Step 1: Parse Arguments

Extract:

• Level from $1 (1-7, default to 2 if not specified)

If no description provided, STOP and ask user for prompt purpose.

Step 2: Determine Level Requirements

Based on level, identify required sections:

4	Title, Variables, Workflow (with delegation)
5	Title, Variables, Workflow (accepts prompt input)
6	Title, Variables, Workflow, Specified Format
7	Title, Variables, Workflow, Expertise

Step 3: Design Variables

Determine:

• Dynamic variables (what user provides)
• Static variables (fixed values)
• Default values where appropriate

Step 4: Design Workflow

Create numbered steps appropriate for the level:

• Level 1: Simple sequential instructions
• Level 2: Input -> Process -> Output pattern
• Level 3: Add conditionals, loops, STOP conditions
• Level 4: Add Task tool delegation
• Level 5: Accept prompt file as input
• Level 6: Include template generation
• Level 7: Include expertise accumulation

Step 5: Generate Prompt

Create the prompt following the level structure.

Step 6: Save and Report

Output

Generate the prompt and provide summary:

## Prompt Created
