SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Complex engineering initiatives handed to an AI agent as a rough brief often fail because the prompt lacks verified facts, authority boundaries, completion criteria, and verification steps. This Skill turns informal briefs, links, and expected outcomes into self-contained master prompts that another capable agent can execute for hours without inventing product facts, permissions, or a definition of done. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Brief normalization and evidence labeling: Converts rough briefs into structured objectives, constraints, and terminal conditions, labeling every material fact as VERIFIED, INFERRED, ASSUMED, UNKNOWN, or BLOCKED. - Technique selection by failure mode: Chooses among RCTF, ReAct, Tree of Thoughts, Chain of Verification, self-consistency, RAG, and spec-driven development based on the failure each closes and its cost in extra passes. - Unattended run contract: Builds prompts with machine-checkable completion conditions, write boundaries, unknown-handling rules, and failure definitions so long autonomous runs survive session limits. - Use Case: You need to hand a multi-repository migration to another agent. Provide the brief and repository links, and receive a copy-paste-ready master prompt with alternatives analysis, safety boundaries, spec-driven artifacts, rollout phases, and a completion contract. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to use the master-prompt-builder skill to turn your initiative brief into an evidence-backed implementation master prompt.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a master prompt for a complex AI agent task?

Normalize the brief into objective, current state, constraints, and terminal condition, then compose the prompt using the RCTF blueprint with authority boundaries, verification steps, and a completion contract. Run the quality gates checklist before delivery to catch gaps.

What prompt engineering techniques should a long agent prompt use?

Choose techniques by the failure they close, not reputation. ReAct fits environments that can contradict the plan, Tree of Thoughts fits genuinely open architecture choices, and Chain of Verification fits deliverables asserting facts about code. Skip any technique a deterministic command already replaces.

When should I not use the master-prompt-builder skill?

Do not use it for a small one-off prompt rewrite or a task a single agent finishes in one session. The skill targets cross-repository or spec-driven initiatives that need alternatives, verification, safety boundaries, and a completion contract.

How do I make an AI agent prompt work unattended for hours?

Apply the unattended run contract: a machine-checkable completion condition, a rule for labeling unknowns and continuing, a named write boundary and branch, a definition of failure, and state written to disk as it is produced. Length alone does not keep a run alive.

Can a generated master prompt grant the agent extra permissions?

No. A generated prompt cannot grant broader permissions than the invoking user has. External writes, deploys, merges, destructive cleanup, and secret handling always require explicit authorization and never inherit it from the prompt.
