Extract all user prompts from Claude Code history and deliver a harsh critique of your prompting patterns based on best practices. Get roasted to get better.

Read @best_practices.md to understand what good prompting looks like.
Read the generated all-prompts.txt file (sample ~50-100 prompts if there are many).
Analyze the user's prompting patterns against the best practices and deliver a brutally honest critique. Be harsh but constructive. The goal is to help them improve, not to be nice.
When analyzing prompts, evaluate against these criteria from best_practices.md:
Structure your critique as:
# Prompt Audit Report
## Overall Grade: [A/B/C/D/F]
## Executive Summary
[2-3 sentences on the biggest issues]
## What You're Doing Wrong
### 1. [Issue Name]
**Severity**: High/Medium/Low
**Frequency**: X% of prompts
**Examples**:
- "[quote from their prompt]" - [why this is bad]
- "[another example]" - [why this is bad]
**How to fix**: [specific actionable advice]
### 2. [Next Issue]
...
## What You're Doing Right
[Be brief - focus on problems]
## Top 5 Prompts That Made Me Cringe
1. "[prompt]" - [why it's terrible]
2. ...
## Specific Rewrites
Take 3-5 of their worst prompts and show the improved version:
| Original | Improved |
|----------|----------|
| "fix the bug" | "The login fails with error X. Check src/auth/. Write a failing test, then fix it." |
## Action Items
1. [Most important thing to change]
2. [Second most important]
3. [Third]
If the user specifies:
--output <path> - Change output file location--project <name> - Only extract from a specific project--raw - Don't deduplicate, keep all prompts--no-critique - Skip the critique, just extract
