Claude Code Prompts

Claude Code Prompts — Independently Authored Prompt Collection

 Independently written prompt templates for building AI coding agents, inspired by patterns observed in Claude Code codebase. System prompts, tool prompts, agent prompts, memory management, and multi-agent coordination.

Check out RepoWise

Prompts tell your agent how to behave. RepoWise tells it what the codebase actually does.

Open-source codebase intelligence engine. Auto-generated architecture wikis, dependency graphs, ownership maps, dead code detection, and 9 MCP tools your AI editor can query in real time.

Claude Code System Prompts

We studied how Claude Code behaves in practice -- how it structures safety rules, routes tools, delegates to subagents, manages memory -- and wrote our own prompt collection from scratch implementing the same patterns.

Every prompt in this repo is independently authored. We observed what patterns make a coding agent reliable and wrote our own versions. From the team behind RepoWise.

What's Inside

Quick Start

1. Browse the pattern files to understand how production coding agents structure their prompts.
2. Copy any complete prompt into your own agent configuration.
3. Replace {{PLACEHOLDER}} values with your stack, tool names, and risk policy.
4. For Cursor IDE users, drop skills/ into ~/.cursor/skills-cursor/ for instant integration.
5. Add codebase context with RepoWise so your agent actually understands the project it's working in.
