prompt-engineering

prompt-engineering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit. It costs 45 tokens per session (3,611 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A guide to writing and improving instructions for AI agents and other language models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write agent commands, hooks, skills, sub-agent prompts, and reusable prompt templates.
Why use it?
It helps make vague or ineffective prompts clearer and more likely to produce the intended results.

About the project

Context Engineering Kit is a collection of skills, agents, hooks, instructions, commands, and plugins that shape how coding agents use context and carry out development work. It is for developers using Claude Code and other supported coding agents who want more predictable results. The catalogue entries are components from this collection.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to low

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • low Excessive Agency · line 354
    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
    Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.

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 5d 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 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.
