Comprehensive analysis report identifying safety risks, bias patterns, security vulnerabilities, and effectiveness gaps in AI prompts, with improved prompt version and testing recommendations.

About

This skill provides a comprehensive prompt engineering safety review framework for developers building AI agents and LLM applications. It conducts multi-dimensional analysis across safety (harmful content, violence, misinformation, illegal activities), bias detection (gender, racial, cultural, socioeconomic, ability), security (data exposure, prompt injection, information leakage), and effectiveness (clarity, context, constraints, format, specificity). Developers use it during build and review phases to validate prompt quality, identify vulnerabilities, and receive actionable improvement recommendations with testing methodologies and educational insights on pattern optimization, technical robustness, and performance tuning.

  • Structured 8-part analysis framework: safety, bias, security, effectiveness, best practices, pattern analysis, technical
  • Generates improved prompt versions with specific mitigations for identified safety and bias issues
  • Includes comprehensive test cases covering standard scenarios, edge cases, safety testing, and bias validation
  • Evaluates prompt patterns (zero-shot, few-shot, chain-of-thought, role-based, hybrid) and suggests optimizations
  • Provides educational insights explaining prompt engineering principles and common pitfalls with avoidance strategies

FAQ

What makes a prompt unsafe?

Prompts are unsafe when they can generate harmful content, promote violence or hate speech, spread misinformation, facilitate illegal activities, expose sensitive data, or are vulnerable to injection attacks.

How does this tool detect bias?

It systematically analyzes prompts across five bias dimensions: gender, racial, cultural, socioeconomic, and ability-based stereotypes, then recommends specific mitigation strategies.

What prompt patterns should I use?

Pattern choice depends on task complexity. Zero-shot for simple tasks, few-shot for demonstration-based learning, chain-of-thought for reasoning, role-based for persona consistency, hybrid for complex multi-step processes.
