system-prompt-creator

system-prompt-creator is a skill for Claude Code from tronghieu/agent-skills. It costs 142 tokens per session (2,773 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing workflow for creating system prompts: instructions that define how an AI model should behave and respond. It is designed to account for differences between models such as Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open-source models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, draft, design, or improve system prompts, system instructions, and custom instructions for AI models.
Why use it?
It helps turn a rough request for AI instructions into a prompt suited to the intended model.

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

system-prompt-creator 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.

System Prompt Creator

Build effective system prompts for any LLM using a structured, research-backed process derived from the official prompting guides of Claude (Anthropic), GPT-5 (OpenAI), and Gemini (Google).

This skill guides you through interview, analysis, structuring, drafting, and optimization — producing system prompts that are clear, well-structured, and tailored to the target model.

Workflow

Follow these 5 steps in order. Each step builds on the previous.

Step 1: Interview — Gather Requirements

Before writing anything, collect these essentials from the user:

  1. Target model — Which LLM? (Claude, GPT, Gemini, open-source, or model-agnostic)
  2. Use case — What will the AI do? (chatbot, agent, content generator, data extractor, code assistant, etc.)
  3. Persona — Who should the AI be? (role, expertise level, personality traits)
  4. Audience — Who interacts with it? (developers, end users, internal team, customers)
  5. Input types — What will users send? (free text, code, documents, images, structured data)
  6. Output format — What should responses look like? (prose, JSON, markdown, code, tables)
  7. Tone & style — Formal, casual, technical, friendly? Concise or detailed?
  8. Constraints — What must it NOT do? (safety rules, topic limits, action restrictions)
  9. Tools & capabilities — Does it have tool access? (APIs, file system, web search, code execution)
  10. Examples — Can the user provide examples of good/bad responses?

If the user is vague on some points, suggest reasonable defaults and confirm before proceeding.

Push for completeness: After gathering basics, ask "What else might users ask about?" Many prompts fail not because they handle their core task poorly, but because they don't anticipate adjacent scenarios. A billing chatbot also gets account access questions, product questions, and complaints. A coding agent needs to handle not just building features but also debugging, refactoring, and project setup. Map the full territory before writing.

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.
