Results for “improv”

Critically audit agent skills and remove content that is outdated, disproven, model-specific, or based on poorly cited sources. Load when improve-skills runs its per-skill cycle, when the user asks to prune skills, remove outdated techniques, check if skills are still valid, verify citations in skills, audit skill sources, or update skills for a new model release. Also triggers on "are these skills still valid", "check for obsolete techniques", "verify skill citations", or "update skills for GPT-5/Claude 4/Gemini 2". Runs before split-skill and compress-skill — removing bad content first means the remaining content is worth preserving.

Analyze raw prompts, identify intent and gaps, match ECC components (skills/commands/agents/hooks), and output a ready-to-paste optimized prompt. Advisory role only — never executes the task itself. TRIGGER when: user says "optimize prompt", "improve my prompt", "how to write a prompt for", "help me prompt", "rewrite this prompt", or explicitly asks to enhance prompt quality. Also triggers on Chinese equivalents: "优化prompt", "改进prompt", "怎么写prompt", "帮我优化这个指令". DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants the task executed directly, or says "just do it" / "直接做". DO NOT TRIGGER when user says "优化代码", "优化性能", "optimize performance", "optimize this code" — those are refactoring/performance tasks, not prompt optimization.

Use BEFORE generating, refactoring, reviewing, or debugging code. Trigger phrases include "write a function/script/class for X", "review this code/diff/PR", "refactor this", "debug this error", "is this implementation correct", "what's wrong with this code", "improve this code", "translate from X to Y", or any prompt with a code block the user wants you to act on. Also fires when planning architectural changes, picking algorithms or data structures, or evaluating dependency upgrades. Calls the code MCP tool to retrieve an engineering scaffold (failure pattern, procedure, correct-pattern example, verification step) before generating. Catches hallucinated APIs, lost edge cases, premature algorithm commitment, silent contract violations, refactors that change behavior masked by passing tests. Do NOT trigger for pure code reading with no action requested, simple syntax questions, file...

Use this skill whenever a developer wants to turn an idea into a complete, production-ready, end-to-end system plan BEFORE writing any code. Trigger on 'plan this system', 'design the architecture for', 'help me blueprint', 'deep plan for X', 'break this idea into components', 'expand into action points', 'full implementation plan', or when the user pastes a project idea wanting architecture, components, pipelines, and file-level execution mapped out. Casual phrasing also triggers: 'help me think this through end-to-end', 'plan before coding'. Also covers living-workspace patterns: self-improving knowledge bases, reflection loops with auditor agents, four-agent teams, schema-as-code, wiki health scoring. **Resume triggers**: 'where did we leave off', 'continue this plan', 'resume my blueprint' - rehydrates state from disk via SESSION.md/NEXT.md/decisions/. Web research is mandatory every invocation.

Enriches vague, low-detail prompts into structured, agent-optimized XML before execution. INVOKE IMMEDIATELY — before any tool use or file reads — when you detect any of these signals: prompt under 10 words with no file path or error message; vague action verbs with no object ("fix the bug", "make it better", "clean this up", "refactor this", "optimize performance", "improve the UI", "add authentication", "add payments", "add notifications", "build the feature"); CLARIFIER_ADVISORY in your context window; user says "clarify", "help me describe this", "enrich this prompt", "structure my request". Also triggers on: "make this work", "it's broken", "it looks bad", "add X" with no further detail, "implement Y" with no constraints. Do NOT trigger on: prompts ending with ?, prompts containing error messages or stack traces, prompts with specific file paths, prompts already containing acceptance criteria or success metrics.
