Optimize prompts for Claude 4.x models using Anthropic's official best practices. Use when users want to improve, refine, or create effective prompts for Claude. Triggers include requests to optimize prompts, make prompts more effective, fix underperforming prompts, create system prompts, improve instruction following, reduce verbosity, control output formatting, or enhance agentic/tool-use behaviors. Also use when users report Claude is being too verbose, not following instructions, not using tools properly, or producing generic outputs.

Optimize prompts for Claude 4.x models (Sonnet 4.5, Haiku 4.5, Opus 4.5) using Anthropic's official guidance.
Claude 4.x models follow instructions precisely. Request behaviors explicitly rather than hoping Claude infers them.
Less effective: Create an analytics dashboard
More effective: Create an analytics dashboard. Include as many relevant features and interactions as possible. Go beyond the basics to create a fully-featured implementation.
Explain motivation behind instructions to help Claude generalize appropriately.
Less effective: NEVER use ellipses
More effective: Your response will be read aloud by a text-to-speech engine, so never use ellipses since the text-to-speech engine will not know how to pronounce them.
Claude pays close attention to examples. Ensure they demonstrate exactly what you want, without patterns you want to avoid.
Add: Keep responses concise and direct. Avoid unnecessary elaboration.
See references/formatting.md for detailed prompts to control output style.
Add: By default, implement changes rather than only suggesting them. Use tools to take action.
Add creativity guidance or use the frontend-aesthetics pattern from references/patterns.md.
Make instructions explicit, add context for why, frame positively (what TO do, not what NOT to do).
Load the appropriate reference file based on the optimization need.
npx claudepluginhub aznatkoiny/zai-skills --plugin AI-ToolkitGenerates new prompts or improves existing ones for Anthropic Claude models using techniques like XML tags, Chain of Thought, prefilling, role assignment, and few-shot examples.
Prompt design techniques for LLMs: structure, examples, reasoning patterns, and optimization. Invoke whenever task involves any interaction with AI instructions — crafting, debugging, improving, or evaluating prompts for skills, agents, output styles, or system configurations.
