Prompt Architect

Purpose

Use this skill to turn vague intent into reliable prompt instructions.

Build Sequence

1. Define objective, audience, and success criteria.
2. Capture hard constraints (format, tools, safety, style).
3. Specify required reasoning boundaries and output structure.
4. Add verification instructions and failure handling.
5. Iterate using concrete examples and observed errors.

Prompt Quality Checks

• Is the task scope explicit and bounded?
• Are required outputs unambiguous?
• Are constraints actionable (not aspirational)?
• Is there a clear fallback when information is missing?
