promptheus

AI-powered prompt refinement and improvement using the Promptheus MCP server. Use this skill whenever the user asks to refine, improve, rewrite, or optimize a prompt. Trigger phrases include "refine this prompt", "improve this prompt", "make this prompt better", "optimize this prompt", "rewrite this prompt", or any request that involves taking an existing prompt/instruction and making it more effective. Also triggers when the user provides rough ideas, requirements, or specifications and asks for a well-crafted prompt to be generated from them.

Promptheus Prompt Refinement

Route all prompt refinement requests through the Promptheus MCP tools. Never attempt to refine prompts using your own capabilities -- always delegate to Promptheus.

Workflow

Refine a prompt

Call mcp__promptheus__refine_prompt with the user's prompt text.
If the response type is clarification_needed:
- Use AskUserQuestion with the questions from questions_for_ask_user_question.
- Map user answers to question IDs (q0, q1, q2, ...).
- Call mcp__promptheus__refine_prompt again with the original prompt and the answers dict.
If the response type is refined:
- Present the refined prompt to the user.
- If the user originally asked to "execute" or "run" the prompt, use the refined prompt to generate the requested content.

Tweak an existing prompt

When the user wants a targeted adjustment to an already-refined prompt (e.g., "make it shorter", "more technical", "add constraints"):

Call mcp__promptheus__tweak_prompt with the current prompt and the requested modification.
Present the tweaked result to the user.

Rules

Never refine or rewrite prompts yourself. Always use Promptheus tools.
If Promptheus returns an error, report it to the user and offer to retry or troubleshoot with mcp__promptheus__validate_environment.
