opus-4-7-prompt-writer

opus-4-7-prompt-writer is a skill for Codex from yz5e/agent-skills. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,816 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prompt-writing guide for Claude Opus 4.7, an AI model, focused on coding tasks that take multiple steps. It structures instructions so the model knows the goal, limits, tools, and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing prompts for repository changes, debugging, migrations, tool use, and validation-heavy work.
Why use it?
It reduces vague instructions and makes long coding jobs easier to carry out and verify.

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

opus-4-7-prompt-writer 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.

Opus 4.7 Prompt Writer

Write one prompt that another Claude model can execute with minimal ambiguity. Optimize for action, persistence, and verification, not for prose elegance.

Read references/anthropic-claude-prompting.md when the task is long-horizon, tool-heavy, or expensive enough that prompt quality matters materially.

Workflow

  1. Capture the real task.
  2. Identify the execution environment.
  3. Define hard constraints and done criteria.
  4. Decide whether the prompt must explicitly push tool use, persistence, and validation.
  5. Write the prompt in XML-style sections.
  6. Add an execution loop and verification gate.
  7. Remove vague or conflicting instructions.

Capture The Real Task

Before writing the prompt, extract:

  • The objective: what must be changed, fixed, implemented, or reviewed.
  • The environment: repo path, branch, local services, tools, runtime, secrets assumptions.
  • The constraints: files or systems that must not be touched, style rules, required docs, approval limits.
  • The validation surface: tests, build, lint, integration suites, smoke checks, manual verification, or whatever the project actually uses. Let the user name their own checks instead of assuming any specific stack.
  • The completion rule: what must be true before the model may stop.

If the user supplied a spec or earlier review findings, turn those into explicit required work items. Do not leave them implicit.

Prompt Shape

Use XML-like sections because Claude responds well to explicit structure:

  • <role>: who the model is for this task.
  • <mission>: the concrete outcome.
  • <context>: repo, branch, docs, prior findings, environment.
  • <requirements>: the non-negotiables.
  • <workflow>: the order of work.
  • <tooling>: how and when to use tools.
  • <validation>: exact commands and checks.
  • <done>: stop condition.
  • <output>: how to report results.

Use short, imperative bullets inside each section. Keep the prompt concrete.

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.
