/plugin install ai-ml-engineering-pack@claude-code-plugins-plusRun these inside Claude Code. The skill comes with its plugin.
What this skill does
This skill optimizes prompts for Large Language Models (LLMs) to reduce token usage, lower costs, and improve performance. It analyzes the prompt, identifies areas for simplification and redundancy removal, and rewrites the prompt to be more concise and effective. It is used when the user wants to reduce LLM costs, improve response speed, or enhance the quality of LLM outputs by optimizing the prompt. Trigger terms include "optimize prompt", "reduce LLM cost", "improve prompt performance", "rewrite prompt", "prompt optimization".
Trigger phrases
Claude loads this skill automatically when you say things like:
How it works
- Rewriting Prompt: It rewrites the prompt using techniques like concise language, targeted instructions, and efficient phrasing.
- Suggesting Alternatives: The skill provides the optimized prompt along with an explanation of the changes made and their expected impact.
When to use it
- Reduce the cost of using an LLM.
- Improve the speed of LLM responses.
- Enhance the quality or clarity of LLM outputs by refining the prompt.
Best practices
- Context: Provide sufficient context to the skill so it can understand the prompt's purpose.
- Iteration: Iterate on the optimized prompt based on the LLM's output to fine-tune performance.
