* feat: clean-room synthesis — prompt-engineering skillCraig Jennings44 hours1-0/+228
Distilled from NeoLab customaize-agent:prompt-engineering rubric (GPL-3.0 source; clean-room, no prose reused). ~17 KB NeoLab version trimmed to tighter ~430 lines focused on what's genuinely non-obvious: - Four prompt-type classification (discipline-enforcing / guidance / collaborative / reference), with explanations for each so the user knows what they're picking. Used in both design and critique modes. - Seven persuasion principles (Meincke et al. 2025, Nā‰ˆ28,000), with by-type matrix. Notably flags Liking as actively harmful for collaborative prompts (breeds sycophancy in reviews/critiques). - Degrees-of-freedom axis (high/medium/low) matched to task fragility. - Context-window-as-shared-resource framing. - Brief reference only for classical techniques (few-shot, CoT, system prompts, templates) — widely documented elsewhere, not re-taught. - Explicit ethics test for persuasion use. - Design-mode vs critique-mode workflows. - Anti-patterns list covering sycophancy-by-default, hedging-on- discipline-prompts, authority-stack-on-guidance, high-freedom-on- fragile-tasks. Landscape: no prompt-engineering skill exists in Anthropic's official repo, wshobson/agents, or the major community skill collections. Real gap. Makefile SKILLS extended; global symlink installed.
