What it does

Prompt Architect is an agent skill from repowise-dev/claude-code-prompts. Designs clear, testable prompts for agent workflows. Use when creating new prompts, refining weak prompts, or establishing reusable prompting patterns.

Its SKILL.md is about 230 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `reference.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Prompt engineering. The repository describes itself as: Independently authored prompt templates for AI coding agents — system prompts, tool prompts, agent delegation, memory management, and multi-agent coordination. Informed by… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating new prompts
  • Refining weak prompts
  • Establishing reusable prompting patterns

Example prompts

  • “Use the prompt-architect skill to design clear, testable prompts for agent workflows. An agent skill from repowise-dev/claude-code-prompts”
  • “/prompt-architect”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define objective, audience, and success criteria.
  2. Capture hard constraints (format, tools, safety, style).
  3. Specify required reasoning boundaries and output structure.
  4. Add verification instructions and failure handling.
  5. Iterate using concrete examples and observed errors.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 989fc0e. 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

Prompt Architect loads about 231 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 92 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~231

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.

Prompt Architect

Purpose

Use this skill to turn vague intent into reliable prompt instructions.

Build Sequence

  1. Define objective, audience, and success criteria.
  2. Capture hard constraints (format, tools, safety, style).
  3. Specify required reasoning boundaries and output structure.
  4. Add verification instructions and failure handling.
  5. Iterate using concrete examples and observed errors.

Prompt Quality Checks

  • Is the task scope explicit and bounded?
  • Are required outputs unambiguous?
  • Are constraints actionable (not aspirational)?
  • Is there a clear fallback when information is missing?

Reference

Use reference.md for compact templates, anti-patterns, and refinement loops.
