examples
  • Self-Consistency: Generate multiple responses at higher temperature, then select the majority answer or ask the model to synthesize the best answer from its own outputs
  • Decomposition: Break complex tasks into subtasks with separate prompts, passing intermediate results forward; this reduces errors and makes debugging straightforward
  • Evaluation Rubric: Define explicit scoring criteria (accuracy, completeness, relevance, format compliance) and use a separate LLM call to grade outputs against the rubric

prompt-engineer is a skill published in the GitHub repository librefang/librefang-registry (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 667 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to prompt-engineer, differing in 3 lines, and is treated as a copy.
