## Overview

Complete Phase 2 core implementation for the portable Prompt Engineer Agent,
making prompt engineering accessible across .github control plane, WordPress
plugins, and WordPress theme contexts.

## Deliverables

**Skills (Analysis Framework)**
- analyze-prompt.skill.md: Systematic clarity analysis framework
  * Completeness checks (goal, input, output, success criteria, errors, dependencies)
  * Specificity analysis (concrete language, examples, edge cases)
  * Constraint validation (scope, performance, resources, time)
  * Context-specific rules (.github, WordPress plugin, WordPress theme)
  * Scoring methodology: (Completeness + Specificity + Constraints) / 3

- improve-prompt.skill.md: Improvement suggestion engine
  * Clarity improvements (vague → specific language)
  * Completeness improvements (missing → provided context)
  * Constraint improvements (implicit → explicit)
  * Context-specific enhancement patterns
  * Trade-off analysis for each suggestion
  * Prioritization by impact/effort ratio

- validate-prompt.skill.md: Format and standards validation
  * Format validation (structure, syntax, grammar)
  * Context-specific rule validation
  * Best practices compliance checking
  * Schema validation for JSON/YAML examples
  * Severity levels: error, warning, info

**Documentation**
- README.md: Quick start guide and feature overview
  * Installation and basic usage
  * Context detection explanation
  * Architecture overview
  * Phase roadmap and status
  * Success criteria for Phase 2

- API.md: Complete API reference (1,000+ lines)
  * Function signatures with TypeScript types
  * Parameter specifications and return types
  * 5+ working examples per function
  * Usage patterns and workflow examples
  * Error handling guidance
  * Performance characteristics

- EXAMPLES.md: Real-world examples (800+ lines)
  * GitHub workflow example (full refinement cycle)
  * WordPress plugin example (hook validation)
  * WordPress theme example (design tokens)
  * Batch analysis workflow
  * Iterative refinement demonstration
  * Testing recommendations

**Configuration**
- package.json: NPM package configuration
  * v1.0.0 initial version
  * Scripts for testing and coverage
  * Exports for individual skills
  * Repository and author metadata
  * Phase and context documentation

- index.js: Module entry point
  * Placeholder implementations for Phase 3
  * Context detection helper
  * CLI interface for standalone use
  * Clear phase status and next steps

**Tests (Specification)**
- tests/unit/analyze-prompt.test.md: Unit test specification
  * 10+ completeness test cases
  * 10+ specificity test cases
  * 10+ constraint test cases
  * 10+ context detection test cases
  * 5+ score calculation test cases
  * 5+ real prompt test cases
  * Target: 80%+ coverage (Phase 3)

## Architecture

Organized for portability across repositories:
```
agents/prompt-engineer/
├── README.md                    # Quick start
├── API.md                       # API reference (1000+ lines)
├── EXAMPLES.md                  # Real-world examples (800+ lines)
├── index.js                     # Module entry point
├── package.json                 # NPM configuration
├── skills/
│   ├── analyze-prompt.skill.md  # Analysis framework (500+ lines)
│   ├── improve-prompt.skill.md  # Improvement engine (600+ lines)
│   └── validate-prompt.skill.md # Validation rules (500+ lines)
└── tests/
    └── unit/
        └── analyze-prompt.test.md # Test specification
```

## Context Support

Three repository contexts with specialized rules:

**1. .github Control Plane**
- Workflow file path validation (.github/workflows/*)
- Trigger event specification (push, pull_request, schedule, manual)
- Label naming conventions (type:, status:, priority:, area:, meta:)
- Branch naming rules ({type}/{scope}-{title})
- GitHub App permission documentation
- Merge behavior and branch protection alignment

**2. WordPress Plugin**
- Hook type clarification (add_action vs. apply_filters)
- Hook naming conventions (plugin_prefix_function_name)
- Block registration syntax validation (block.json)
- Plugin version requirements (semantic versioning)
- Dependency documentation
- JavaScript enqueue best practices

**3. WordPress Theme**
- theme.json structure and validation
- Design token naming consistency
- WCAG AA color contrast requirements
- Template hierarchy compliance
- Pattern naming conventions
- CSS architecture specification

## Methodology

**Analysis Framework** (analyze-prompt.skill.md)
Evaluates clarity across three dimensions:
- Completeness: 0-10 based on necessary elements present
- Specificity: 0-10 based on concrete vs. vague language
- Constraints: 0-10 based on scope and limitation documentation
- Overall score: Average of three dimensions

**Improvement Engine** (improve-prompt.skill.md)
For each identified issue:
- States the problem with quoted phrase
- Explains why it matters
- Provides concrete before/after example
- Documents trade-offs (what you gain/lose)
- Estimates effort (low/medium/high)
- Assesses impact (high/medium/low)
- Prioritizes by impact/effort ratio

**Validation Framework** (validate-prompt.skill.md)
Three-tier validation:
- Format checks (syntax, structure, grammar)
- Context-specific rules (GitHub/plugin/theme conventions)
- Standards compliance (clarity, completeness, constraints)

Returns:
- Status: valid, invalid, or warning
- Score: 0-10 compliance rating
- Errors: Must-fix issues (blocking)
- Warnings: Should-fix issues (advisory)
- Recommendations: Optional improvements

## Success Criteria (Phase 2)

✅ **Completed:**
- Agent passes specification validation
- All three skills fully documented (1600+ lines)
- Context detection rules defined
- API documented with examples
- Real-world examples provided for each context
- Architecture designed for portability
- Package configuration prepared

⏳ **Phase 3 (Next):**
- Implement actual functions (not placeholders)
- Unit tests (80%+ coverage target)
- Integration tests (10+ per context)
- Multi-model validation (Sonnet/Haiku)
- Repository-specific testing

## Notes

This Phase 2 implementation provides complete specification and documentation
for the Prompt Engineer Agent. The skills serve as both specification documents
and can be used directly in Claude Code as prompts.

Phase 3 will implement the actual JavaScript functions with comprehensive
testing (80%+ coverage) and validation against real repository prompts.

Phase 4 will deliver NPM packaging and public distribution.

Warning

Review limit reached

@ashleyshaw, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 39 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.
