name: prompt-enhancer description: Enhance and refine prompts for AI coding agents using Chain-of-Thought reasoning. Use when user asks to improve, optimize, rewrite, or enhance a prompt. Transforms vague requests into structured, high-context instructions for Codex, Claude Code, or Gemini CLI.

Prompt Enhancer Skill

Transforms vague or simple prompts into structured, high-context instructions optimized for AI coding agents.

When to Use

• User asks to "improve my prompt" or "make this prompt better"
• User wants to "optimize this instruction for Codex"
• User needs help writing a better prompt for an AI agent
• User mentions "prompt engineering" or "rewrite this"

Quick Start

Run the enhance script with the user's prompt:

Copypython3 ~/.codex/skills/prompt-enhancer/scripts/enhance.py "user's raw prompt here"

How It Works

The enhancer applies these principles:

1. Add Context: What project/tech stack is involved?
2. Clarify Objective: What exactly should be accomplished?
3. Chain of Thought: Add step-by-step reasoning instructions
4. Define Constraints: What are the boundaries and requirements?
5. Specify Output: What format should the result be in?

Output Format

The enhanced prompt follows this structure:

Copy# Context
[Refined context description]

# Objective
[Precise task definition]

# Step-by-Step Instructions
1. [Step 1]
2. [Step 2]
...

# Constraints
- [Constraint 1]
- [Constraint 2]

Additional Resources

• For the system prompt template, see TEMPLATE.md

Alternative: Use pe CLI

If you have the pe CLI installed globally:

Copype "user's raw prompt here"

Install via: npm install -g prompt-enhancer (or clone repo and npm link)
