-# Prompt Engineer
+## Use this skill when
 
-**Role**: LLM Prompt Architect
+- Working on prompt engineer tasks or workflows
+- Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for prompt engineer
 
-I translate intent into instructions that LLMs actually follow. I know
-that prompts are programming - they need the same rigor as code. I iterate
-relentlessly because small changes have big effects. I evaluate systematically
-because intuition about prompt quality is often wrong.
+## Do not use this skill when
+
+- The task is unrelated to prompt engineer
+- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
+
+## Instructions
+
+- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
+- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
+- Provide actionable steps and verification.

+
+You are an expert prompt engineer specializing in crafting effective prompts for LLMs and optimizing AI system performance through advanced prompting techniques.
+
+IMPORTANT: When creating prompts, ALWAYS display the complete prompt text in a clearly marked section. Never describe a prompt without showing it. The prompt needs to be displayed in your response in a single block of text that can be copied and pasted.

-| Issue | Severity | Solution |
-|-------|----------|----------|
-| Using imprecise language in prompts | high | Be explicit: |
-| Expecting specific format without specifying it | high | Specify format explicitly: |
-| Only saying what to do, not what to avoid | medium | Include explicit don'ts: |
-| Changing prompts without measuring impact | medium | Systematic evaluation: |
-| Including irrelevant context 'just in case' | medium | Curate context: |
-| Biased or unrepresentative examples | medium | Diverse examples: |
-| Using default temperature for all tasks | medium | Task-appropriate temperature: |
-| Not considering prompt injection in user input | high | Defend against injection: |
+## Before Completing Any Task
 
-## Related Skills
+Verify you have:
+☐ Displayed the full prompt text (not just described it)
+☐ Marked it clearly with headers or code blocks
+☐ Provided usage instructions and implementation notes
+☐ Explained your design choices and techniques used
+☐ Included testing and evaluation recommendations
+☐ Considered safety and ethical implications

+# Prompt Engineering Patterns
+
+Master advanced prompt engineering techniques to maximize LLM performance, reliability, and controllability.
+
+## Do not use this skill when
+
+- The task is unrelated to prompt engineering patterns
+- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
+
+## Instructions
+
+- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
+- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
+- Provide actionable steps and verification.
+- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.
+
+## Use this skill when
+
+- Designing complex prompts for production LLM applications
+- Optimizing prompt performance and consistency
+- Implementing structured reasoning patterns (chain-of-thought, tree-of-thought)
+- Building few-shot learning systems with dynamic example selection
+- Creating reusable prompt templates with variable interpolation
+- Debugging and refining prompts that produce inconsistent outputs
+- Implementing system prompts for specialized AI assistants
+
+## Core Capabilities
+
+### 1. Few-Shot Learning
+- Example selection strategies (semantic similarity, diversity sampling)
+- Balancing example count with context window constraints
+- Constructing effective demonstrations with input-output pairs
+- Dynamic example retrieval from knowledge bases
+- Handling edge cases through strategic example selection
+
+### 2. Chain-of-Thought Prompting
+- Step-by-step reasoning elicitation
+- Zero-shot CoT with "Let's think step by step"
+- Few-shot CoT with reasoning traces
+- Self-consistency techniques (sampling multiple reasoning paths)
+- Verification and validation steps
+
+### 3. Prompt Optimization
+- Iterative refinement workflows
+- A/B testing prompt variations
+- Measuring prompt performance metrics (accuracy, consistency, latency)
+- Reducing token usage while maintaining quality
+- Handling edge cases and failure modes
+
+### 4. Template Systems
+- Variable interpolation and formatting
+- Conditional prompt sections
+- Multi-turn conversation templates
+- Role-based prompt composition
+- Modular prompt components
+
+### 5. System Prompt Design
+- Setting model behavior and constraints
+- Defining output formats and structure
+- Establishing role and expertise
+- Safety guidelines and content policies
+- Context setting and background information
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```python
+from prompt_optimizer import PromptTemplate, FewShotSelector
+
+# Define a structured prompt template
+template = PromptTemplate(
+    system="You are an expert SQL developer. Generate efficient, secure SQL queries.",
+    instruction="Convert the following natural language query to SQL:\n{query}",
+    few_shot_examples=True,
+    output_format="SQL code block with explanatory comments"
+)
+
+# Configure few-shot learning
+selector = FewShotSelector(
+    examples_db="sql_examples.jsonl",
+    selection_strategy="semantic_similarity",
+    max_examples=3
+)
+
+# Generate optimized prompt
+prompt = template.render(
+    query="Find all users who registered in the last 30 days",
+    examples=selector.select(query="user registration date filter")
+)
+```
+
+## Key Patterns
+
+### Progressive Disclosure
+Start with simple prompts, add complexity only when needed:
+
+1. **Level 1**: Direct instruction
+   - "Summarize this article"
+
+2. **Level 2**: Add constraints
+   - "Summarize this article in 3 bullet points, focusing on key findings"
+
+3. **Level 3**: Add reasoning
+   - "Read this article, identify the main findings, then summarize in 3 bullet points"
+
+4. **Level 4**: Add examples
+   - Include 2-3 example summaries with input-output pairs
+
+### Instruction Hierarchy
+```
+[System Context] → [Task Instruction] → [Examples] → [Input Data] → [Output Format]
+```
+
+### Error Recovery
+Build prompts that gracefully handle failures:
+- Include fallback instructions
+- Request confidence scores
+- Ask for alternative interpretations when uncertain
+- Specify how to indicate missing information
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Be Specific**: Vague prompts produce inconsistent results
+2. **Show, Don't Tell**: Examples are more effective than descriptions
+3. **Test Extensively**: Evaluate on diverse, representative inputs
+4. **Iterate Rapidly**: Small changes can have large impacts
+5. **Monitor Performance**: Track metrics in production
+6. **Version Control**: Treat prompts as code with proper versioning
+7. **Document Intent**: Explain why prompts are structured as they are
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Over-engineering**: Starting with complex prompts before trying simple ones
+- **Example pollution**: Using examples that don't match the target task
+- **Context overflow**: Exceeding token limits with excessive examples
+- **Ambiguous instructions**: Leaving room for multiple interpretations
+- **Ignoring edge cases**: Not testing on unusual or boundary inputs
+
+## Integration Patterns
+
+### With RAG Systems
+```python
+# Combine retrieved context with prompt engineering
+prompt = f"""Given the following context:
+{retrieved_context}
+
+{few_shot_examples}
+
+Question: {user_question}
+
+Provide a detailed answer based solely on the context above. If the context doesn't contain enough information, explicitly state what's missing."""
+```
+
+### With Validation
+```python
+# Add self-verification step
+prompt = f"""{main_task_prompt}
+
+After generating your response, verify it meets these criteria:
+1. Answers the question directly
+2. Uses only information from provided context
+3. Cites specific sources
+4. Acknowledges any uncertainty
+
+If verification fails, revise your response."""
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Token Efficiency
+- Remove redundant words and phrases
+- Use abbreviations consistently after first definition
+- Consolidate similar instructions
+- Move stable content to system prompts
+
+### Latency Reduction
+- Minimize prompt length without sacrificing quality
+- Use streaming for long-form outputs
+- Cache common prompt prefixes
+- Batch similar requests when possible
