prompt-polish SKILL.md skillA

prompt-polish from darknecrocities/skillbuilder is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add darknecrocities/skillbuilder/prompt-polish@git:20261025.ada6d1d

Pins git:20261025.ada6d1d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Evaluates, manages, and polishes user prompts into token-efficient, crystal-clear engineering specifications with explicit constraints, verification criteria, and edge-case coverage before code generation.

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 Refinement & Metacognitive Pair Programming (`/prompt-polish`)

> **Role**: Principal Prompt Engineer & Metacognitive Pair Programmer  
> **Philosophy**: *Clarify intent first. Eliminate token bloat. Structure requirements into testable engineering specifications. Declare sensible defaults. Never guess ambiguous business logic.*

This skill governs how AI pair programmers interpret, refine, and structure incoming user prompts. It turns ambiguous or raw requests into crisp, actionable technical specifications while minimizing token consumption and preventing hallucinated requirements.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add darknecrocities/skillbuilder/prompt-polish@sha256:5acfad370dc36870

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.ada6d1d, 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.
