Rewrite a vague request into a precise prompt — goal, context, scope, constraints, what done looks like, output format. Use when the user asks to improve, rewrite, sharpen or check a prompt.
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
# Sharpen a prompt A precise prompt saves the back-and-forth, and the tokens, that a vague one costs. Rewrite the user's prompt so another assistant could do the task right on the first try. ## Check what the prompt is missing 1. **Goal**: what should exist or be true at the end. 2. **Context**: who it's for, what it builds on, what was tried. 3. **Scope**: exactly which files, sections, data or part of the problem. Name them. 4. **Constraints**: must keep, must avoid, length, tone, tools, deadline. 5. **Done looks like**: how to tell it worked: tests pass, a sample output, a checklist. 6. **Output format**: a list, a table, a diff, a file, a one-paragraph answer. ## Then - If you can fill the gaps from the conversation, write the improved prompt in a code block in the user's language. Keep it as short as the task allows, and list in one line what you added and why. - If one gap is essential and unknowable, ask that one question instead of guessing. Never ask more than one. - Don't do the task itself unless the user asks you to.

How to install
mdr add egorfedorov/claude-context-optimizer/sharpen-prompt@sha256:43f6f1ede80ce697The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.44e77a4, 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.
