Three independent assets for improving prompt quality. Use them on their own — they are not chained.

A formal agent skill definition describing prompt-engineering competencies, protocols, and a token-budget framework.

How to use:

• As an agent skill: load it into an agent framework (e.g., Claude Skills, custom agent configs) as a persistent capability the agent can invoke.
• As a system prompt: paste it into the system / developer message slot of an LLM session to make the model behave as a prompt-engineering specialist for the whole conversation.
• As a reference: read it directly to learn the methodology, competencies, and token-budgeting discipline it codifies.

Correct possible system paths for placing SKILLS-expert-prompt-engineering-optimization.md (or its content as SKILL.md) when using it with AI in an IDE:

1. .agents folder (for agent/framework configurations)

your-project/.agents/prompt-engineering-expert/SKILLS-expert-prompt-engineering-optimization.md

~/.agents/skills/prompt-engineering-expert/SKILLS-expert-prompt-engineering-optimization.md

2. Project-specific skill (recommended — version-controlled)

your-project/.claude/skills/prompt-engineering-expert/SKILLS-expert-prompt-engineering-optimization.md

3. Personal/global skill (available across all projects)

~/.claude/skills/prompt-engineering-expert/SKILLS-expert-prompt-engineering-optimization.md

4. Direct project root (simple system prompt reference)

your-project/SKILLS-expert-prompt-engineering-optimization.md

5. Custom skills directory in repo

your-project/skills/prompt-expert/SKILLS-expert-prompt-engineering-optimization.md

your-project/.claude/skills/prompt-expert/SKILLS-expert-prompt-engineering-optimization.md

6. Alternative IDE (e.g. Cursor)

your-project/.cursor/skills/prompt-engineering-expert/SKILLS-expert-prompt-engineering-optimization.md

Best for: long-running agents, repeated prompt-optimization workflows, or teams standardizing on a shared methodology.

A ready-to-use prompt template that refactors any prompt you paste into it.

How to use:

1. Open highest-quality-most-effective-prompt-possible.md and copy its entire contents.
2. Paste it into a chat with any capable LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.).
3. Replace [Insert the user's prompt here] with your actual prompt; what you want the AI to do.
4. Submit. The model returns only the Refined Prompt — no commentary.
5. Copy and Paste the Refined Prompt into a New Chat, and press Submit.

Best for: quick, one-shot prompt rewrites when you just need a better version of a draft.

A ready-to-use prompt template that generates an image prompt based on any file you reference or attach to it.

How to use:

1. Open image-prompt.md and copy its entire contents.
2. Paste it into a chat with any capable LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.).
3. Re-word the sentence ""in the attached reference image (the uploaded file at [file path])"" so that the AI understands what file you are referencing. For example ""in the attached reference image."" or """"in the uploaded file at path/to/file.ext""
4. Submit. The model returns only the Refined Prompt — no commentary.
5. Copy and Paste the Refined Prompt into a New Chat in an Image AI Generator, and press Submit.

Best for: quick, one-shot prompt rewrites when you just need a better version of a draft.
