Builds complete, optimized Claude prompts and Project scaffolds from task descriptions. Use when building, designing, creating, or structuring a Claude prompt or system prompt. Trigger on: "build me a prompt," "compile a prompt for," "create a system prompt," "write a Claude prompt," "design a prompt for," "help me write a prompt," "scaffold a Claude Project," "design a Project for." Uses a four-stage methodology (Parse, Select, Construct, Validate) and a tested 5-layer architecture (Identity, Objective, Context, Reasoning, Output + Quality Control). In Project Mode, the Compiler is global-layer-aware — checks User Preferences, installed Skills, and MCP Connectors to avoid redundancy and flag gaps. Do NOT use for auditing existing prompts (use rootnode-prompt-validation if available) or diagnosing existing Projects (use rootnode-project-audit if available). Opus recommended; non-Opus models may produce less complete prompt construction.
Rootnode Prompt Compilation includes worked examples; pricing or quota commentary. At roughly 3,241 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.
