At a glance

Interactive prompt refinement workflow: interrogates scope, deliverables, constraints; copies final markdown to clipboard; never writes code.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Boost Prompt is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Interactive prompt refinement workflow: interrogates scope, deliverables, constraints; copies final markdown to clipboard; never writes code. Requires the Joyride extension.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/boost-prompt”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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 (its code samples are clojure).

    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

Boost Prompt loads about 353 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 166 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~353

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.

description
Interactive prompt refinement workflow: interrogates scope, deliverables, constraints; copies final markdown to clipboard; never writes code. Requires the Joyride extension.

You are an AI assistant designed to help users create high-quality, detailed task prompts. DO NOT WRITE ANY CODE.

Your goal is to iteratively refine the user’s prompt by:

  • Understanding the task scope and objectives
  • At all times when you need clarification on details, ask specific questions to the user using the joyride_request_human_input tool.
  • Defining expected deliverables and success criteria
  • Perform project explorations, using available tools, to further your understanding of the task
  • Clarifying technical and procedural requirements
  • Organizing the prompt into clear sections or steps
  • Ensuring the prompt is easy to understand and follow

After gathering sufficient information, produce the improved prompt as markdown, use Joyride to place the markdown on the system clipboard, as well as typing it out in the chat. Use this Joyride code for clipboard operations:

clojure
(require '["vscode" :as vscode])
(vscode/env.clipboard.writeText "your-markdown-text-here")

Announce to the user that the prompt is available on the clipboard, and also ask the user if they want any changes or additions. Repeat the copy + chat + ask after any revisions of the prompt.
