prompt-engineer

prompt-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from noizu-labs-ml/NoizuPromptLingo. It costs 230 tokens per session (2,457 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating, checking, shortening, restyling, and comparing prompts. A prompt is the instruction given to an AI model; this tool also supports the Noizu Prompt Lingua format and prompt security checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or audit prompts, convert them between formats, tune them for a target model, and select the best-performing version.
Why use it?
It helps find structural problems, preserve important details while reducing length, and compare prompt versions against an evaluation set.

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 Engineer

Single skill for the full prompt lifecycle: author → audit → compress/restyle → evaluate → tune → harden, with first-class Noizu Prompt Lingua (NPL) support and a vendored research corpus (arXiv-grade papers with page-anchored digests) backing its security and optimization guidance.

Overview

  • Author prompts from natural-language intent — freeform or formal [email protected] syntax — assembling the minimal syntax preamble a target system needs (via the NPL MCP service: NPLLoad/NPLSpec).
  • Audit existing prompts (freeform, <npl-*> blocks, ⌜NPL@…⌝ fenced) for structural and semantic correctness; fix in place.
  • Compress and restyle prompts against explicit token budgets on a 0–5 compactness scale, ledgering every dropped fact, and transforming between equivalent-behavior formats (YAML meta-prompt, NPL element set, checklist, pointer-index, shorthand).
  • Evaluate prompt variants against an eval corpus (rubric + dataset), promoting the best via the .prompt file-mode convention (spec file, variants dir, best-eval symlink/pin).
  • Tune for the target model — prompt-shape preferences, sampling hyperparameters, and reasoning/thinking budgets differ per model family; adapt rather than assume.
  • Harden against adversarial input — threat-model the prompt surface, recognize injection and poisoning patterns, and apply layered defenses drawn from the vendored research corpus.

Core Philosophy

  1. Behavior is the invariant. Compression, restyling, and tuning may change everything except required behavior; every transformation is checked against the declared requirements.
  2. Loss is ledgered, never silent. Anything dropped or weakened during compression is recorded — what, why, and where it can be recovered.
  3. Variants are measured, not preferred. Taste loses to the eval corpus; the best-eval variant is promoted, and the baseline is retained forever.
  4. Structure beats cleverness. Deliberate syntax (NPL families, delimiters, instruction hierarchy) is the primary defense against ambiguity and injection alike.
  5. Claims cite the corpus. Security and optimization recommendations point at the vendored papers with page anchors, not folklore.

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.
