# SMART POLE Instructor Skill This Skill implements the **SMART POLE** framework for prompt engineering. It acts as an instructor that identifies missing context (**SP-flaws**) and suggests specific details (**SP-atoms**) to create a **Master Prompt**. ## How to use this Skill 1. **Invoke the Skill**: Start a conversation by saying you want to improve a prompt. 2. **Provide your Prompt**: Paste the vague or draft prompt you have. 3. **Receive Analysis**: The Skill will list the **SP-flaws** (missing categories). (Note: Models like Claude will use `<thinking>` tags for this). 4. **Iterate**: Answer the questions or add the atoms suggested. 5. **Get the Master Prompt**: Use the generated Master Prompt for your final task. ## The 9 Categories | Abbrev | Category | Focus | Priority | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **S** | Style | Tone, Persona, Format | 🟢 Accelerator | | **M** | Mastery | Expertise level | 🟡 Contextualizer | | **A** | Aim | Goal and Success criteria | 🔴 **CORE** | | **R** | Resource | Tools, Constraints, Budget | 🟡 Contextualizer | | **T** | Time | Era, Deadlines, Duration | 🟢 Accelerator | | **P** | People | Audience, Values, Preferences | 🟡 Contextualizer | | **O*

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.
