What Prompt Improve is

Prompt Improve is a slash command published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com.”

A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.

Prompt Improve gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.

How to install Prompt Improve

Claude Code

  1. Download prompt-improve.md from the repository.
  2. Save it to ~/.claude/commands/ (all projects) or .claude/commands/ (one project). As a skill, you can instead save it as ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
  3. Run it by typing / followed by its name.

Claude Cowork

  1. Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
  2. In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
  3. Run it from any task with / and the skill name.

Inside the source file

An excerpt from plugins/security/severity1-marketplace/commands/prompt-improve.md, shared under the repository's MIT license. Read the full file on GitHub.

Analyze the current plugin's prompts, skill definitions, or command instructions and suggest improvements for clarity, safety, effectiveness, and best-practice adherence.

Analysis Dimensions

  1. Clarity — Are instructions unambiguous and easy to follow?
  2. Safety — Does the prompt avoid encouraging dangerous operations?
  3. Effectiveness — Will the prompt reliably produce the intended result?
  4. Completeness — Are edge cases and error scenarios addressed?
  5. Conciseness — Is the prompt free of unnecessary verbosity?

Process

  1. Read the target file (SKILL.md, command .md, or agent .md)
  2. Score each dimension on a 1-5 scale
  3. Identify specific improvement opportunities
  4. Suggest concrete rewrites for weak sections
  5. Validate that improvements preserve original intent

Before you install

  • Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
  • Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
  • Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
  • Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
  • Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
