# Prompt Refiner
## What this skill does
This skill takes a rough or underperforming AI prompt and rewrites it to be clearer, more specific, and more likely to produce consistent, high-quality output from a language model. It identifies the root causes of vague or ineffective prompts — missing context, absent output format specs, ambiguous instructions — and systematically addresses each one. It also explains every change so you can learn the principles, not just get a one-time fix.
Use this when your prompts produce inconsistent results, when the model frequently misunderstands what you want, or when you're building a prompt that will run in production.
## How to use
### Claude Code / Cline
Copy this file to `.agents/skills/prompt-refiner/SKILL.md` in your project root.
Then paste your prompt and ask:
- *"Use the Prompt Refiner skill to improve this prompt."*
- *"Refine this system prompt using the Prompt Refiner skill — it's producing inconsistent outputs."*
Include what the prompt is for (the model it targets, the task, what's going wrong with current outputs) to get more targeted improvements.
### Cursor
Add the "Prompt / Instructions" section to your `.cursorrules` file. Paste your prompt into the chat and ask for a refinement.
### Codex
Paste your original prompt and a description of what output you're trying to achieve, then include the instructions below.
