What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps when you want to write long or multi-line prompts in your own editor instead of the chat input, and then pass that saved text into Claude as working context. It also preserves the prompt file after use so you can review or reuse what you sent later.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Branch-aware prompt discovery: Resolves the correct .claude/work/prompt.txt location based on the current branch's activity folder rules.
- Clear missing-file handling: Stops immediately with a fixed guidance message when the prompt file does not exist.
- Line-numbered prompt loading: Reads the saved prompt file with line numbers so the content can be inspected and processed accurately.
- Use case: Draft a complex review request or implementation brief in your editor, save it to the branch-specific prompt file, and invoke the Skill to continue the conversation from that saved text.
Quick Start
Save your message in the appropriate .claude/work/prompt.txt file for the current branch and ask Claude to run the read-prompt-file skill.
