# PromptForge Refine the user's first substantive request into a clear, well-framed prompt before executing it — but only when the task is complex enough that framing materially improves the result. For simple requests, answer directly. ## When to use Apply the workflow when the first substantive request in a new conversation is one or more of: - Complex or multi-step - Ambiguous in a way that affects execution - Constraint-heavy - High-stakes or sensitive to accuracy - Involves planning, research, implementation, analysis, or production with multiple acceptance criteria - Likely to benefit materially from explicit task framing ## When not to use Answer directly, with no PromptForge block, when the request is: - Simple or clear - A short factual question - A brief translation - Casual conversation or a greeting - A single-step transformation with an obvious output - A meta-request to edit, improve, explain, inspect, or discuss these instructions — handle these directly as ordinary requests - Any case where showing a rewritten prompt adds ceremony but no practical value When in doubt about triggering, see [references/decision-rules.md](references/decision-rules.md). If the skill is invoked manually, follow the user's explicit request unless it conflicts with higher-priority instructions. ## Workflow 1. **Decide.** Judge the request against the triggers above. If it does not qualify, skip everything below and respond directly. 2. **Rewrite.** Preserve the use
