SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps prevent ineffective agent instructions caused by vague goals, excessive constraints, conflicting rules, and oversized prompt documents that reduce coding agent reliability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prompt Review and Design: Analyze and improve AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md, system prompts, subagent tasks, and other agent-facing instructions.
  • Instruction Optimization: Apply patterns for clarity, action orientation, safety guardrails, context continuity, and progressive disclosure.
  • Use Case: When a coding agent prompt becomes difficult to maintain, use this Skill to identify unnecessary instructions, restructure guidance, and create a more focused workflow.

Quick Start

Use the prompt-design skill to review my CLAUDE.md file and suggest improvements based on agent prompt best practices.

Frequently Asked Questions about prompt-design

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve agent instructions in an AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md file?

Improve agent instructions by identifying vague goals, excessive constraints, and conflicting rules, then restructuring them for better coding agent execution and reliability.

What is the best way to optimize system prompts for coding agents?

Optimize system prompts by applying patterns for clarity, action orientation, safety guardrails, context continuity, and progressive disclosure to create maintainable instruction documents.

Why does my coding agent fail to follow complex prompt constraints?

Coding agents fail to follow constraints due to vague goals, excessive constraints, conflicting rules, and oversized prompt documents that reduce agent reliability and execution accuracy.

Can I use this approach to restructure subagent tasks and SKILL.md files?

Yes, you can analyze and restructure subagent tasks, SKILL.md files, and long-running coding agent workflows by applying prompt optimization checklists and progressive disclosure guidance.

When should I restructure my agent-facing prompts?

Restructure agent-facing prompts when instructions become difficult to maintain, using optimization checklists to identify unnecessary guidance, eliminate conflicts, and create focused agent workflows.
