Prompt Enhancer Skill
Transforms vague or simple prompts into structured, high-context instructions optimized for AI coding agents.
When to Use
- User asks to "improve my prompt" or "make this prompt better"
- User wants to "optimize this instruction for Codex"
- User needs help writing a better prompt for an AI agent
- User mentions "prompt engineering" or "rewrite this"
Quick Start
Run the enhance script with the user's prompt:
python3 ~/.codex/skills/prompt-enhancer/scripts/enhance.py "user's raw prompt here"
How It Works
The enhancer applies these principles:
- Add Context: What project/tech stack is involved?
- Clarify Objective: What exactly should be accomplished?
- Chain of Thought: Add step-by-step reasoning instructions
- Define Constraints: What are the boundaries and requirements?
- Specify Output: What format should the result be in?
Output Format
The enhanced prompt follows this structure:
# Context
[Refined context description]
# Objective
[Precise task definition]
# Step-by-Step Instructions
1. [Step 1]
2. [Step 2]
...
# Constraints
- [Constraint 1]
- [Constraint 2]
