Prompt Enhancer Skill
Transforms vague or simple prompts into structured, high-context instructions optimized for AI coding agents.
When to Use
- •User asks to "improve my prompt" or "make this prompt better"
- •User wants to "optimize this instruction for Codex"
- •User needs help writing a better prompt for an AI agent
- •User mentions "prompt engineering" or "rewrite this"
Quick Start
Run the enhance script with the user's prompt:
bash
python3 ~/.codex/skills/prompt-enhancer/scripts/enhance.py "user's raw prompt here"
How It Works
The enhancer applies these principles:
- •Add Context: What project/tech stack is involved?
- •Clarify Objective: What exactly should be accomplished?
- •Chain of Thought: Add step-by-step reasoning instructions
- •Define Constraints: What are the boundaries and requirements?
- •Specify Output: What format should the result be in?
Output Format
The enhanced prompt follows this structure:
markdown
# Context [Refined context description] # Objective [Precise task definition] # Step-by-Step Instructions 1. [Step 1] 2. [Step 2] ... # Constraints - [Constraint 1] - [Constraint 2]
Additional Resources
- •For the system prompt template, see TEMPLATE.md
Alternative: Use pe CLI
If you have the pe CLI installed globally:
bash
pe "user's raw prompt here"
Install via: npm install -g prompt-enhancer (or clone repo and npm link)
