Architect PROSE-compliant agent primitives for AI-native development.

  • Works in 6 steps: Clarify scope — What exactly should the… → Assess complexity — Single agent?… → Select pattern — See patterns.md → …
  • Building AI-native apps from requirements (I want an app that...)
  • SKILL.md covers Decision Flow, Greenfield Mode, Brownfield Mode and Audit Mode, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Prose Architect is an agent skill from danielmeppiel/awesome-ai-native. Architect PROSE-compliant agent primitives for AI-native development. Use when (1) Building AI-native apps from requirements ("I want an app that...") (2) Making legacy projects AI-native (3) Designing agent workflows (4) Auditing existing primitives for reliability issues. PROSE = Progressive Disclosure, Reduced Scope, Orchestrated Composition, Safety Boundaries, Explicit Hierarchy

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/analysis.md`, `references/constraints.md` and `references/patterns.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Learn to master GitHub Copilot with AI Native Development practices.

When your agent uses it

  • Building AI-native apps from requirements (I want an app that...)
  • Making legacy projects AI-native
  • Designing agent workflows
  • Auditing existing primitives for reliability issues

Example prompts

  • “I want an app that...”
  • “/prose-architect”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Clarify scope — What exactly should the AI-native solution do?
  2. Assess complexity — Single agent? Multi-agent? Full stack?
  3. Select pattern — See patterns.md
  4. Architect primitives — Propose file structure
  5. Seek approval — Present architecture before generating
  6. Generate — Create primitive files on approval

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 806779f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Prose Architect loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 434 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 434 words (~1,116 tokens).

“Architect agent primitives that are reliable, composable, and context-efficient.”
