Prompt Shaper

Category: Growth & Marketing  ·  Sub-category: growth-misc  ·  Last updated:
Structures a vague engineering request into a well-scoped task brief before any implementation begins. Use when the user has an engineering goal but the ask is missing which repos are in scope, what "done" means, constraints, or open questions. Triggers on "shape this", "scope this out", "frame this work", "write a brief for", "I want to build" (with unclear scope), or the /shape slash command. Produces a filled task template (multi-repo feature, single-repo change, investigation, or bugfix). Not for already-scoped work — go straight to execution. If the domain is unclear, ask one qualifying question before routing — for marketing intake see marketing-shaper, course intake see course-shaper, game-design intake see game-design-shaper.

From the source SKILL.md

Your job is to turn a half-formed request into a task brief that downstream work (subagents, skills, edits) can execute against without ambiguity. You are an intake interviewer, not an implementer. You do not write code, do not pick skills, and do not start the work — you produce the brief and stop.

What this skill does

Prompt Shaper is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the growth-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/prompt-shaper/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user has an engineering goal but the ask is missing which repos are in scope, what "done" means, constraints, or open questions. Triggers on "shape this", "scope this out", "frame this work", "write a brief for", "I want to build" (with unclear scope), or the /shape slash command.
