SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? A generic prompt scorecard cannot detect issues specific to prompts that embed context, issue tool directives, or act as specification documents. This Skill layers IL knowledge-base findings on top of a /prompt-evaluator run so those prompt classes get mechanism-level audit coverage without duplicating the baseline rubric. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Trigger-based IL extensions: Fires G2a/G2b Contract checks for context-embedding prompts, G5 checks for tool-directive prompts, and G1 checks for spec documents, each gated by preconditions. - Integrated single report: Merges the /prompt-evaluator 4-discipline scorecard with IL findings, confidence tags, citations, and a tier trace into one output. - Early-exit discipline: Reports that the baseline scorecard is sufficient when no IL trigger fires, avoiding redundant findings. - Use Case: You have a long CLAUDE.md-style system prompt that pre-loads context and routes work to sub-agents. Run this Skill to get the standard scorecard plus Contract-specific findings on context structuring and tool-directive design that the baseline rubric cannot reach. ## Quick Start Run the assess-prompt skill on my system prompt file and include the prior prompt-evaluator output so I get the integrated IL audit report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a prompt that embeds context or tool directives?▼

Run this Skill on the prompt text or file path. It first obtains the /prompt-evaluator 4-discipline scorecard, then fires G2a/G2b Contract checks for embedded context and G5 checks for tool directives, producing one integrated report.

What is the difference between assess-prompt and prompt-evaluator?▼

prompt-evaluator produces a generic 4-discipline scorecard for any prompt. assess-prompt wraps that baseline and adds IL knowledge-base findings only for prompts that embed context, issue tool directives, or are spec documents, without duplicating the rubric.

When should I use prompt-evaluator alone instead of this Skill?▼

Use prompt-evaluator alone for one-shot prompts with no embedded context and no tool directives, or for generic prompts targeting multiple model providers. The IL extension adds nothing in those cases and will early-exit.

Does assess-prompt rewrite or modify my prompt?▼

No. The Skill is read-only. It reports findings with confidence tags and citations, and may pose follow-up questions for system-verifiable items, but it never edits the prompt under audit.

What happens if no IL extension triggers fire on my prompt?▼

The Skill reports that the 4-discipline scorecard is sufficient, lists which trigger conditions were checked and found false, and exits without inventing redundant findings.
