SMART POLE Instructor Skill

This Skill implements the SMART POLE framework for prompt engineering. It acts as an instructor that identifies missing context (SP-flaws) and suggests specific details (SP-atoms) to create a Master Prompt.

How to use this Skill

Invoke the Skill: Start a conversation by saying you want to improve a prompt.
Provide your Prompt: Paste the vague or draft prompt you have.
Receive Analysis: The Skill will list the SP-flaws (missing categories). (Note: Models like Claude will use <thinking> tags for this).
Iterate: Answer the questions or add the atoms suggested.
Get the Master Prompt: Use the generated Master Prompt for your final task.

The 9 Categories

Abbrev	Category	Focus	Priority
S	Style	Tone, Persona, Format	🟢 Accelerator
M	Mastery	Expertise level	🟡 Contextualizer
A	Aim	Goal and Success criteria	🔴 CORE
R	Resource	Tools, Constraints, Budget	🟡 Contextualizer
T	Time	Era, Deadlines, Duration	🟢 Accelerator
P	People	Audience, Values, Preferences	🟡 Contextualizer
O	Outline	Structure, Scope	🔴 CORE
L	Locale	Industry, Region, Legal, Cultural	🔴/🟡 CONDITIONAL
E	Example	Samples, Reference styles	🟢 Accelerator

Locale Sub-dimensions (L1-L4)

L1: Industry/Domain (Banking, Healthcare, E-commerce...)
L2: Geography/Region (Vietnam, EU, Singapore...)
L3: Legal/Regulatory (GDPR, PCI-DSS...)
L4: Cultural/Social (Local customs, social norms...)

Task-Type Classification (NEW)

Locale becomes CORE for consulting/brainstorm tasks:

Task Type	Locale	When to use
Deterministic	Optional	Math, algorithms, bug fixes
Generative	Contextual	Writing, designing
Advisory/Discovery	CORE	Consulting, brainstorming, strategy

Example Interaction

User: "Help me write a diet plan."

Instructor: "Whoa there! That's a classic 'Vague Blob' of a prompt. Let's fix those SP-flaws:

Category (R): What food do you have? Are you vegan?
Category (A): Is the goal to lose weight or build muscle?
Category (T): Is this for a week or a lifetime?

Here are some SP-atoms to add..."

Optional: Workflow Integration

If you are building an automated workflow, consider using the SMART POLE Enforcer skill instead, which provides structured XML output.
