What this skill does


# Prompt File Finder

Locate and resolve prompt files using the prompt-manager skill.

## Setup

All operations use prompt-manager for consistent git root detection:

```bash
PLUGIN_ROOT=$(jq -r '.plugins."daplug@cruzanstx"[0].installPath' ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json)
PROMPT_MANAGER="$PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/prompt-manager/scripts/manager.py"
```

## When to Use This Skill

- User asks "find prompt 42" or "which prompt is about auth?"
- User wants to "list available prompts" or "show prompts"
- User asks "what's the latest prompt?" or "most recent prompt"
- Before executing a prompt, to resolve the exact file path
- User wants to search prompts by keyword

## Core Operations

### List All Prompts

```bash
# List all prompts (active and completed)
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" list

# Output:
# [ ] 006 - backup-server
# [ ] 007 - deploy-k8s
# [✓] 001 - initial-setup
# [✓] 002 - add-authentication

# As JSON
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" list --json

# Active only
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" list --active

# Completed only
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" list --completed
```

### Find Prompt by Number

```bash
# Returns path to prompt file
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" find 42
# Output: /path/to/repo/prompts/042-my-prompt.md

# As JSON with full info
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" find 42 --json
# {
#   "number": "042",
#   "name": "my-prompt",
#   "filename": "042-my-prompt.md",
#   "path": "/path/to/repo/prompts/042-my-prompt.md",
#   "status": "active"
# }
```

### Read Prompt Content

```bash
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" read 42
# Outputs the full content of the prompt
```

### Show Prompt Preview

```bash
# Read first 30 lines
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" read 42 | head -30
```

### Get Prompts Directory Info

```bash
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" info
# Repository root: /path/to/repo
# Prompts directory: /path/to/repo/prompts
# Completed directory: /path/to/repo/prompts/completed
# Next number: 008
# Active prompts: 2
# Completed prompts: 5
# Total prompts: 7

# As JSON
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" info --json
```

### Find Prompt by Name/Keyword

```bash
# List all and grep for keyword
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" list | grep -i "auth"

# Or use JSON and jq
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" list --json | jq '.[] | select(.name | contains("auth"))'
```

### Search Prompt Contents

For content search, use Grep tool on the prompts directory:

```bash
# Get prompts directory
PROMPTS_DIR=$(python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" info --json | jq -r '.prompts_dir')

# Search contents
grep -l -i "database" "$PROMPTS_DIR"/*.md 2>/dev/null
```

Or use the Grep tool:
```
Grep pattern="database" path="{prompts_dir}" glob="*.md"
```

### Archive/Complete a Prompt

```bash
python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" complete 42
# Output: Completed: /path/to/repo/prompts/completed/042-my-prompt.md
```

## Resolution Examples

```bash
# Find prompt 6 (auto-pads to 006)
PROMPT_PATH=$(python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" find 6)
if [ -n "$PROMPT_PATH" ]; then
    echo "Found: $PROMPT_PATH"
    # Read content
    CONTENT=$(python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" read 6)
fi

# Check if prompt exists
if python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" find 99 >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    echo "Prompt 99 exists"
else
    echo "Prompt 99 not found"
fi
```

## Error Handling

prompt-manager returns exit code 1 and writes errors to stderr:

```bash
$ python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" find 999
Error: Prompt 999 not found

$ python3 "$PROMPT_MANAGER" complete 6  # already completed
Error: Prompt 006 is already completed
```

## Expected Directory Structure

```
{git_root}/prompts/
├── 006-backup-server.md
├── 007-deploy-k8s.md
├── ...
└── completed/
    ├── 001-initial-setup.md
    ├── 002-add-authentication.md
    └── ...
```

## Naming Convention

Prompts follow the pattern: `NNN-descriptive-name.md`
- `NNN` = Zero-padded number (001, 042, 123)
- `descriptive-name` = Kebab-case description (max 5 words)
- `.md` = Markdown extension

## Legacy Compatibility

If prompt-manager is not available, fall back to direct file operations:

```bash
# Check if prompt-manager exists
if [ ! -f "$PROMPT_MANAGER" ]; then
    # Fallback: direct file listing
    ls -1 ./prompts/*.md 2>/dev/null
fi
```

skill-development

Included

Comprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.

reprompter

Included

Transform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.

adaptive-compaction

Included

Adaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.

agent-skill-creator

Included

Create cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.

llm-wiki

Included

Use when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
