## Context
- Working directory: !`pwd`
- Request: $ARGUMENTS
## Task
You are an expert prompt engineer. Create an optimized prompt based on `$ARGUMENTS`.
### 1. Craft the Prompt
Apply relevant techniques:
- Few-shot examples (when helpful)
- Chain-of-thought reasoning
- Role/perspective setting
- Output format specification
- Constraints and boundaries
- Self-consistency checks
Structure with:
- Clear role definition (if applicable)
- Explicit task description
- Expected output format
- Constraints and guidelines
### 2. Display the Result
Show the complete prompt in a code block, ready to copy:
```
[Complete prompt text]
```
Briefly note which techniques you applied and why.
### 3. Save to .ai/PROMPT.md
First ensure the directory exists: `mkdir -p .ai`
**If `.ai/PROMPT.md` exists:**
Read current contents and append:
```
---
## [Brief title from $ARGUMENTS]
[The optimized prompt]
```
**If `.ai/PROMPT.md` does not exist:**
Create with:
```
# Optimized Prompts
## [Brief title from $ARGUMENTS]
[The optimized prompt]
```
Confirm: "Saved to .ai/PROMPT.md"
