prompt-engineering
Prompt design, optimization, few-shot learning, and chain of thought techniques for LLM applications.
verification-gate
Enforce mandatory pre-action verification checkpoints to prevent pattern-matching from overriding explicit reasoning. Use this skill when about to execute implementation actions (Bash, Write, Edit, MultiEdit) to verify hypothesis-action alignment. Blocks execution when hypothesis unverified or action targets different system than hypothesis identified. Critical for preventing cognitive dissonance where correct diagnosis leads to wrong implementation.
meta-prompt-engineering
Use when prompts produce inconsistent or unreliable outputs, need explicit structure and constraints, require safety guardrails or quality checks, involve multi-step reasoning that needs decomposition, need domain expertise encoding, or when user mentions improving prompts, prompt templates, structured prompts, prompt optimization, reliable AI outputs, or prompt patterns.
