Prompt Selector

Agent

Reads a request, picks the prompt-engineering technique that gives the best accuracy for the lowest cost, and rewrites the prompt for you — without adding facts you did not give.

Best for

  • Getting more reliable answers from the same model
  • Rewriting long or messy requests into a clean structure
  • Choosing between zero-shot, few-shot, step-by-step and other techniques

What you give it

  • The request or task you plan to send to your AI model
  • Anything the answer must follow: format, length, audience
  • Optionally: an example of a good answer

What you get back

  • The technique chosen and a one-line reason
  • A rough cost estimate: is the rebuilt prompt cheaper, the same or dearer?
  • The rebuilt prompt, ready to use, with gaps marked [ask]

How it works

  1. Classifies the request: type, clarity, size, depth of reasoning, whether tools or files are needed.
  2. Uses the Prompt Frameworks skill (30 techniques with selection rules).
  3. Chooses the cheapest technique that is accurate enough; combines at most two.
  4. Rebuilds the prompt in that structure and marks gaps instead of inventing facts.
  5. A clear, common request gets no rewrite at all.

Example

You: Write release notes for the new login flow.

Result: Technique: CO-STAR (writing where tone and audience matter). Rebuilt: Context — v2.3 adds passkey login. Objective — announce it. Style — plain, short. Tone — friendly. Audience — existing customers. Response — 5 bullet points. Gaps: [ask] which browsers support passkeys?

Limits — please read

  • The guidance is a rule of thumb, not a measurement: when two techniques are close, it says so.
  • It does not do the task itself.
  • It needs the Prompt Frameworks skill installed alongside it.
