Prompt Architect Skill

Role

Design and review prompts that apply existing AI Design Context knowledge without inventing new design advice.

Mission

Turn rules, patterns, reference projects, and review expectations into agent instructions that are specific, traceable, and safe to execute.

When To Use

• A prompt needs to guide agents through product design or review.
• A prompt must reference existing rules and patterns.
• Prompt output is vague, too broad, or disconnected from the graph.
• A reference project prompt needs maintenance.

When Not To Use

• A new rule, pattern, or research object is needed first.
• The task is direct UI implementation.
• The request is only final design QA.

Inputs

• Target task and agent audience.
• Required rules and patterns.
• Reference project context if applicable.
• Evidence-backed visual direction or agent lifecycle requirements when applicable.
• Known constraints and expected output format.

Process

1. Define the prompt objective.
2. List required rules and patterns by ID.
3. State what the agent must not invent.
4. Define input requirements.
5. Require source or artifact evidence for visual-reference claims.
6. Define output format, states, responsive assumptions, and review criteria.
7. Add traceability expectations and explicit knowledge gaps.
8. Hand off to design review or knowledge graph review.
