prompt

prompt is a skill for Claude Code from treylom/ThisCodex. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,049 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured prompt-writing skill for creating instructions aimed at language models such as Claude, GPT, Gemini, or Codex. It routes different tasks, including research and image prompts, to suitable guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for writing, improving, or reviewing prompts, creating GPT or Gem instructions, and preparing research or image-generation prompts.
Why use it?
It replaces improvised model instructions with a repeatable structure and task-specific guidance.

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 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 6d 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 — structured prompt generation

Vendored, unmodified-in-substance copy of the public prompt-engineering-skills package (MIT). It turns a rough intent into a structured, framework-grounded prompt rather than an ad-hoc one, and routes by task type.

When to use (mandatory-invocation)

Invoke this skill — do not free-hand a prompt — whenever the work is:

  • "write / make / improve / review a prompt" for any model
  • building GPTs or Gems system instructions
  • fact-check / research prompting (IFCN-grounded base templates required)
  • image-generation prompting (5-stage framework)
  • any request whose deliverable is itself a prompt

A bot whose config mandates /prompt (see the repo's docs/SETUP-CONFIG-GUIDE.md §"force-invoke") MUST route here first.

How it routes (progressive disclosure)

This SKILL.md is the router. Load the heavy reference only for the matched task — do not read all of it up front:

See references/ for detailed procedures only when the matched prompt task asks for them.

Task Load
Generate / refine a prompt (main workflow) references/prompt-generator.md
Framework / technique deep reference references/prompt-engineering-guide.md
Worked examples (Claude / GPT / image) references/examples/
Build a GPTs instruction references/instructions/GPTs-Prompt-Generator.md
Build a Gems instruction references/instructions/Gems-Prompt-Generator.md
Build Codex bot meta file (canonical AGENTS.md + SOUL v2 capsule) references/instructions/Bot-Persona-Generator.md

Procedure:

  1. Classify the request (generate / fact-check / research / image / GPTs / Gems).
  2. Read only the matched reference above.
  3. For fact-check / research, the engineering guide's IFCN base template is mandatory — do not emit a generic XML prompt.
  4. Produce the structured prompt; show the user the final prompt explicitly.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository treylom/ThisCodex (18 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 1,049 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.
