prompt-improver
Optimize prompts for code-related tasks following Claude best practices. Use when refining prompts for implementation, debugging, refactoring, code review, or testing.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Prompt Improver Optimize code-related prompts for clarity, investigation-first thinking, and verification. ## Input ``` $ARGUMENTS ``` --- ## Step 1: Analyze the Prompt Evaluate the input prompt across these dimensions: | Dimension | What to check | |-----------|---------------| | Task Clarity | Is the task type clear? (implement, fix, refactor, review, test) Are boundaries defined? | | Investigation | Does it specify reading/understanding before acting? | | Verification | Are there appropriate checks? (run tests, build, lint) | | Context Anchoring | Does it reference specific files, functions, or patterns? | | Action Specificity | Is the desired outcome explicit? Quality expectations stated? | | Scope Control | Is it appropriately scoped? Clear stopping points? | Identify which dimensions are weak or missing in the input prompt. ### Gates (sequenced) Complete in order; do not skip steps. 1. **Audit gate (end of Step 1):** **Pass when** the forthcoming Analysis names the task type and either lists each weak or missing dimension from the table or explicitly states all dimensions are adequate, with a brief reason for any dimension you treat as already sufficient. 2. **Transform gat

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill prompt-improver-existential-birds-beagle --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
