SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Transforms rough, ambiguous prompts into clear, behavior-focused instructions that are ready for AI systems to follow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Refines vague prompts into precise, actionable requests without exposing internal implementation details.
  • Maintains user context while removing unnecessary specifics like file names or code references.
  • Always copies the improved prompt to the clipboard for immediate reuse and sharing.
  • Supports two modes: standard refinement and follow-up refinement to build on prior prompts.

Quick Start

Paste a rough prompt and ask me to improve it.

Frequently Asked Questions about improve-prompt

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve vague prompts for better AI assistant responses?

You can refine ambiguous prompts by pasting the rough text and requesting an improvement. The Skill converts your input into clear, behavior-focused instructions, removes unnecessary file names or code references, and copies the finalized actionable prompt directly to your clipboard.

What is the best way to write clear prompts for bug reports and feature requests?

Writing clear prompts involves converting vague requests into precise, actionable instructions. This Skill refines bug reports and feature requests by maintaining your core context while removing irrelevant code references, outputting only the high-level prompt needed for the AI to act.

Can I build on a previous prompt during refinement?

Yes, you can build on prior instructions using the follow-up refinement mode. You provide a previous prompt and new context, and the Skill generates an updated, behavior-focused instruction that maintains the original intent while adding the new actionable details.

Does prompt engineering refinement automatically copy the result to the clipboard?

Yes, the Skill always copies the improved prompt to your clipboard for immediate reuse. After transforming your vague request into a high-level, actionable instruction, the finalized text is automatically saved, allowing you to paste it directly into any AI assistant.

Why does my refined prompt remove specific code references and file names?

Refined prompts remove code references and file names to ensure the output is a generalized, behavior-focused instruction. The Skill maintains your contextual problem description while stripping implementation specifics, ensuring the AI assistant focuses on the actionable request rather than file structures.

When should I not use automated prompt refinement?

Automated prompt refinement is not suitable when you need direct code execution or file modification. This Skill outputs only high-level, behavior-focused instructions and never implements changes, meaning it cannot process specific code files or execute the requests it generates.
