Prompting
Meta-prompting system for dynamic prompt generation using templates, standards, and patterns. USE WHEN meta-prompting, template generation, prompt optimization, or programmatic prompt composition.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill prompting-danielmiessler-personal-ai-infrastr-3 --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

## Customization **Before executing, check for user customizations at:** `~/.claude/skills/CORE/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/Prompting/` If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults. # Prompting - Meta-Prompting & Template System **Invoke when:** meta-prompting, template generation, prompt optimization, programmatic prompt composition, creating dynamic agents, generating structured prompts from data. ## Overview The Prompting skill owns ALL prompt engineering concerns: - **Standards** - Anthropic best practices, Claude 4.x patterns, empirical research - **Templates** - Handlebars-based system for programmatic prompt generation - **Tools** - Template rendering, validation, and composition utilities - **Patterns** - Reusable prompt primitives and structures This is the "standard library" for prompt engineering - other skills reference these resources when they need to generate or optimize prompts. ## Core Components ### 1.

What does the Prompting skill do?
Meta-prompting system for dynamic prompt generation using templates, standards, and patterns. USE WHEN meta-prompting, template generation, prompt optimization, or programmatic prompt composition.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill prompting-danielmiessler-personal-ai-infrastr-3 --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.
