promptify is a prompt-engineering skill that transforms vague developer instructions into detailed, precise prompts optimized for Claude, Cursor, and Codex to execute without ambiguity.
About
promptify is a prompt-engineering skill in intellectronica/agent-skills that rewrites vague user requests into clear, specific, and complete prompts treated as specification language rather than casual natural language. The process reads full request context, removes ambiguity, and outputs prompts optimized for AI model consumption so Claude, Cursor, or Codex produce the intended result on the first pass. Developers reach for promptify when a task description is underspecified, when model outputs miss requirements, or when users explicitly say promptify or request prompt improvement. The skill triggers on promptify, promptify this, or explicit prompt-engineering requests.
- Converts casual user requests into specification-grade prompts
- Applies structured 3-step process: read, plan, rewrite
- Enforces consistent output format with headings, bold, bullets and numbered lists
- Eliminates ambiguity before any creative or implementation work begins
- Works across any agent workflow when user says "promptify" or requests prompt improvement

How do you turn vague instructions into precise AI prompts?
Instantly turn vague instructions into high-precision prompts that Claude, Cursor, or Codex can execute accurately.
Who is it for?
Developers whose agent tasks are underspecified and need prompt rewriting before Claude, Cursor, or Codex runs the work.
Skip if: Tasks already written as complete specifications or workflows that need code execution rather than prompt refinement.
When should I use this skill?
A user says promptify, promptify this, or explicitly requests prompt engineering or improvement of their AI request.
What you get
A detailed unambiguous prompt ready for Claude, Cursor, or Codex to execute accurately.
- refined AI prompt
- specification-grade task description

Promptify
Transform user requests into detailed, precise prompts optimised for AI model consumption.
Core Task
Rewrite the user's request as a clear, specific, and complete prompt that guides an AI model to produce the desired output without ambiguity. Treat the output as specification language, not casual natural language.
Process
1. Read and understand - Read the user's request carefully to understand the full context, intent, and all details 2. Plan the rewrite - Consider what specific information, instructions, or context the AI model needs to fulfill the request effectively 3. Rewrite as a detailed prompt - Transform the request into a precise prompt with clarity, specificity, and completeness
Writing Guidelines
Structure
- Begin with a single short paragraph summarising the overall task
- Use headings (##, ###, ####) for sections only where appropriate (no first-level title)
- Use bold, _italics_, bullet points (
-), and numbered lists (1., 2.) liberally for organisation - Never use emojis
- Never use
*for bullet points, always use-
Language
- Use plain, straightforward, precise language
- Avoid embellishments, niceties, or creative flourishes
- Think of language as specification/code, not natural language
- Be clear and specific in all instructions
Content
- Keep the prompt concise: 0.75X to 1.5X the length of the original request
- Do not add or invent information not present in the input
- Do not include unnecessary complexity or verbosity
Output
Provide only the final prompt as markdown, without additional commentary or explanation.

What does promptify do with a developer request?
promptify reads the full user request, removes ambiguity, and rewrites it as a clear specific prompt optimized for AI models. The output is specification language designed for accurate Claude, Cursor, or Codex execution.
When should developers invoke promptify?
promptify triggers when users say promptify, promptify this, or ask for prompt engineering help. Use it before running an agent task whose instructions are vague or producing inconsistent model outputs.
