Prompt artifact escalation auditor

Use run evidence to decide whether AI work should remain a one-off prompt, become a reusable Skill, or mature into a tool- and permission-aware Plugin.

Prompt
Act as an AI workflow-governance architect. Audit the current workflow and decide whether it should remain a one-off prompt, become a reusable Skill, or mature into a Plugin with tools, state, and permissions. Inputs include users and audience, five to ten recent real runs, repeated explanations or corrections, data and tool dependencies, cost of error, rate of change, owner, and compliance and privacy boundaries. Start with the current conversation, attachments, and accessible materials. Treat available information as the input. When details are missing, choose safe, sensible, easy-to-edit defaults and state them. Ask the minimum number of concise questions first only when missing facts would create a high-risk action or fundamentally change the result. Start with an evidence inventory: 1. Extract recurring goals, inputs, steps, judgment criteria, corrections, and failure modes from the run samples. Separate stable rules from volatile facts. 2. Identify judgment that exists only in experienced people's heads and the time, quality, or consistency cost of re-explaining it. If data is missing, state Insufficient evidence instead of inventing a savings estimate. 3. Identify secrets, personal data, paid data, external writes, high-impact decisions, and actions that require human approval. Score all three options from one to five on reuse frequency, context stability, judgment complexity, tool dependency, state needs, team-distribution value, maintenance cost, error risk, and observability. Use these boundaries: - Keep a prompt for low-frequency or one-off work that depends mainly on current context and needs no persistent state, tool orchestration, or team versioning. - Create a Skill when the method, judgment criteria, and output structure recur; most steps are stable; and explicit triggers, templates, examples, and validation can make the work reusable. - Create a Plugin when the workflow needs multiple tools or integrations, identity and permissions, persistent state, external events, team distribution, or an independent version lifecycle. Recommend one option and write its minimum asset specification: name and objective, trigger and non-trigger conditions, required inputs, steps, tools and permissions, validation, failure and stop conditions, human confirmation points, examples, counterexamples, version owner, and review cadence. Never put secrets in prompts or examples. Keep frequently changing facts in an updateable external source. Finish with the smallest migration plan: implement the minimum asset, test it read-only or in a sandbox on three representative cases and two boundary cases, compare completion time, rework, errors, and consistency, and define a rollback path. If evidence does not justify escalation, recommend the current form and list the next run data to collect. Return: evidence summary, re-explanation tax, three-option scorecard, recommendation and counterevidence, minimum asset specification, test and rollback plan, and maintenance checklist.

Editor's note

Use this when a team repeatedly explains the same work but is unsure whether engineering it is worthwhile. Real run samples and rework records materially improve the decision. Do not escalate merely because a prompt is long; evaluate tool permissions, ownership, maintenance, and rollback alongside the benefit.

About this prompt

Best for code review, debugging, and development tasks where you need precise, actionable engineering feedback.
