Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned 89jobrien/steve at c0ff044bf0.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill refines and improves prompts to enhance AI agent output. It analyzes existing prompts, suggests modifications for clarity and effectiveness, and helps users iterate towards optimal results. The goal is to increase the quality, relevance, and accuracy of responses from large language models.

When to use it

  • You're getting inconsistent or unsatisfactory results from an AI agent.
  • You want to improve the creativity or detail in generated content (e.g., writing, code).
  • You need to ensure a prompt is clear and unambiguous for complex tasks.
  • You are trying to reduce hallucinations or errors in responses.

Key capabilities

  • Prompt analysis
  • Suggestion of modifications
  • Iteration support
  • Clarity enhancement

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this prompt: 'Write a short story about a cat.'"
  • "Suggest improvements for the following prompt to get more detailed results: 'Summarize this article.'"
  • "I want to generate code. How can I improve this prompt: 'Write a function that sorts a list?'"

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends on the quality and specificity of your initial prompts. Providing context or examples alongside the prompt you wish to optimize will yield better results.
