prompt-writer

prompt-writer is a skill for Claude Code from Londeren/claude-plugins. It costs 208 tokens per session (8,590 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for writing instructions for large language models, such as prompts for assistants, agents, repeatable tasks, or grading. It classifies the request, applies a matching structure, and checks the result against a checklist.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or improve system prompts, role prompts, agent instructions, prompt templates, and evaluation prompts.
Why use it?
It helps turn a vague request into clearer instructions that an AI model can follow consistently. The method also accounts for different prompt purposes, such as extraction, transformation, classification, and coding tasks.

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-writer 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.

Prompt Writer

A skill for writing high-quality LLM prompts (especially for Claude), based on close reading of the Claude system prompts (Opus 4.7, Fable 5, Opus 5) and how attention uses a prompt.

When this skill is active

The user wants to create or improve an instruction for an LLM. It can be a system prompt, a role prompt, an agent instruction, a prompt template, a Claude Project setup, or a specific prompt for a repeatable task. The skill follows a process: understand the task → determine the type → apply the template → audit the draft → deliver the final version.

The process

Step 1: Understand the task

If the user gave a detailed spec with examples, goals, audience, and constraints, do NOT ask clarifying questions, start immediately with inline assumptions. Second-guessing a detailed request hurts.

If the spec is vague ("write a prompt for an assistant"), ask the minimum number of questions needed to determine the prompt type. No more than 2-3 questions at a time.

The minimum that has to be known before starting:

  • What the prompt is supposed to do
  • Which model or tool the prompt is written for. If it is not stated, assume Claude, mark that assumption inline in the result, and do not spend a question on it. The rules of this skill are calibrated for Claude; for other tools they apply as they are, with no adaptation
  • What format and length of output the user expects
  • The success criterion, how the user will know the prompt worked
  • Who will use it (a single user, a team, end customers)
  • Whether there are critical prohibitions (what must NEVER happen)
  • Whether an existing prompt is being improved

Output format and length and the success criterion are derived from the task; ask about them only when they do not follow from the spec, and within the limit of 2-3 questions.

Step 2: Determine the prompt type

Read the Routing section below and pick one of five types. The type decides the template and the approach.

Step 3: Apply the template
