When is the Prompt Refinement skill automatically invoked?

This skill is triggered at the start of major ai-eng commands, including /ai-eng/research, /ai-eng/specify, /ai-eng/plan, and /ai-eng/work.

How does the confidence assessment work?

It evaluates the refined prompt on a scale from 0.0 to 1.0. A score of 0.8-1.0 indicates all ambiguities are resolved, while lower scores highlight areas where assumptions were made.

Can I manually edit the refined prompt?

Yes. After the refinement process, you are presented with a confirmation step where you can choose to proceed, ask more questions, or manually edit the resulting prompt.

Productivity & Workflow

Transforms vague user inputs into structured, high-quality prompts using the TCRO framework to maximize AI performance and consistency.

The Prompt Refinement skill is a core utility designed to eliminate ambiguity in AI-assisted workflows by converting messy input into structured specifications. By applying the TCRO (Task, Context, Requirements, Output) framework, it ensures that every command—from research to implementation—starts with a clear, actionable directive. This skill reduces iteration cycles and improves output consistency by asking targeted, phase-specific clarifying questions and applying advanced incentive prompting techniques like expert persona assignment, stakes language, and step-by-step reasoning, while integrating project-specific context from CLAUDE.md.
