Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
PromptKit composition engine. Use this skill when the user wants to assemble a task-specific prompt, write a requirements doc, investigate a bug, review code, plan an implementation, author agent instructions, create a Copilot prompt file, build an agentic workflow, or perform any engineering task that PromptKit has a template for. Also use when the user mentions PromptKit, asks about available templates or personas, or wants to compose prompts from reusable components.Key capabilities
- →Write requirements documents using templates
- →Investigate bugs with structured prompts
- →Review code using predefined personas and protocols
- →Plan implementations with PromptKit templates
- →Author agent instructions and build agentic workflows
How it works
The skill reads and executes `bootstrap.md` to discover components, select templates, gather parameters, and assemble the prompt or orchestrate an interactive workflow.
Inputs & outputs
When to use promptkit
- →Building agent workflows
- →Writing complex requirements
- →Assembling prompts for code review
About this skill
You must read and execute bootstrap.md in the repository root. Treat it
as the entry point and single source of truth for PromptKit component
discovery, template selection, parameter gathering, and prompt assembly.
Inputs
- The user's task, question, or requested artifact.
- Any repository context needed to choose the right PromptKit template, persona, protocols, format, taxonomy, and parameters.
- Any constraints, goals, or non-goals the user has already provided.
Output
- A PromptKit-assembled prompt ready to use for the requested task, or
- The result of executing the selected interactive PromptKit workflow in
the current session, as directed by
bootstrap.md.
Workflow
- Read
bootstrap.mdbefore doing anything else. - Follow its instructions to inspect
manifest.yamland identify the appropriate PromptKit components. - Gather any required parameters or clarify missing inputs from the user.
- Assemble the prompt in the order defined by PromptKit.
- Return the assembled prompt or continue the interactive workflow exactly
as
bootstrap.mddirects.
When not to use it
- →When the task does not involve PromptKit templates or components
- →When `bootstrap.md` is not available or cannot be executed
- →When the user does not want to assemble a structured prompt
Limitations
- →Requires `bootstrap.md` as the entry point and single source of truth
- →Relies on `manifest.yaml` for component discovery
- →Output is either an assembled prompt or the result of an interactive workflow
How it compares
This skill automates the structured assembly of prompts and workflows using predefined templates and components, providing consistency and efficiency compared to manually crafting prompts.
