01
Install it

02
Ask naturally
Describe the task. Your agent loads better-prompt when the request matches its description.
03
Name it if needed
If it does not trigger, say “use the better-prompt skill”. In Codex, type $better-prompt.
I want a deeper version of this task, not a bigger one. Before rewriting it: (1) say what a top professional in this field would do here that I'm not asking for; (2) name the rawest material they would start from instead of what has already been digested for me; (3) name the specific methods and tools they would use; (4) say what, other than you or me, would show the result is right. Then rewrite my prompt to ask for exactly that.

- • It is part of a pack with 30 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
