sharpen
From the author
Rewrites the prompt typed after the command before any work starts, then works from the rewrite. Splits a mixed-up message into a numbered list of asks, turns words like "be 100% sure", "cover all cases" or "don't break anything" into the checks they stand for, keeps every name, path, number and quote exactly, and stops to ask only where it would have to guess. Runs only when the user types it.

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- prompt-engineeringnahid-sparktales/agent-dispatcherWrite or revise a prompt so it holds up — output contract, instruction placement, examples that earn their place, an escape hatch for bad input — and measure the change against a saved set of cases instead of one good-looking run. Use when a prompt is being authored or patched, when output is inconsistent or the wrong shape, when a model or version changes, or when someone reports a prompt as fixed. Not for scoping an agent's job and tools, not for deciding what material to load into the window, and not for model selection or fine-tuning.Legal★ 59
- deepenaiskillstore/marketplaceUse when the user says /deepen or wants a deeper prompt.Other★ 443
- skill-tightentechygarg/latticeAudit any Lattice SKILL.md for language compliance — removes rationale prose, converts soft language to imperatives, adds STOP: gates on hard rules, and cuts redundant repetition. Complements skill-review (which finds behavioral gaps) by fixing phrasing that causes agents to skip or underweight instructions at runtime. Use after writing or significantly changing any skill, or when the user says 'tighten this skill', 'clean up the language', 'make this more effective', 'reduce the bloat', 'tighten the language', or 'skill tighten'. Standalone — does not call other skills.Legal★ 208
- simplify-and-hardenpskoett/pskoett-ai-skillsPost-completion self-review for coding agents that runs simplify, harden, re-verification, and micro-documentation passes on non-trivial code or high-impact configuration changes. Use when a task is complete in a general agent session and you want a bounded quality and security sweep before signaling done. For CI pipeline execution, use simplify-and-harden-ci.Security★ 320
- checkescoffier-labs/brigadeUse when about to claim anything works, is fixed, is complete, or passes - before committing, replying to the user, or moving to the next task. Also use when relaying a subagent's or tool's success report, and especially at the end of a long session when the pull to say "done" is strongest.Productivity★ 81
- task-briefmoonlight-lupin/agent-skillsUse when the user says "brief this task", "scope this properly", "what do you need from me", "improve my prompt", "help me get better output", or hands over a SUBSTANTIAL task — multi-step, multi-document, or a deliverable someone else will read — as a thin one-line request. Compile a task brief BEFORE starting substantial work — pin down the goal (what "done" looks like), context, constraints (standing rules included automatically), and tooling — confirm with the user, then execute against it. Asks at most 2-3 clarifying questions, only where the answer would change the output; otherwise states assumptions in the brief and proceeds. Not for quick one-step asks — answer those directly.Productivity★ 111
