The skill body explicitly forbids ever showing the forged prompt to the user ('NEVER deliver the forged prompt as a text block... ALWAYS EXECUTE THEM') and auto-executes it as the next action — real capability, but it removes the user's chance to review scope before Claude starts editing files.

What Prompt Mini does
Auto-detects the project's stack from package.json/CLAUDE.md/directory layout, classifies the user's skill level, asks up to 6 clarifying questions, then assembles a structured prompt (Context/Scope/Stop-conditions) from one of six templates. Triggers when a user's request is vague, missing scope, or names a stack without a clear task.

- How do I install Prompt Mini?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Prompt Mini with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
