prompt-engineering

Creates system prompts, writes tool descriptions, and structures agent instructions for agentic systems. Use when the user asks to create, generate, or design prompts for AI agents, especially for tool-using agents, planning agents, or autonomous systems. **PROACTIVE ACTIVATION**: Auto-invoke when designing prompts for agents, tools, or agentic workflows in AI projects. **DETECTION**: Check for agent/tool-related code, prompt files, or user mentions of "prompt", "agent", "LLM". **USE CASES**: Designing system prompts, tool descriptions, agent instructions, prompt optimization, reducing hallucinations.

Generate optimized prompts for agentic systems with clear rationale for technique selection.

For broader agentic system design (choosing workflows vs agents, ACI/tool specifications, guardrails, multi-agent patterns), see the ai-engineering skill.

Use when: Agent needs to reason and use tools autonomously
