A Claude skill that writes the accurate prompts for any AI tool. Zero tokens or credits wasted. Full context and memory retention. No re-prompting your way to an answer you should have gotten on attempt one. **Works with:** Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Grok, Gemini, o1/o3, MiniMax, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Bolt, v0, Lovable, Devin, Perplexity, Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, Sora, Runway, ElevenLabs, Zapier, Make, and any AI tool you throw at it. --- ## ๐Ÿš€ Installation ### RECOMMENDED - Claude.ai (browser) 1. Download this repo as a ZIP 2. Go to **claude.ai โ†’ Sidebar โ†’ Customize โ†’ Skills โ†’ Upload a Skill** ### OR Clone directly into Claude Code skills directory (Not Suggested) ```bash mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills git clone https://github.com/nidhinjs/prompt-master.git ~/.claude/skills/prompt-master ``` ## ๐Ÿ”ฅ The Problem This Solves Every AI user wastes credits the same way: > Write vague prompt โ†’ get wrong output โ†’ re-prompt โ†’ get closer โ†’ re-prompt again โ†’ finally get what you wanted on attempt 4 That's 3 wasted API calls. Multiply by 50 prompts a day. That's real money and real time gone. ### The key insight > "The best prompt is not the longest. It's the one where every word is load-bearing." Most "prompt generators" make prompts longer. This skill makes them sharper. --- ## ๐ŸŽฏ Usage In Claude, you can invoke the skill naturally: ``` Write me a prompt for Cursor to refactor my auth module ``` ``` I need a prompt for Claude Code to build a REST API โ€” ask me what you need to know ``` ``` Here's a bad prompt I wrote for GPT-4o, fix it: [paste prompt] ``` ``` Generate a Midjourney prompt for a cyberpunk city at night ``` ``` I have a reference image โ€” help me write a prompt to edit just the head angle ``` ``` Break this prompt down and adapt it for Stable Diffusion ``` Or explicitly invoke it: ``` /prompt-master I want to ask Claude Code to build a todo app with React and Supabase ``` --- ## How It Works Prompt Master runs a structured pipeline on every request: 1. **Detects the target tool** โ€” figures out which AI system the prompt is for and routes silently to the right approach 2. **Extracts 9 dimensions of intent** โ€” task, input, output, constraints, context, audience, memory, success criteria, examples 3. **Asks targeted clarifying questions** โ€” max 3 questions if critical info is missing, never more 4. **Routes to the right framework** โ€” picks and applies the correct prompt architecture automatically, never shown to the user 5. **Applies safe techniques only** โ€” role assignment, few-shot examples, XML structure, grounding anchors, memory block as needed 6. **Checks model recency** โ€” verifies exact models and controls against official provider docs when the request depends on "latest" 7. **Runs a token efficiency audit** โ€” strips every word that doesn't change the output 8. **Delivers the prompt** โ€” one clean copyable block with a one-line strategy note --- ## Full Example #1: Generating Prompts for Images ### User Input ``` Write me a midjourney prompt for a realistic samurai standing in the rain at night ``` ### Generated Prompt ``` lone samurai standing in heavy rain at night, traditional armor, neon reflections on wet cobblestone street, cinematic lighting, dramatic shadows, fog, ultra detailed, photorealistic, shallow depth of field --ar 16:9 --v 6 --style raw negative: blurry, low quality, watermark, cartoon, anime, extra limbs ``` **๐ŸŽฏ Target:** Midjourney ยท **โšก Framework:** Visual Descriptor ยท **๐Ÿ’ฐ Tokens:** Light (~60) ยท **๐Ÿ’ก Strategy:** Comma-separated descriptors over prose, lighting and mood anchored early, aspect ratio and version locked, negative prompt prevents style drift. --- ## Full Example #2: Generating Prompts for Coding ### User Input ``` Build a claude code prompt for a landing page for a business dashboard that looks and feels exactly like notion - smooth animations, clean ui ``` ### Generated Prompt ``` Objective: Build a fully detailed, production-quality static landing page for a business dashboard product. Design must match Notion's exact aesthetic โ€” clean, minimal, typographic, with smooth animations throughout. Stack: Single HTML file with embedded CSS and vanilla JS. No frameworks. No external dependencies except Google Fonts (Inter). Design Spec โ€” match these exactly: - Background: #ffffff - Primary text: #1a1a1a - Secondary text: #6b7280 - Border color: #e5e7eb - Accent: #000000 - Font: Inter, weights 400 / 500 / 600 / 700 - Base spacing unit: 8px - Border radius: 6px on cards, 4px on buttons - Box shadows: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.08) only โ€” no dramatic shadows - Buttons: black fill, white text, no border radius above 6px Sections to build in order: 1. Navbar โ€” logo left, nav links center, "Get started free" CTA right. Sticky on scroll, adds subtle border-bottom on scroll with JS. 2. Hero โ€” large left-aligned heading (max 3 lines), subtext, two CTAs (primary black + secondary outlined), hero screenshot mockup placeholder (gray rounded card, 16:9 ratio). 3. Logos bar โ€” "Trusted by teams at..." with 5 placeholder company names in muted gray, centered. 4. Features โ€” 3-column grid. Each card: icon (use emoji), bold title, 2-line description. Hover state: border darkens to #d1d5db, translateY(-2px), transition 200ms ease. 5. How it works โ€” alternating left/right layout, 3 steps. Number badge, heading, description, placeholder screenshot card. 6. Pricing โ€” 2 tiers side by side. Free tier: outlined card. Pro tier: black background, white text, "Most popular" badge. List 4 features each with checkmarks. 7. CTA banner โ€” full-width dark section, centered heading, subtext, single CTA button. 8. Footer โ€” 4-column links, copyright line, minimal. Animations โ€” implement all of these: - Fade-in + translateY(20px) to translateY(0) on scroll for every section, using IntersectionObserver. Threshold 0.15. Duration 500ms ease-out. - Staggered animation on feature cards: 100ms delay between each card. - Navbar CTA button: background transitions from black to #333 on hover, 200ms ease. - Hero CTA primary: same hover transition. Secondary: background goes from transparent to #f3f4f6 on hover. - Smooth scroll on all anchor links. - Navbar border-bottom fades in on scroll past 60px using JS scroll event. Constraints: - Single file only โ€” all CSS and JS embedded, no external files - No dependencies except Google Fonts via CDN link tag - All placeholder images replaced with styled gray div elements - Must be pixel-perfect at 375px mobile and 1440px desktop - No CSS frameworks, no utility classes from external sources Done When: - All 8 sections render correctly at both breakpoints - All animations trigger on scroll without layout shift - Navbar sticks and border appears on scroll - Hover states work on all interactive elements - Opens in browser with zero console errors ``` **๐ŸŽฏ Target:** Claude Code ยท **๐Ÿ’ฐ Tokens:** Medium (~380) ยท **๐Ÿ’ก Strategy:** Every vague Notion aesthetic cue translated into exact hex values and pixel specs โ€” Claude Code cannot guess wrong. Animations defined with exact timing, method, and trigger so there is no interpretation needed. --- ## ๐Ÿค Works With Any AI Tool Prompt Master includes specific profiles for 20+ tools.

