Improve a rough or thin prompt into a detailed, actionable one using project context. Use when the user types '/improve-prompt <rough idea>' or '/?? <rough idea>'. Takes a vague request and returns a well-structured prompt with specific file paths, project patterns, acceptance criteria, and relevant context. Do NOT use for executing tasks — this only improves the prompt text.

# Improve Prompt
**Raw prompt from user: `$ARGUMENTS`**
You are a prompt improvement assistant. The user has given you a rough, thin, or vague prompt above. Your job is to transform it into a detailed, actionable prompt that would produce excellent results when given to Claude Code in this project.
## Important
- Do NOT execute the task described in the prompt
- Do NOT write code or make changes
- ONLY output an improved version of the prompt
## How to Improve the Prompt
Analyze the raw prompt and enhance it by adding:
1. **Specific file paths** — Identify which files in the codebase are relevant to the request. Use your knowledge of the project structure to reference exact paths (e.g., `app/home/[account]/feature/_lib/server/...`).
2. **Project patterns** — Reference the correct patterns from the codebase rules:
- Service pattern (private class + factory function) for data access
- Server Actions with Zod validation and auth checks
- Server Components with loaders for data fetching
- `react-hook-form` + Zod + your component library for forms
- `import 'server-only'` on all server files
- RLS policies for new tables
3. **Acceptance criteria** — Define what "done" looks like with specific, testable conditions.
4. **Constraints and context** — Add relevant constraints the user likely forgot:
- Which part of the app this affects
- Multi-tenant considerations (account_id scoping)
- Existing related code to build on or integrate with
- Testing requirements (unit tests, E2E)
5. **Scope boundaries** — Clarify what's in and out of scope to prevent over-engineering.
6. **Suggested skills and agents** — Recommend which `/skills` and agents to use for the task. Common ones:
- `/create-plan` — for multi-phase features that need planning
- `/postgres-expert` — for database schemas, migrations, RLS policies
- `/service-builder` — for data access / business logic services
- `/server-action-builder` — for server actions with Zod + auth
- `/react-form-builder` — for forms with react-hook-form + your component library
- `/code-review` — for post-implementation review
- `/playwright-e2e` — for E2E test writing
- `tdd-guide` agent — for unit tests (Vitest)
- `security-reviewer` agent — for auth, RLS, secrets auditing
## Output Format
Return the improved prompt in a fenced code block so the user can easily copy it:
~~~
```
<improved prompt here>
```
~~~
After the code block, add a brief "Changes made" summary listing what you added and why (2-4 bullet points).
## Example
**Raw prompt:** "add a notes feature"
**Improved prompt:**
```
Add a Notes feature at app/home/[account]/notes/.
Database:
- Create a `notes` table with: id (uuid PK), account_id (FK to accounts), title (text), content (text), created_by (uuid FK to auth.users), timestamps
- Add RLS policies using your RLS helper function for team access
- Create migration via `npx supabase db diff --schema public -f add_notes_table`
Service layer:
- Create app/home/[account]/notes/_lib/server/notes-service.ts
- Use the service pattern (private class + factory function)
- Methods: createNote, getNotesByAccount, updateNote, deleteNote
- Add `import 'server-only'`
Server actions:
- Create app/home/[account]/notes/_lib/server/server-actions.ts
- Use Server Actions with Zod validation + auth checks for create, update, delete
- Schemas in _lib/schema/notes.schema.ts
UI:
- Server component page.tsx with loader for initial data
- Client component for the notes list and create/edit form
- Use your component library (e.g., shadcn/ui) for Card, Button, Dialog
- Use react-hook-form + Zod for form validation
Testing:
- Unit tests for service and actions in __tests__/notes/
- Use Vitest with happy-dom, thenable mock pattern for Supabase
Acceptance criteria:
- [ ] Notes CRUD works for team members
- [ ] RLS prevents cross-account access
- [ ] npm run verify passes (typecheck + lint + test)
Suggested workflow:
1. /create-plan — to generate phases for this feature
2. /postgres-expert — for the notes table schema, RLS policies, migration
3. /service-builder — for the notes service layer
4. /server-action-builder — for CRUD server actions
5. /react-form-builder — for the create/edit note form
6. /code-review — after implementation to verify compliance
```
**Changes made:**
- Added specific file paths following the route structure pattern
- Referenced project patterns (service, Server Actions with Zod + auth, loaders, RLS)
- Added acceptance criteria with testable conditions
- Included multi-tenant considerations (account_id scoping)
- Added suggested skills workflow for implementation order
