claude-orator-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/claude-orator/SKILL.md

claude-orator is a skill for Claude Code from Vvkmnn/claude-orator-mcp. It costs 54 tokens per session (346 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prompt-review guide that scores instructions and improves them with selected writing techniques. A prompt is the instruction given to an AI agent or subagent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when dispatching subagents or writing system prompts, skills, and tool descriptions; skip it for simple, already-clear requests.
Why use it?
It helps make vague or complex instructions clearer before they are used, reducing misunderstandings and repeated back-and-forth.

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

claude-orator 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Claude Orator

Make prompts measurably better before sending them.

When to Use

Dispatching subagents → Run the prompt through orator_optimize first. Better prompt = less back-and-forth, more accurate results.

Writing system prompts → SKILL.md files, agent instructions, tool descriptions. Small improvements compound over many invocations.

Prompt feels vague or under-specified → Score it. Orator identifies weak dimensions and applies targeted techniques.

Quick Reference

orator_optimize(prompt: "...", intent?: "code|analysis|creative|extraction|system", techniques?: ["xml-tags", "few-shot"])

Output: Before score → techniques applied → optimized prompt → after score.

Already good? One-line confirmation: 🪶 ━━ already well-structured (8.4)

When to Skip

Skip for trivial prompts, simple questions, or prompts already scoring above 7.0. The overhead isn't worth it for single-step instructions.

Common Mistakes

Mistake Fix
Optimizing everything Focus on high-leverage: subagent prompts, system prompts
Ignoring the score delta Close before/after scores mean the prompt was already good
Not using techniques override When you know which techniques apply, force them
Changes

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.
