SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Internal guidance for composing Codex and GPT-5.4 prompts for coding, review, diagnosis, and research tasks inside the Codex Claude Code plugin.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured, XML-based prompt contracts that clearly define task, output, defaults, and verification.
  • Safe, modular templates that separate diagnosis, review, research, and implementation work for reproducible results.
  • Real-world workflows include planning prompts, code review prompts, and research prompts that stay within defined contracts and grounding rules.

Quick Start

Provide a task description and select the appropriate XML blocks to construct a Codex prompt.

Frequently Asked Questions about gpt-5-4-prompting

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I construct precise Codex prompts for coding and review tasks?

Construct precise Codex prompts by applying structured XML blocks like <task>, <structured_output_contract>, and <verification_loop> to define explicit contracts and safe defaults. This minimizes ambiguity and ensures verifiable outcomes for diagnosis, planning, research, and implementation workflows.

What is an XML prompt contract and when do I need it for prompt engineering?

An XML prompt contract is a structured format using built-in blocks like <default_follow_through_policy> to enforce stable prompt boundaries. You need it when composing GPT-5.4 prompts for coding or research tasks to ensure reproducible results and explicit output contracts.

Can I use XML prompt blocks for both code review and research tasks?

Yes, XML prompt blocks support both code review and research tasks inside the Codex Claude plugin. The skill provides modular templates that separate these workflows, maintaining defined contracts and grounding rules for stable, verifiable outcomes across different task types.

Why does my Codex prompt return ambiguous or unverified results?

Codex prompts return ambiguous results without explicit contracts and safe defaults. Enforcing built-in XML blocks like <task>, <structured_output_contract>, and <verification_loop> minimizes ambiguity and ensures verifiable outcomes for your coding and diagnosis tasks.

Does the gpt-5-4-prompting skill require any external dependencies or components?

No, the gpt-5-4-prompting skill requires no external dependencies or components. It provides internal guidance and modular templates for composing Codex and GPT-5.4 prompts directly inside the Codex Claude Code plugin environment.
