Prompt Optimizer

Enhance pseudo-code by adding missing parameters and improving clarity.

WHAT THIS DOES

Takes validated pseudo-code and:

1. Adds missing security parameters
2. Adds missing error handling
3. Adds missing validation rules
4. Improves parameter naming
5. Consolidates related parameters

OPTIMIZATION RULES

Add Security Parameters

If auth/security mentioned but incomplete:

CopyBefore: implement_api(endpoints=["/users"])
After:  implement_api(
          endpoints=["/users"],
          auth={"type": "jwt", "required": true},
          permissions={"read": "authenticated", "write": "admin"}
        )

Add Error Handling

If errors not specified:

CopyBefore: fetch_data(url="...")
After:  fetch_data(
          url="...",
          error_handling={
            "timeout": "retry_3_times",
            "network_error": "fallback_cache",
            "404": "return_empty"
          }
        )

Add Validation Rules

If validation missing:

CopyBefore: create_user(email, password)
After:  create_user(
          email,
          password,
          validation={
            "email": "valid_format_and_unique",
            "password": "min_8_chars_with_special"
          }
        )

Consolidate Parameters

Group related params:

CopyBefore: enable_cache=true, cache_type="redis", cache_ttl=3600
After:  cache={"enabled": true, "type": "redis", "ttl": "1h"}

OUTPUT FORMAT

Return optimized pseudo-code with comment explaining changes:

- Clarified: [list what was improved]

## Tokens

Before: [N] | After: [N] | Delta: [±N]

EXAMPLE

Input

Copybuild_api(
  type="rest",
  endpoints=["/users", "/tasks"]
)

Output

Copy# Optimized Pseudo-Code

build_api(
  type="rest",
  endpoints={
    "users": {
      "path": "/users",
      "methods": ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"],
      "auth_required": true
    },
    "tasks": {
      "path": "/tasks",
      "methods": ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"],
      "auth_required": true
    }
  },
  authentication={
    "type": "jwt",
    "token_expiry": "1h",
    "refresh_enabled": true
  },
  validation={
    "request_body": "json_schema",
    "query_params": "whitelist"
  },
  error_handling={
    "400": "validation_details",
    "401": "auth_required_message",
    "500": "generic_error"
  },
  rate_limiting={
    "enabled": true,
    "requests_per_minute": 60
  }
)

## Changes Made

- Added: Authentication configuration (JWT with refresh)
- Added: Validation rules for requests
- Added: Error handling strategy
- Added: Rate limiting configuration
- Consolidated: Endpoints with detailed method specifications

## Tokens

Before: 23 | After: 156 | Delta: +133

QUICK RULES

1. Never remove existing parameters
2. Always add security if auth mentioned
3. Always add error handling if missing
4. Always add validation if data input exists
5. Group related parameters into objects
6. Show token count before/after
