senior-prompt-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Pixel-Process-UG/superkit-agents. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,582 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for designing and improving instructions given to large language models, including examples, output formats, and evaluation methods.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create prompts, add few-shot examples, define structured outputs, tune model settings, run evaluations, and manage prompt versions.
Why use it?
It helps make model behavior more consistent and makes prompt quality easier to test and compare.

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

senior-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.

Senior Prompt Engineer

Overview

Design, test, and optimize prompts for large language models. This skill covers systematic prompt engineering including few-shot example design, chain-of-thought reasoning, system prompt architecture, structured output specification, parameter tuning, evaluation methodology, A/B testing, and prompt version management.

Announce at start: "I'm using the senior-prompt-engineer skill for prompt design and optimization."


Phase 1: Requirements

Goal: Define the task objective, quality criteria, and constraints before writing any prompt.

Actions

  1. Define the task objective clearly
  2. Identify input/output format requirements
  3. Determine quality criteria (accuracy, tone, format)
  4. Assess edge cases and failure modes
  5. Choose model and parameter constraints

STOP — Do NOT proceed to Phase 2 until:

  • Task objective is stated in one sentence
  • Input format and output format are defined
  • Quality criteria are measurable
  • Edge cases are listed
  • Model selection is justified

Phase 2: Prompt Design

Goal: Draft the prompt with proper architecture, examples, and constraints.

Actions

  1. Draft system prompt with role, constraints, and format
  2. Design few-shot examples (3-5 representative cases)
  3. Add chain-of-thought scaffolding if reasoning is needed
  4. Specify output structure (JSON, markdown, etc.)
  5. Add error handling instructions

Prompt Architecture Layers

Layer Purpose Example
1. Identity Who the model is "You are a sentiment classifier..."
2. Context What it knows/has access to "You have access to product reviews..."
3. Task What to do "Classify each review as positive/negative/neutral"
4. Constraints What NOT to do "Never include PII in output"
5. Format How to structure output "Respond in JSON: {classification, confidence}"
6. Examples Demonstrations 3-5 representative input/output pairs
7. Metacognition Handling uncertainty "If uncertain, classify as neutral and explain"

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.

senior-prompt-engineer is a skill published in the GitHub repository Pixel-Process-UG/superkit-agents (3 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 2,582 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
