# 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. ## The Prompt / Instructions for the Agent When asked to refine a prompt, follow these steps: 1. **...
