Write, evaluate, migrate, or troubleshoot prompts for GPT and Claude models.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Prompt engineering Create or revise prompts for the user's target model. Keep the common prompt portable and load only the relevant model guide. Each page connects an observed behavior to a prompt adjustment, prompt wording, and caveats. Use the matching patterns rather than pasting the whole guide into a prompt. The guides cover prompts, not API request settings; behavior does not transfer automatically between models. ## Workflow 1. Establish the outcome, audience, model, authorization, output, and representative failures. Ask only for missing information that materially changes the prompt. 2. Read the needed shared reference and the target model's page below. Resolve paths from this skill directory. 3. Remove obsolete or redundant guidance before adding text. Preserve binding requirements. 4. For complex prompts, use `Role · Goal · Success criteria · Constraints · Tools · Output · Stop rules`; omit sections that do not change behavior. 5. Change one prompt or configuration variable at a time and compare representative cases. Measure task success, output validity, tool behavior, latency, tokens, and cost where available. …

How to install
mdr add bastani-inc/atomic/prompt-engineer@sha256:0cea74dd76db0776The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.c93636e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
