Commands

Get Next Number

PROMPT_MANAGER=$(jq -r '.plugins."daplug@cruzanstx"[0].installPath' ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json)/skills/prompt-manager/scripts/manager.py
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" next-number

Output: 006 (next available 3-digit number)

List Prompts

# List all prompts
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" list

# List as JSON
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" list --json

# Active only
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" list --active

# Completed only
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" list --completed

Find Prompt by Number

# Returns path to prompt file
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" find 6
# Output: /path/to/repo/prompts/006-my-prompt.md

# As JSON
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" find 6 --json

Read Prompt Content

python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" read 6
# Outputs the full content of the prompt

Create Prompt

# From content argument
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" create "backup-server" --content "Prompt content here"

# From file
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" create "backup-server" --content-file /tmp/prompt.md

# From stdin
cat prompt.md | python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" create "backup-server"

# With specific number
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" create "backup-server" --number 010 --content "..."

# JSON output
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" create "backup-server" --content "..." --json

Complete Prompt (Move to completed/)

python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" complete 6
# Output: Completed: /path/to/repo/prompts/completed/006-my-prompt.md

Delete Prompt

python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" delete 6
# Output: Deleted: 006-my-prompt.md

Get Directory Info

python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" info

# Output:
# Repository root: /path/to/repo
# Prompts directory: /path/to/repo/prompts
# Completed directory: /path/to/repo/prompts/completed
# Next number: 006
# Active prompts: 2
# Completed prompts: 5
# Total prompts: 7

# As JSON
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" info --json

Integration Examples

From /create-prompt

# Get plugin path
PLUGIN_ROOT=$(jq -r '.plugins."daplug@cruzanstx"[0].installPath' ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json)
PROMPT_MANAGER="$PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/prompt-manager/scripts/manager.py"

# Get next number
NEXT_NUM=$(python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" next-number)
echo "Next prompt will be: $NEXT_NUM"

# Create the prompt
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" create "my-task-name" --content "$PROMPT_CONTENT" --json

From /run-prompt

# Find prompt path
PROMPT_PATH=$(python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" find 6)
if [ -z "$PROMPT_PATH" ]; then
    echo "Prompt 6 not found"
    exit 1
fi

# Read content
CONTENT=$(python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" read 6)

Error Handling

All errors are written to stderr with exit code 1:

$ python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" find 999
Error: Prompt 999 not found

$ python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" complete 6  # already completed
Error: Prompt 006 is already completed

$ python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" create "test" --number 5  # exists
Error: Prompt 005 already exists: /path/to/prompts/005-test.md
