Prompt Assembly

Prompt Assembly

Assemble coder and verifier prompts from templates.

When to Use

When user says "build a prompt", "assemble a prompt", "assemble prompts", or "generate a prompt" for dispatching work to coding and verification agents.

Gathering Information

Before assembling, gather:

Required

1. Project - Which project? (01-api, 02-ui, etc.)
2. Job name - Short name for filenames (e.g., "thinking-support")
3. Job overview - What does this work accomplish?
4. Current state - Where are we now?
5. Technical spec - The work to be done (can be inline or from file)
6. Key files - Which files are involved?

Definition of Done

7. Job-specific DoD items - Beyond standard checks (tests/format/lint/typecheck)

Optional

8. Project why - Why we need this work
9. Known issues - Bugs or errors to address
10. Avoidances - What should the agent NOT do?

Assembly Process

1. Gather answers using questions.md
2. Create config.json with the data
3. Run: node .claude/skills/prompt-assembly/assemble.js --config config.json
4. Review generated prompts

Output Options

Output directory priority:

1. --output /path CLI flag
2. outputDir field in config.json
3. Default: projects/{project}/prompts/

Examples:

# Default output
node .claude/skills/prompt-assembly/assemble.js --config config.json

# Custom output directory
node .claude/skills/prompt-assembly/assemble.js --config config.json --output /path/to/project/dir

• {job-name}-verifier.md - For verification agent
