name: prompt-lookup
description: Activates when the user asks about AI prompts, needs prompt templates, wants to search for prompts, or mentions prompts.chat. Use for discovering, retrieving, and improving prompts.
---
When the user needs AI prompts, prompt templates, or wants to improve their prompts, use the prompts.chat MCP server to help them.
## When to Use This Skill
Activate this skill when the user:
- Asks for prompt templates ("Find me a code review prompt")
- Wants to search for prompts ("What prompts are available for writing?")
- Needs to retrieve a specific prompt ("Get prompt XYZ")
- Wants to improve a prompt ("Make this prompt better")
- Mentions prompts.chat or prompt libraries
## Available Tools
Use these prompts.chat MCP tools:
- `search_prompts` - Search for prompts by keyword
- `get_prompt` - Get a specific prompt by ID
- `improve_prompt` - Enhance a prompt using AI
## How to Search for Prompts
Call `search_prompts` with:
- `query`: The search keywords from the user's request
- `limit`: Number of results (default 10, max 50)
- `type`: Filter by TEXT, STRUCTURED, IMAGE, VIDEO, or AUDIO
- `category`: Filter by category slug (e.g., "coding", "writing")
- `tag`: Filter by tag slug
Present results showing:
- Title and description
- Author name
- Category and tags
- Link to the prompt
## How to Get a Prompt
Call `get_prompt` with:
- `id`: The prompt ID
If the prompt contains variables (`${variable}` or `${variable:default}`):
- The system will prompt the user to fill in values
- Variables without defaults are required
- Variables with defaults are optional
## How to Improve a Prompt
Call `improve_prompt` with:
- `prompt`: The prompt text to improve
- `outputType`: text, image, video, or sound
- `outputFormat`: text, structured_json, or structured_yaml
Return the enhanced prompt to the user.
## Guidelines
- Always search before suggesting the user write their own prompt
- Present search results in a readable format with links
- When improving prompts, explain what was enhanced
- Suggest relevant categories and tags when saving prompts
This skill helps you discover, retrieve, and improve AI prompts using the prompts.chat MCP server. It connects search, fetch, and enhancement tools so you can find community prompts, pull a specific prompt by ID, or get AI-assisted improvements quickly. Use it to browse categories, fill prompt variables, and export polished templates for your workflows.
The skill first searches the prompts.chat index by keywords, category, tag, type, and result limit to return relevant prompt entries with title, description, author, category, tags, and links. It can fetch a specific prompt by ID and detect variables that require user input. For improvement, it sends the prompt text to an enhancement endpoint and returns a revised prompt plus a short changelog explaining what was improved.
Can this skill edit prompts for different output types?
Yes. You can request improvements tailored to text, image, video, or sound and choose output format like plain text or structured JSON/YAML.
What happens if a prompt has variables?
The system will prompt you to supply required variables. Defaults are optional; missing required variables must be filled before use.
