openai-prompt-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zircote/.claude. It costs 43 tokens per session (3,912 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A helper for writing and improving instructions given to OpenAI language models, including GPT-5. It uses techniques such as examples and step-by-step reasoning to shape the model's responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create prompts for coding, analysis, content generation, or other tasks handled by language models.
Why use it?
It helps turn vague requests into clearer instructions that are more likely to produce useful results.

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

openai-prompt-engineer scanned grade A 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 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.

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.
