# Prompt-Pack — Sequenced, Self-Contained Prompts for Big Work Across Chats
A prompt pack turns one large, risky job into an ordered set of **small, self-contained prompts**. Each prompt is pasted into a *fresh* chat, does exactly one shippable unit of work, verifies itself, and stops for review. The pack file lives in the repo and is the durable source of truth — so work survives context limits, spans multiple chats and tools, and never leaves the app half-broken.
This skill encodes a battle-tested format (refined across many real packs) so every pack you author is consistent, safe, and resumable, and every pack prompt you execute follows the same disciplined loop.
## Why this exists (the problem it solves)
- **Context/token limits kill long jobs.** A 900-turn chat runs out of room mid-task; the next chat has amnesia. Packs make each unit fit comfortably in one fresh chat.
- **Big changes are risky.** Decomposing into ordered, independently-shippable steps with explicit guardrails keeps the app working between every step.
- **Work relays across chats and tools.** A self-contained prompt can go to a new Claude chat or be pasted into another agent (e.g. Codex via `AGENTS.md`) with no loss.
- **Plans evaporate.** Writing the pack to a file in `docs/` means a future session — or a confused one — can be pointed at the source of truth.
## When to use this
**Strong triggers — invoke without asking:**
- "Make a prompt pack for [X]" / "turn this into prompts" / "break this into
