PROMPT ADVISER / TECHNICAL NOTES

Get straight to
the techie stuff.

Install the skill. Understand the boundaries. Check the evidence.
One shared briefing workflow, with platform-specific packaging.

01 / INSTALL

Codex desktop & CLI

Use a skills-enabled Codex host. Download the ZIP and extract the skill so that SKILL.md sits directly inside the prompt-adviser folder, not a second nested folder.

Download Codex ZIP
  1. Create the current personal skills directory.
  2. Extract the ZIP’s skill contents into ~/.agents/skills/prompt-adviser/.
  3. Start a new Codex session and invoke $prompt-adviser with your starting brief.
mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills/prompt-adviser
# Extract the skill contents here:
# ~/.agents/skills/prompt-adviser/SKILL.md
$prompt-adviser
Current guidance vs repository README

Current official guidance uses ~/.agents/skills/prompt-adviser for personal skills. The repository README may describe the legacy ~/.codex/skills location, supported by some existing hosts. Do not install duplicate copies; follow your host’s current guidance.

The Codex ZIP does not automatically install into ordinary ChatGPT. Codex desktop and CLI are different surfaces.

02 / INSTALL

Claude Code & supported accounts

For Claude Code, extract the skill contents into your personal skills folder and check that SKILL.md is directly inside prompt-adviser.

Download Claude ZIP
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/prompt-adviser
# Extract the skill contents here:
# ~/.claude/skills/prompt-adviser/SKILL.md

Start a new Claude Code session, then invoke:

/prompt-adviser

Claude account uploads

Upload the packaged ZIP only where your Claude account exposes skill controls. Availability depends on your account, plan and enabled features; an ordinary chat attachment is not equivalent to installing a skill. Native Claude behaviour has not yet been validated for this project.

03 / INSTALL

Google Antigravity

Download the packaged edition and extract it into the project’s skills directory. Replace <project-root> with the actual project folder; do not paste the angle-bracket placeholder into a shell command.

Download Antigravity ZIP
<project-root>/.agents/skills/prompt-adviser/SKILL.md

Open the project in Antigravity and explicitly ask the assistant to use the Prompt Adviser skill. Check your current host guidance for skill discovery and reload behaviour.

Packaged, not natively validated.

Antigravity instructions have been simulated through Codex. Native Antigravity behaviour is untested. Gemini web and Google AI Studio are different surfaces; this package is not a guarantee of compatibility with them.

04 / UNDER THE HOOD

Shared source. Platform editions.

Shared source templatePlatform filesGenerated editions & ZIPs

The core workflow is maintained in a shared source template, with platform-specific files and packaging. When contributing, edit the source and rebuild the generated editions using the repository’s documented process rather than editing a generated ZIP.

The skill is a set of instructions interpreted by the host, not a separate AI service. Host capabilities, available models and permission systems still determine what can happen.

No automatic upgrades or telemetry. Download and replace your installed edition deliberately when you choose to update, checking the changelog first.

05 / REVIEW WORKFLOW

The first 80% checkpoint

Completeness describes coverage of goal, context, output, constraints and checks. It is not a quality rating or a guarantee of success. You may finalise at any score.

Questions and model guidance

Review rounds contain three useful numbered questions plus “Shall I ask more?” Answered context is carried forward into another completeness check. The adviser may recommend a suitable available model, but does not switch it. A model that fits the task saves tokens and speeds up your reply.

Sources, without exposing the draft

At the first 80% checkpoint, a separate generic-task prompt-directory lookup may identify at most one useful pattern. It must be attributed and checked for reuse rights. No suitable match is a valid result. If lookup is unavailable, an offline fallback must be labelled, not presented as a live source result.

Optional roles

Role choices include No role. A role is inserted only after selection; a recommendation is not consent. Roles provide framing, not credentials or additional model capability.

Optional Jev assessment

The adviser considers whether the task involves repeated structured decisions. Jev is optional and never called during ordinary prompt review. One creative brief generally does not need it.

06 / OPTIONAL, NOT AUTOMATIC

Jev & OpenRouter

Jev is intended for structured, repeated routing, classification and scoring. It is not the tool for generating prose, images or video.

The OpenRouter Decisions API requires an API key and incurs billed usage. Using it requires specific authorisation for the data being shared, the service and the intended action. The helper is never called automatically; ordinary review does not make a Jev request.

A separate, authorised choice.

Do not put private keys into prompts or source code. Review provider policies and current pricing before authorising usage. No pricing or savings guarantee is made.

07 / CONTROL & PRIVACY

Review is not execution.

A final prompt is copyable text. Producing it, choosing a role or accepting a suggestion does not authorise task execution. Execution starts only on a direct “Run this prompt”, subject to the host’s permission controls.

Source queries use generic task terms rather than private drafts. That does not replace your assistant host’s or provider’s policies: private context entered into those services remains subject to their data handling rules.

This informational website collects no visitor prompt content. The walkthrough is local and scripted: no AI calls, Jev calls, authentication or form submissions. If you opt in, Google Analytics counts page views and edition download clicks only; you can reject or withdraw at any time via Cookie settings. See Privacy & cookies.

08 / EVIDENCE, IN CONTEXT

Methods research.
Not a product benchmark.

Relevant details reduce ambiguity, and clarification can expose missing context. Longer prompts are not automatically better. These papers support techniques that informed the workflow, not measured gains for Prompt Adviser.

CLAM · 2023

Table 4: 34.25% default vs 54.75% CLAM raw QA accuracy on constructed Ambiguous TriviaQA using text-davinci-002 and simulated clarification. A 20.5 percentage-point difference in an older, narrow experiment, not this skill.

Read CLAM ↗

ProTeGi · EMNLP 2023

Reports up to 31% improvement in classification performance measured by F1 through automated feedback and repeated testing. Not a Prompt Adviser improvement percentage.

Read ProTeGi ↗

GEPA · 2025

Repeated, tested optimisation across six tasks with GPT-4.1 Mini in the current Table 2. This optimisation procedure is not implemented in the skill; its results do not establish this product’s performance.

Image prompting · IJCAI 2025

A study with 20 participants and 2,000 prompts, involving feedback after image generation. It is not a pre-generation adviser benchmark.

Study results depend on the model, task and method. They support these techniques, not measured performance claims for Prompt Adviser.
09 / WHAT HAS BEEN CHECKED

Validation & contribution

Codex exercises have tested parts of the workflow. Claude and Antigravity instructions have been simulated through Codex, not validated in their native hosts. There is no product-quality benchmark yet.

Help by reporting reproducible issues, checking native platform behaviour or contributing improvements. Use fictional or anonymised examples only; do not include private prompts, customer records or API keys.
