# Prompt Engineer
Expert prompt engineering skill that transforms rough ideas into well-structured, production-ready prompts optimized for LLMs.
## When to Activate
- User provides a rough prompt/idea and wants it refined
- User asks to create/design/optimize a prompt for any LLM
- User needs prompt architecture for agents, RAG, or multi-step workflows
- User asks about prompting techniques or best practices
## Workflow
### 1. Analyze Input
Identify from user's request:
- **Target model** (Claude, GPT, Llama, etc.) — default: Claude
- **Use case** (agent system prompt, task prompt, RAG, chat, etc.)
- **Domain** (technical, creative, business, etc.)
- **Constraints** (token limits, output format, safety requirements)
### 2. Apply Techniques
Select appropriate techniques from `references/techniques.md` based on use case:
- Complex reasoning → Chain-of-Thought, Tree-of-Thoughts
- Safety-critical → Constitutional AI patterns
- Data extraction → Structured output, JSON mode
- Multi-step tasks → Prompt chaining, agent patterns
- Knowledge-heavy → RAG optimization
### 3. Craft the Prompt
Follow model-specific guidelines from `references/model-optimization.md`:
- Structure with clear sections (role, context, instructions, output format)
- Include examples where beneficial (few-shot)
- Add constraints and guardrails
- Optimize for token efficiency
### 4. Deliver Output
**MANDATORY format** — always include ALL sections:
