What it does

Prompt Engineering is an agent skill from NeverSight/learn-skills.dev. Master prompt engineering for AI models: LLMs, image generators, video models. Techniques: chain-of-thought, few-shot, system prompts, negative prompts. Models: Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, FLUX, Veo, Stable Diffusion prompting. Use for: better AI outputs, consistent results, complex tasks, optimization. Triggers: prompt engineering, how to prompt, better prompts, prompt tips, prompting guide, llm prompting, image prompt, ai prompting, prompt optimization, prompt template, prompt structure, effective prompts, prompt…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files (for example `stats.json`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Prompt engineering. It works with Stable Diffusion. The repository describes itself as: Curated high-quality AI Agent Skills. Search, install, copy and share. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, and other AI coding tools.

When your agent uses it

  • : better AI outputs
  • Consistent results

Example prompts

  • “/prompt-engineering”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(belt *)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08f9d22. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(belt *)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • inference.sh
    • cloud.inference.sh
    • raw.githubusercontent.com

    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

Prompt Engineering loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 202 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~136
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 202 words (~2,439 tokens).