Task Patterns (7)

 | # | Pattern | Before | After | |---|---------|--------|-------| | 1 | **Vague task verb** | "help me with my code" | "Refactor `getUserData()` to use async/await and handle null returns" | | 2 | **Two tasks in one prompt** | "explain AND rewrite this function" | Split: explain first, rewrite second | | 3 | **No success criteria** | "make it better" | "Done when function passes existing unit tests and handles null input" | | 4 | **Over-permissive agent** | "do whatever it takes" | Explicit allowed + forbidden actions list | | 5 | **Emotional task description** | "it's totally broken, fix everything" | "Throws uncaught TypeError on line 43 when `user` is null" | | 6 | **Build-the-whole-thing** | "build my entire app" | Break into Prompt 1 (scaffold), Prompt 2 (feature), Prompt 3 (polish) | | 7 | **Implicit reference** | "now add the other thing we discussed" | Always restate the full task, never reference "the thing we discussed" |

Context Patterns (6)

 ### Context Patterns | # | Pattern | Before | After | |---|---------|--------|-------| | 8 | **Assumed prior knowledge** | "continue where we left off" | Include Memory Block with all prior decisions | | 9 | **No project context** | "write a cover letter" | "PM role at B2B fintech, 2yr SWE experience, shipped 3 features as tech lead" | | 10 | **Forgotten stack** | New prompt contradicts prior tech choice | Always include Memory Block | | 11 | **Hallucination invite** | "what do experts say about X?" | "Cite only sources you are certain of. If uncertain, say so." | | 12 | **Undefined audience** | "write something for users" | "Non-technical B2B buyers, no coding knowledge, decision-maker level" | | 13 | **No mention of prior failures** | (blank) | "I already tried X and it failed because Y. Do not suggest X." |

