prompt-generator

prompt-generator is a skill for Claude Code from mhylle/claude-skills-collection. It costs 75 tokens per session (1,318 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that creates structured prompts for implementing numbered project phases with an orchestrator and supporting agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate prompts for a specific phase, while including its plan, project context, and any architecture decision records.
Why use it?
It turns a phase plan and related project documents into clear instructions for carrying out multi-step implementation work.

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-generator 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/save_prompt.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Generator

Generate structured implementation prompts for phase-based project execution using an orchestrator/subagent pattern.

Quick Start

When triggered, gather these inputs from the user:

Variable Description Example
PHASE_NUMBER Phase identifier "1", "2", "3"
PHASE_NAME Descriptive phase name "Foundation", "Data Pipeline"
PHASE_DOC_PATH Path to phase plan document /project/docs/plans/01-foundation.md
PROJECT_ROOT Project root directory /home/user/myproject
GENERAL_PLAN_PATH Path to general plan (optional) /project/docs/plans/00-general-plan.md
ADR_PATH Path to ADR directory (optional) /project/docs/decisions/

ADR Integration: The generated prompt will instruct the orchestrator to:

  • Read any ADRs referenced in the plan before implementation
  • Create new ADRs when architectural decisions arise during implementation
  • Update the plan with ADR references when deviating from the original design

Workflow

1. Gather User Input

Ask the user for required variables. If context provides these values, confirm them:

To generate the implementation prompt, I need:
1. Phase number (e.g., 1, 2, 3)
2. Phase name (e.g., "Foundation", "Data Pipeline")
3. Path to the phase document
4. Project root directory
5. Path to general plan (optional)

2. Generate the Prompt

Read the template from references/implementation-prompt-template.md and substitute all {PLACEHOLDER} values with user-provided inputs.

3. Output and Save

  1. Display: Output the complete generated prompt in the chat
  2. Save: Use scripts/save_prompt.py to save to <PROJECT_ROOT>/docs/prompts/
echo "<generated_prompt>" | python scripts/save_prompt.py <project_root> <phase_number> <phase_name>

The file is saved as: docs/prompts/phase-<N>-<name>.md

Template Features

The generated prompt includes:

  • Orchestration requirements: Main session coordinates, subagents implement
  • Delegation patterns: File creation, testing, infrastructure, integration
  • Progress tracking: TodoWrite integration for task management
  • Validation workflow: Group validation and final success criteria checks
  • Error handling: Failure analysis, rollback procedures, escalation guidance
  • Handoff preparation: Documentation for next phase transition
  • Plan updates: Update implementation plan with actual outcomes upon completion

What ships with it

2 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-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository mhylle/claude-skills-collection (18 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 1,318 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
