PrompyAI FAQs

Question 1

What is PrompyAI and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

PrompyAI is a developer tool for Claude CLI that automatically evaluates your prompts against your actual project's codebase, file structure, and session history. It provides a score, tailored suggestions, and rewrites your prompt with AI-generated, context-aware details for improved accuracy and effectiveness.

Question 2

What kind of context does PrompyAI use to enhance prompts?

Accepted Answer

PrompyAI creates a rich context by indexing your file tree, tech stack, git state, and code symbols. It also reads your Claude Code conversation history for multi-turn understanding and verifies referenced function/class names against your actual code.

Question 3

Do I need an Anthropic API key to use PrompyAI's AI enhancement features?

Accepted Answer

No, an API key is optional. If you provide an `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, PrompyAI uses Claude Haiku for fast, dedicated AI rewrites. Without an API key, PrompyAI returns codebase context to Claude, allowing Claude itself to generate the enhanced prompt using your existing session.

Question 4

How does PrompyAI score my prompts?

Accepted Answer

PrompyAI scores your prompts from 0-100 across four dimensions: Specificity, Context Completeness, Task Clarity, and File & Folder Anchoring. Each dimension measures key aspects like concrete actions, file references, clear objectives, and verified entity mentions.

Question 5

Is PrompyAI easy to set up and use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PrompyAI is designed for quick setup. With Node.js 20+ and Claude CLI, you can get started by running `claude mcp add prompyai -- npx prompyai-mcp serve`. There's no sign-up or complex config files required, and it works immediately.
