Comprehensive system for designing, testing, optimizing, and managing clear, role-aware, actionable, focused, and testable prompts for AI models.
Comprehensive system for designing, testing, optimizing, and managing clear, role-aware, actionable, focused, and testable prompts for AI models.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Complete system for designing, testing, optimizing, and managing prompts for LLMs and AI agents. From first draft to production-grade prompt libraries.
Every prompt should pass CRAFT before use: DimensionQuestionFixClearCan someone else read this and know exactly what to do?Remove ambiguity, add examplesRole-awareDoes the AI know WHO it is and WHO it's helping?Add role/persona contextActionableIs there a specific output format or action requested?Define deliverable shapeFocusedDoes it do ONE thing well vs. many things poorly?Split into chainTestableCan you objectively judge if the output is good?Add success criteria

MethodWhen to useExampleInlineShort context (<500 words)"Given this customer complaint: [text]"XML tagsMultiple context blocks<document>, <conversation>, <data>File referenceLong documents"Read the attached PDF and..."Variable slotsReusable templates{{customer_name}}, {{product}}Retrieved contextRAG/search results"Based on these search results: [results]" XML tag best practice: <context> <customer_profile> Name: {{name}} Plan: {{plan}} Tenure: {{months}} months Recent tickets: {{ticket_count}} </customer_profile> <complaint> {{complaint_text}} </complaint> </context> Given the customer profile and complaint above, draft a response that: 1. Acknowledges the specific issue 2. Proposes a concrete resolution 3. Includes a retention offer if tenure > 12 months
Format specification: Return your analysis as JSON: { "sentiment": "positive|negative|neutral", "confidence": 0.0-1.0, "key_phrases": ["phrase1", "phrase2"], "summary": "one sentence", "action_required": true|false } Few-shot examples (the single most powerful technique): Classify these support tickets by urgency. Example 1: Input: "My account was hacked and someone transferred money out" Output: { "urgency": "critical", "category": "security", "sla_hours": 1 } Example 2: Input: "How do I change my notification settings?" Output: { "urgency": "low", "category": "how-to", "sla_hours": 48 } Now classify: Input: "{{ticket_text}}"
When to use: Math, logic, multi-step reasoning, analysis, decisions Basic CoT: Think through this step-by-step before giving your final answer. Structured CoT: Analyze this business decision using this process: 1. IDENTIFY: What are the key variables? 2. ANALYZE: What does the data tell us about each variable? 3. COMPARE: What are the tradeoffs between options? 4. DECIDE: Which option wins and why? 5. RISK: What could go wrong with this choice? Show your reasoning for each step, then give a final recommendation. Self-consistency CoT (for high-stakes decisions): Solve this problem three different ways. If all three approaches agree, that's your answer. If they disagree, analyze why and determine which approach is most reliable for this type of problem.
Break complex tasks into sequential prompts where each feeds the next: chain: content_creation steps: - name: research prompt: | Research {{topic}} and list 10 key facts, statistics, or insights. Cite sources where possible. output: research_notes - name: outline prompt: | Using these research notes, create a blog post outline with 5-7 sections. Each section needs a hook and key point. Research: {{research_notes}} output: outline - name: draft prompt: | Write a 1500-word blog post following this outline. Tone: conversational but authoritative. Outline: {{outline}} output: draft - name: edit prompt: | Edit this draft for: 1. AI-sounding phrases (remove them) 2. Passive voice (convert to active) 3. Weak verbs (strengthen them) 4. Missing transitions between sections 5. SEO: ensure {{keyword}} appears 3-5 times naturally Draft: {{draft}} output: final_post

# Market research research_topic: system: | Research {{topic}} systematically: 1. Define: What exactly are we investigating? (restate in one sentence) 2. Landscape: Who are the key players, what are the main approaches? 3. Data: What quantitative evidence exists? (cite sources) 4. Trends: What's changing? What direction is this heading? 5. Gaps: What's missing from current solutions/knowledge? 6. So What: Why should {{audience}} care? What's the actionable insight? Flag confidence level for each section (high/medium/low). If you're not sure about something, say so โ don't fill gaps with speculation. # Decision analysis analyze_decision: system: | Analyze this decision using: OPTIONS: List all viable options (including "do nothing") For each option: - PROS: Concrete benefits (quantify where possible) - CONS: Concrete risks (quantify where possible) - ASSUMPTIONS: What must be true for this to work? - REVERSIBILITY: Easy to undo? Hard to undo? Irreversible? RECOMMENDATION: Pick one. Explain why in 2 sentences. KILL CRITERIA: "Abandon this choice if [specific condition]"

Strengths: Long context, instruction following, structured output, safety Best practices: Use XML tags for context separation (<document>, <instructions>, <examples>) Put the most important instruction LAST (recency bias) Use "Think step by step" for reasoning tasks Prefill assistant response to control format: Assistant: { For complex tasks, use <thinking> tags to separate reasoning from output
Strengths: Creative writing, code generation, function calling Best practices: System message for persistent instructions JSON mode: include "json" in the prompt when using response_format Function/tool definitions for structured actions Temperature 0 for deterministic outputs, 0.7+ for creative
Strengths: Privacy, customization, cost at scale Best practices: Shorter, simpler prompts (smaller context windows) More explicit examples (weaker instruction following) Avoid complex multi-step instructions (chain instead) Test extensively โ behavior varies much more across versions
Don't assume features โ XML tags, JSON mode, function calling vary Test on target โ a prompt tuned for Claude may fail on GPT-4 and vice versa Use the simplest technique that works โ fewer model-specific features = more portable Version per model โ maintain model-specific variants when quality matters
You are evaluating AI-generated content. Score on a 1-5 scale. <criteria> {{evaluation_criteria}} </criteria> <content> {{content_to_evaluate}} </content> For each criterion: 1. Score (1-5) 2. Evidence (quote the specific part that justifies your score) 3. Fix (if score < 4, what specifically should change) Be critical. A score of 5 means genuinely excellent, not just "no obvious errors." Average scores should be around 3.0 โ if you're scoring everything 4+, you're being too lenient.
