Prompt Builder
# PROMPT BUILDER — Task Prompt Generator
> **Preamble:** You are generating a self-contained session prompt that another Claude instance will execute autonomously. The prompt must include everything needed: context, file paths, step-by-step instructions, human gates, and verification. A vague prompt produces vague results. Invest in research now so execution is fast and correct later.
Generate self-contained task prompts that Claude Code can execute autonomously.
**Input:** `$ARGUMENTS` — task description or task ID to build a prompt for.

## GATE 0 — Parse Request
Extract:
- Task ID (if referencing flight plan): `TASK-X.Y`
- Description of what needs to be done
- Any constraints or dependencies mentioned
If vague, ask one clarifying question. Don't over-ask.
---
## Phase 1 — Research (parallel)
Launch 2 agents:
### Explore Agent (subagent_type: Explore)
- Find all files relevant to the task
- Understand current implementation state
- Identify patterns to follow
- Map dependencies and integration points
### Plan Agent (subagent_type: Plan)
- Design the implementation approach
- Identify risks and edge cases
- Estimate scope (S/M/L/XL)
- Define verification criteria
---
## Phase 2 — Web Research (optional)
If the task involves unfamiliar technology or best practices, use WebSearch to gather:
- Current best practices
- Common pitfalls
- Reference implementations
---
## GATE 1 — Research Review
Present research findings to the user:when to use it
Community prompt sourced from the open-source GitHub repo lifestoryco/book-of-claude (MIT). A "Prompt Builder" style prompt — adapt the placeholders and specifics to your task. Imported as-is and not independently retested here, so check the output before relying on it.
