refining-prompts

refining-prompts is a skill for Claude Code from tomada1114/tomada-claude-plugins. It costs 205 tokens per session (2,572 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A prompt-polishing helper that turns a rough instruction, often dictated by voice, into a precise prompt for another coding agent. It prints the result in the command line as one code block and does not save a file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare coding requests for tools such as Claude Code or Codex CLI, especially when starting from a rough spoken instruction.
Why use it?
It removes the ambiguity and missing detail that can make another agent misunderstand an instruction. It may do a light scouting pass when needed and ask questions to improve the prompt.

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 C, and why

refining-prompts scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

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.
