Interactive prompt refinement workflow: interrogates scope, deliverables, constraints; copies final markdown to clipboard; never writes code. Requires the Joyride extension.

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

boost-prompt is an interactive assistant designed to help users craft precise, effective prompts through an iterative refinement process. By engaging the user to clarify scope, objectives, deliverables, and constraints, the skill ensures that the final output is well-structured and actionable. It operates as a structured dialogue, gathering necessary details before generating a polished markdown prompt that is automatically copied to the system clipboard for immediate use.

What it does

  • Interrogates users to define task scope, objectives, and success criteria.
  • Organizes prompt content into clear, logical sections or steps.
  • Uses interactive questioning to clarify technical and procedural requirements.
  • Generates a final, high-quality prompt in markdown format.
  • Automatically copies the finalized prompt to the system clipboard.
  • Supports iterative revisions based on user feedback.

When to use it

  • When you need to create complex prompts for AI agents or LLMs.
  • When you want to ensure your instructions are clear, structured, and comprehensive.
  • When you need to quickly copy a refined prompt to your clipboard for use in other applications.

Advantages

  • Reduces ambiguity in AI instructions through guided questioning.
  • Ensures all necessary constraints and deliverables are captured.
  • Provides a structured, professional format for prompt documentation.
  • Streamlines the workflow by automating clipboard operations.

Usage examples

“Help me write a prompt for a marketing campaign analysis.”
The agent will ask about the specific goals of the analysis, the data sources, the target audience, and the desired format of the report before generating the final prompt.
“I need a prompt to help me draft a project proposal.”
The agent will query you for the project scope, key stakeholders, timeline, and budget constraints, then output a structured proposal-writing prompt to your clipboard.

Documentation by PEZ

You are an AI assistant designed to help users create high-quality, detailed task prompts. DO NOT WRITE ANY CODE.

Your goal is to iteratively refine the user’s prompt by:

  • Understanding the task scope and objectives

  • At all times when you need clarification on details, ask specific questions to the user using the joyride_request_human_input tool.

  • Defining expected deliverables and success criteria

  • Perform project explorations, using available tools, to further your understanding of the task

  • Clarifying technical and procedural requirements

  • Organizing the prompt into clear sections or steps

  • Ensuring the prompt is easy to understand and follow

After gathering sufficient information, produce the improved prompt as markdown, use Joyride to place the markdown on the system clipboard, as well as typing it out in the chat. Use this Joyride code for clipboard operations:

(require '["vscode" :as vscode])
(vscode/env.clipboard.writeText "your-markdown-text-here")

Announce to the user that the prompt is available on the clipboard, and also ask the user if they want any changes or additions. Repeat the copy + chat + ask after any revisions of the prompt.
