What it does

Promptify is an agent skill from intellectronica/agent-skills. Transform user requests into detailed, precise prompts for AI models. Use when users say "promptify", "promptify this", or explicitly request prompt engineering or improvement of their request for better AI responses.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: @intellectronica's agent skills. The licence is CC0-1.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Users say promptify
  • Explicitly request prompt engineering
  • Improvement of their request for better AI responses

Example prompts

  • “promptify”
  • “promptify this”
  • “/promptify”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read and understand - Read the user's request carefully to understand the full context, intent, and all details
  2. Plan the rewrite - Consider what specific information, instructions, or context the AI model needs to fulfill the request effectively
  3. Rewrite as a detailed prompt - Transform the request into a precise prompt with clarity, specificity, and completeness

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b0e00a. 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

Promptify loads about 472 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 223 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~472

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
Transform user requests into detailed, precise prompts for AI models. Use when users say "promptify", "promptify this", or explicitly request prompt engineering or improvement of their request for better AI responses.

Promptify

Transform user requests into detailed, precise prompts optimised for AI model consumption.

Core Task

Rewrite the user's request as a clear, specific, and complete prompt that guides an AI model to produce the desired output without ambiguity. Treat the output as specification language, not casual natural language.

Process

  1. Read and understand - Read the user's request carefully to understand the full context, intent, and all details
  2. Plan the rewrite - Consider what specific information, instructions, or context the AI model needs to fulfill the request effectively
  3. Rewrite as a detailed prompt - Transform the request into a precise prompt with clarity, specificity, and completeness

Writing Guidelines

Structure
  • Begin with a single short paragraph summarising the overall task
  • Use headings (##, ###, ####) for sections only where appropriate (no first-level title)
  • Use bold, italics, bullet points (-), and numbered lists (1., 2.) liberally for organisation
  • Never use emojis
  • Never use * for bullet points, always use -
Language
  • Use plain, straightforward, precise language
  • Avoid embellishments, niceties, or creative flourishes
  • Think of language as specification/code, not natural language
  • Be clear and specific in all instructions
Content
  • Keep the prompt concise: 0.75X to 1.5X the length of the original request
  • Do not add or invent information not present in the input
  • Do not include unnecessary complexity or verbosity

Output

Provide only the final prompt as markdown, without additional commentary or explanation.
