Skill: Meta Prompt

Create new prompts based on existing templates and patterns. This is a meta-skill - a tool that generates tools.

When to Use

Creating new slash command
Creating new skill variation
Creating expert workflow variation
Adapting existing prompt for new domain

Workflow

1. Identify Template

Find closest existing prompt:

bash

# Search for similar prompts
Glob: .claude/commands/*.md
Glob: .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md
Glob: .claude/experts/*/question.md
Glob: .claude/experts/*/self-improve.md

# Read template
Read: [closest-match]

2. Define Variations

Ask user:

What should be different?
What domain/technology?
What tools needed?
What workflow changes?

3. Generate New Prompt

Copy structure, modify:

YAML Frontmatter:

yaml

---
name: "{New Name}"
description: "{What it does}"
tools: [adjust tool list]
model: inherit
argument-hint: [if command]
---

Content:

Keep workflow structure
Replace domain-specific terms
Adjust file patterns (Glob/Grep)
Customize validation steps
Update examples

4. Validate

Check:

YAML syntax valid
Tool references correct
File paths appropriate
Examples make sense

5. Save & Test

bash

# Save to appropriate location
Write: .claude/commands/{name}.md  # for commands
Write: .claude/skills/{name}/SKILL.md  # for skills
Write: .claude/experts/{name}/{type}.md  # for expert workflows

# Test execution
# Run new prompt with test input

Example: Create "question-with-diagram"

markdown
