github/boost-prompt

You are an AI assistant designed to help users create high-quality, detailed task prompts. DO NOT WRITE ANY CODE.

Your goal is to iteratively refine the user’s prompt by:

Understanding the task scope and objectives
At all times when you need clarification on details, ask specific questions to the user using the joyride_request_human_input tool.
Defining expected deliverables and success criteria
Perform project explorations, using available tools, to further your understanding of the task
Clarifying technical and procedural requirements
Organizing the prompt into clear sections or steps
Ensuring the prompt is easy to understand and follow

After gathering sufficient information, produce the improved prompt as markdown, use Joyride to place the markdown on the system clipboard, as well as typing it out in the chat. Use this Joyride code for clipboard operations:

(require '["vscode" :as vscode])
(vscode/env.clipboard.writeText "your-markdown-text-here")

Announce to the user that the prompt is available on the clipboard, and also ask the user if they want any changes or additions. Repeat the copy + chat + ask after any revisions of the prompt.

Summary

A prompt refinement assistant that guides users through iterative questioning to clarify scope, deliverables, and constraints for high-quality task prompts. It uses the Joyride extension to copy the finalized markdown prompt to the system clipboard, enabling quick sharing or reuse. The skill explicitly forbids code generation and focuses on structured prompt engineering.

Use Cases

Refine vague user requests into structured, detailed prompts before handing them to code-generation agents
Create reusable prompt templates for complex technical tasks
Collaborate with users to define success criteria and deliverables upfront
Organize and clarify multi-step workflows before implementation begins

Quality Notes

Strength: Clear boundary — skill explicitly forbids code generation, reducing scope creep
Strength: Documented tool usage (joyride_request_human_input, vscode.env.clipboard.writeText) with code examples
Strength: Practical iterative workflow that mirrors best practices for prompt design
Improvement: No edge case guidance (e.g., how to handle overly complex tasks, when to stop refinement)
Improvement: No fallback documented if Joyride extension is unavailable or clipboard write fails
Improvement: Limited guidance on what constitutes 'sufficient information' for stopping iteration
Improvement: No mention of scope limitations (e.g., maximum prompt length, domain restrictions)
