Use the 5-phase methodology: requirements gathering, structure design, prompt construction, validation, and output generation. This structured approach reduces guesswork, ensures consistency with proven patterns like COST and ReAct, and produces reliable prompts faster than ad-hoc methods.

Choose from PTF, COST, STAR, RRET, CoT, Few-Shot, ReAct, and Constitutional patterns. Each pattern addresses specific task types—use STAR for reasoning tasks, ReAct for multi-step workflows, Few-Shot for consistency, and Constitutional for value-aligned outputs.

Yes. Run `npx tsx scripts/validate-prompt.ts prompts/my-prompt.md` to check format compliance. Save prompts to `prompts/<prompt-name>.md` and validate structure, role definitions, instructions, output blocks, and examples for consistency.

Apply the 5-phase methodology with a role-based template scaffold. Define the agent's role, core instructions, output format blocks, and validation examples. Start from reusable templates like `summarize-article.md` and adapt for your specific agent function.

Systematic methodology covers requirement gathering, design validation, and pattern alignment—eliminating inconsistency and trial-and-error. Ad-hoc prompts often miss edge cases; this approach ensures coverage across task requirements and proven reasoning patterns.

Yes. The Skill provides reusable templates with predefined role, instructions, output blocks, and examples. Templates scaffold new prompts quickly and maintain consistency across projects when adapted using the same 5-phase methodology.
