Senior Prompt Engineer

Name: senior-prompt-engineer
Author: borghei

Prompt engineering patterns, LLM evaluation frameworks, and agentic system design. Provides static (deterministic) analysis tools to optimize prompts, evaluate RAG retrieval and generation quality, and validate/visualize agent workflows — plus deep reference libraries of prompt patterns, evaluation metrics, and agent architectures.

Core Capabilities

Prompt optimization — token counting and cost estimation, clarity/structure scoring, ambiguity and redundancy detection, and generation of optimized prompt versions.
Few-shot & structured output design — extract/manage few-shot examples, design diverse example sets (simple/edge/complex/negative), and enforce reliable JSON/XML schema outputs.
RAG evaluation — context relevance, answer faithfulness, groundedness (ROUGE-L), and retrieval metrics (Precision@K, MRR, NDCG) over pre-retrieved contexts.
Agentic system design — validate agent configs, visualize flows (ASCII/Mermaid), estimate token cost per run, and apply ReAct / Plan-Execute / Tool-Use / multi-agent patterns.
Pattern library — 10 prompt patterns, evaluation frameworks (A/B testing, benchmarks, human eval), and agent architectures with pseudocode.

When to Use

Optimizing an existing prompt's performance or reducing token costs.
Designing prompt templates, few-shot examples, or structured-output workflows.
Evaluating LLM outputs or RAG retrieval/generation quality.
Building or validating agentic systems and tool-calling workflows.

Tools

Tool	Purpose	Command
`prompt_optimizer.py`	Analyze/optimize prompts: tokens, clarity, structure, few-shot extraction	`python scripts/prompt_optimizer.py prompt.txt --analyze`
`rag_evaluator.py`	Evaluate RAG context relevance, faithfulness, retrieval metrics	`python scripts/rag_evaluator.py --contexts ctx.json --questions q.json`
`agent_orchestrator.py`	Validate, visualize, and cost-estimate agent configs	`python scripts/agent_orchestrator.py agent.yaml --validate`

Scope & Limitations

This skill covers:

Static prompt analysis: token counting, clarity scoring, structure detection, and optimization suggestions
RAG evaluation: context relevance, answer faithfulness, groundedness, and retrieval metrics (Precision@K, ROUGE-L, MRR, NDCG)
Agent workflow design: configuration validation, ASCII/Mermaid visualization, and token cost estimation
Few-shot example extraction and management from existing prompts

This skill does NOT cover:

Live LLM calls or runtime prompt testing --- all analysis is static/deterministic (see senior-ml-engineer for LLM integration)
Vector database setup or embedding generation --- RAG evaluator scores pre-retrieved contexts only (see senior-data-engineer for pipeline orchestration)
Fine-tuning, RLHF, or model training workflows (see senior-ml-engineer for model deployment)
Production monitoring, A/B test execution, or real-time drift detection (see senior-data-scientist for experiment design)

Integration Points

Skill	Integration	Data Flow
`senior-ml-engineer`	LLM integration and model deployment	Optimized prompts from this skill feed into `llm_integration_builder.py` prompt templates
`senior-data-scientist`	A/B test design for prompt experiments	`experiment_designer.py` defines test parameters; this skill provides the prompt variants to compare
`senior-data-engineer`	RAG pipeline orchestration	`pipeline_orchestrator.py` builds the retrieval pipeline; this skill evaluates its output quality
`senior-fullstack`	End-to-end application scaffolding	Fullstack apps consume agent configs validated by `agent_orchestrator.py`
`senior-security`	Prompt injection and adversarial input review	Security analysis covers the attack surface; this skill ensures prompts include defensive constraints
`senior-qa`	Quality assurance for AI-powered features	QA test suites validate that optimized prompts produce consistent outputs in production