Format Patterns (6)

 | # | Pattern | Before | After | |---|---------|--------|-------| | 14 | **Missing output format** | "explain this concept" | "3 bullet points, each under 20 words, one-sentence summary at top" | | 15 | **Implicit length** | "write a summary" | "Write a summary in exactly 3 sentences" | | 16 | **No role assignment** | (blank) | "You are a senior backend engineer specializing in Node.js and PostgreSQL" | | 17 | **Vague aesthetic adjectives** | "make it look professional" | "Monochrome palette, 16px base font, 24px line height, no decorative elements" | | 18 | **No negative prompts (image AI)** | "a portrait of a woman" | Add: "no watermark, no blur, no extra fingers, no distortion, no text" | | 19 | **Prose prompt for Midjourney** | Full descriptive sentence | "subject, style, mood, lighting, --ar 16:9 --v 6" |

Scope Patterns (6)

 | # | Pattern | Before | After | |---|---------|--------|-------| | 20 | **No scope boundary** | "fix my app" | "Fix only login form validation in `src/auth.js`. Touch nothing else." | | 21 | **No stack constraints** | "build a React component" | "React 18, TypeScript strict, no external libraries, Tailwind only" | | 22 | **No stop condition for agents** | "build the whole feature" | Explicit stop conditions + checkpoint after each step | | 23 | **No file path for IDE AI** | "update the login function" | "Update `handleLogin()` in `src/pages/Login.tsx` only" | | 24 | **Wrong template for tool** | GPT-style prose used in Cursor | Adapted to File-Scope Template with path + scope | | 25 | **Pasting entire codebase** | Full repo context every prompt | Scoped to relevant function and file only |

Reasoning Patterns (5)

 | # | Pattern | Before | After | |---|---------|--------|-------| | 26 | **No audit contract for logic task** | "which approach is better?" | Request the recommendation, assumptions, criteria, evidence, and checks | | 27 | **Requesting hidden reasoning** | "show your chain of thought" | Ask for a concise rationale, evidence, and verification instead | | 28 | **Expecting inter-session memory** | "you already know my project" | Re-provide the Memory Block in every new session | | 29 | **Contradicting prior work** | New prompt ignores earlier architecture | Include established decisions in the Memory Block | | 30 | **No grounding rule for factual tasks** | "summarize what experts say about X" | Require verifiable sources and explicit uncertainty |

Agentic Patterns (7)

 | # | Pattern | Before | After | |---|---------|--------|-------| | 31 | **No starting state** | "build me a REST API" | "Empty Node.js project, Express installed, `src/app.js` exists" | | 32 | **No target state** | "add authentication" | "`/src/middleware/auth.js` with JWT verify. `POST /login` and `POST /register` in `/src/routes/auth.js`" | | 33 | **Silent agent** | No progress output | "After each step output: โœ… [what was completed]" | | 34 | **Unlocked filesystem** | No file restrictions | "Only edit files inside `src/`. Do not touch `package.json`, `.env`, or any config file." | | 35 | **No human review trigger** | Agent decides everything | "Stop and ask before: deleting any file, adding any dependency, or touching the database schema" | | 36 | **Vague first turn for an agentic model** | "fix the auth bug" with no scope, files, or criteria | Front-load outcome, context, scope, boundaries, and acceptance criteria | | 37 | **Context rot on long sessions** | Repeated corrections leave stale assumptions in context | Start fresh for unrelated work or compact around current decisions and state |
--- ## ๐Ÿง  Memory Block System When your conversation has history, Prompt Master pulls out prior decisions and prepends a Memory Block so the AI never contradicts earlier work: ``` ## Memory (Carry Forward from Previous Context) - Stack: React 18 + TypeScript + Supabase - Auth uses JWT stored in httpOnly cookies, not localStorage - Component naming convention: PascalCase, no default exports - Design system: Tailwind only, no custom CSS files - Architecture: no Redux, context API only ``` This is the single biggest fix for long sessions. Most wasted re-prompts come from the AI forgetting what you already decided. --- ## โ„น๏ธ Version History - **1.8.0** โ€” Current-model refresh.
