“Generate a clean README for this repository.”
explanatory-output-style
Purpose: Clear, well‑structured explanations.
Prompt example:
“Explain this system design as if to a senior executive.”
learning-output-style
Purpose: Teaching‑first explanations and scaffolding.
Prompt example:
“Teach me this topic step by step like a short course.”
session-report
Purpose: Summarize conversations into structured reports.
Prompt example:
“Summarize today’s discussion into a decision document.”
Frontend & Design
frontend-design
Purpose: Frontend architecture, UI, and UX guidance.
Prompt example:
“Review this UI design for usability and accessibility concerns.”
Security & Safety
security-guidance
Purpose: Secure coding practices and risk awareness.

“Iteratively improve this implementation until it meets best practices.”
playground
Purpose: Safe experimentation environment.
Prompt example:
“Try out a speculative refactor without touching prod code.”
Specialized / Experimental
math-olympiad
Purpose: Deep mathematical reasoning and proofs.
Prompt example:
“Solve this problem step by step and justify each assumption.”
mcp-server-dev
Purpose: Build and extend Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
Prompt example:
“Help me design an MCP server for an internal data source.”
Quick Mental Shortcut
- Understand or review code → LSP plugins
- Review, refactor, or commit code → code-review, code-simplifier
- Docs and explanations → claude-md-management, explanatory-output-style
- Automation or iteration → hookify, ralph-loop
- Hard thinking (math, architecture, strategy) → math-olympiad, enterprise-style reasoning
