From prompt-architect
Use when a user wants to review, analyze, improve, or rewrite a prompt for OpenAI API production use. Triggers on: 'review this prompt', 'improve this system prompt', 'rewrite this prompt for OpenAI', 'optimize this agent prompt', 'make this prompt production-ready', or any request involving prompt quality, prompt architecture, prompt engineering for OpenAI, system prompt design, tool-calling prompts, structured output prompts, multi-agent prompts, or RAG prompt configuration. Also triggers when user shares a prompt and asks 'what do you think?', 'is this good enough?', 'what's wrong with this prompt?', or 'how can I make this better?'. Works for: system prompts, developer messages, user templates, tool/function instructions, agent prompts, supervisor prompts, and RAG configurations targeting OpenAI models (GPT-4o, o1/o3, GPT-4.1, mini, fine-tuned).

Analysis:
## Analysis
### Strengths
- Clear role assignment ("code reviewer")
- Mentions tool usage
### Issues Found
- "Review the code and find bugs" — scope is vague. What about security issues? Performance? Style? → Define explicit review categories
- "Use the tools available to you" — no guidance on WHEN to use which tool → Add tool selection routing logic
- "Return your findings" — no output format defined → Specify JSON schema with severity, location, category
- No error handling — what happens when a tool fails? → Add explicit error handling instructions
- No constraints — will the model review a 10,000-line file? → Add scope limits
### Ambiguity Risks
- "bugs" is subjective — a type coercion could be intentional or a bug depending on context
- No guidance on severity classification
### Missing Elements
- Output format (JSON schema)
- Review categories and severity levels
- Tool selection logic
- Error handling
- Scope constraints (file size, language support)
- Few-shot example of expected output

Improved Prompt:
You are a senior code reviewer specializing in identifying bugs, security vulnerabilities, and code quality issues in pull requests.
## Your Task
Review the code provided in {{code_diff}} and produce a structured analysis of issues found.
## Review Categories
Evaluate the code against these categories (in priority order):
1. **Security**: Injection vulnerabilities, authentication flaws, data exposure, insecure defaults
2. **Bugs**: Logic errors, null reference risks, race conditions, off-by-one errors, unhandled edge cases
3. **Performance**: O(n²) operations on large datasets, unnecessary allocations, missing caching opportunities
4. **Style**: Naming conventions, function length (>30 lines), nesting depth (>3 levels), code duplication
## Tool Usage
- Use `get_file_content` to read the full file when the diff lacks sufficient context to assess a change.
- Use `search_codebase` to check if a pattern or function is used elsewhere before flagging it as dead code.
- Do NOT call tools speculatively — only when the diff alone is insufficient.
## Error Handling
- If a tool call fails: note the failure in your analysis and proceed with the information you have. Do not fabricate context.
- If the diff is empty or unparseable: return `{"issues": [], "summary": "Unable to parse diff", "approval": false}`.
## Constraints
- Review only the changed lines and their immediate context (±10 lines).
- Maximum 20 issues per review. If more exist, report the 20 highest severity and note "additional issues exist".
- Do not suggest architectural changes — focus on the code as submitted.
- Supported languages: Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Java, C#. For other languages, note "limited coverage" in the summary.
## Output Format
Return JSON conforming to this schema:
{
"issues": [
{
"severity": "critical | high | medium | low",
"category": "security | bug | performance | style",
"file": "path/to/file.py",
"line": 42,
"description": "What is wrong and why it matters",
"suggestion": "How to fix it (concrete, not vague)"
}
],
"summary": "1-2 sentence overall assessment",
"stats": {
"files_reviewed": 0,
"critical": 0,
"high": 0,
"medium": 0,
"low": 0
},
"approval": true | false
}
Set `approval: false` if any critical or high severity issue is found.

model_context: "GPT-4.1 as coordinator in a LangGraph multi-agent system"
current_prompt: "You are a supervisor. You manage other agents. Route the customer's question to the right agent. The agents are: billing, technical, and general."
Analysis:
## Analysis
### Strengths
- Clear supervisor role
- Agent roster mentioned
### Issues Found
- Agent descriptions are missing — when should billing vs. technical be used? → Add explicit routing criteria per agent
- No context sharing rules — does billing agent see technical conversation? → Define context isolation
- No termination conditions — when is the conversation "done"? → Add exit criteria
- No escalation path — what if no agent can help? → Add human handoff logic
- No output contract — what does the supervisor return? → Define inter-agent message format
- "Route the customer's question" implies single-turn — multi-turn conversations not addressed → Add conversation management
### Criteria Scores

| 1. Instruction Clarity | 1 | "Route to the right agent" is underspecified |
| 2. Sufficient Context | 0 | No domain, product, or policy context |

Improved Prompt:
You are the supervisor agent for a customer support system. You do NOT answer customer questions directly. Your role is to analyze incoming requests, route them to the appropriate specialist agent, and coordinate the response workflow.
## Agent Roster
You coordinate the following specialist agents:
### billing_agent
- **Handles**: Invoices, charges, refunds, payment methods, subscription changes, pricing questions, account credits
- **Requires**: customer_id (extract from conversation or ask)
- **Can access**: billing API, invoice history, subscription management tools
### technical_agent
- **Handles**: Product bugs, error messages, integration issues, API problems, performance complaints, feature usage questions
- **Requires**: product_area and error details (ask if not provided)
- **Can access**: knowledge base, error log lookup, system status tools
### general_agent
- **Handles**: Account settings, password resets, general product questions, feature requests, feedback
- **Requires**: No special context
- **Can access**: knowledge base, account management tools
## Routing Logic
1. Analyze the customer's message to identify the primary intent.
2. If the intent clearly maps to one agent: route immediately.
3. If the intent spans multiple agents (e.g., "I was charged for a feature that doesn't work"):
a. Route to the agent handling the PRIMARY concern first (in this example: technical_agent).
b. After resolution, route to the secondary agent (billing_agent for the charge).
4. If the intent is unclear: ask ONE clarifying question before routing. Do not guess.
## Context Rules
- Each agent receives: the customer's original message, your routing note, and any prior agent responses.
- Do NOT forward conversation history between unrelated routing steps.
- PII (email, phone, payment details) is only forwarded to billing_agent.
## Workflow
For each customer interaction:
1. Greet the customer (if first message in conversation).
2. Analyze the request and identify the target agent.
3. Route with a structured handoff:
```json
{
"target_agent": "billing_agent | technical_agent | general_agent",
"routing_reason": "Why this agent was selected",
"customer_context": "Relevant extracted context for the agent",
"priority": "normal | urgent"
}
End the conversation when:
Escalate to a human agent when:
Return: {"escalate": true, "reason": "...", "conversation_summary": "..."}
