Expert help writing better prompts and instructions for Claude — the patterns, structure, and few-shot examples that make answers more reliable. Directly useful for sharpening the instructions in our skills, connectors, and Projects.

Cowork & Chat

How to use it

Tell it what you want Claude to do reliably and it designs the prompt — clear structure, examples, chain-of-thought where it helps, and ways to enforce a consistent output format. Works in Cowork/Chat — it’s writing and reasoning, no code execution needed.

How to invoke / keep it on

Ask Claude to improve a prompt or design instructions and it auto-loads. Keep it in a Project’s instructions when you’re actively tuning skills.
