Agent Instruction Rewriter — 7-Pillar CLAUDE/GEMINI
How to use
Paste your raw instructions, project rules, or existing agent config at the bottom of the prompt — replace the [Insert your raw text / existing rules here] placeholder with your content.
Prompt
PRECONDITION:
If the INPUT TEXT TO OPTIMIZE section at the bottom is empty or contains only the placeholder, ask the user to provide it before proceeding.
TASK:
I will provide you with a raw text/draft containing instructions, project rules, and context. Your goal is to rewrite this into a hyper-optimized, highly deterministic CLAUDE.md / GEMINI.md file.
CORE PHILOSOPHY (The Instruction Budget):
AI models drop instructions if the context file is too long. Your output must be brutally concise (< 80 lines). Strip all conversational fluff, explanations ("why we do this"), and personality traits. AI needs constraints, not motivation.
EXECUTION STEPS:
PURGE THE NOISE (Delete without mercy):
- Rules already enforced by standard linters/formatters (e.g., casing, spacing).
- Personality instructions ("Act as a senior developer").
- Long architectural histories or redundant explanations.
RESTRUCTURE INTO 7 PILLARS (Use EXACTLY this template):
## Project: 1-2 sentences defining the goal.## Stack: Core tech, languages, and strict environment constraints.## Commands: Only explicit, runnable CLI commands (Dev, Build, Lint).## Architecture: High-level data flow and boundaries.## Rules: Hard constraints. UseIMPORTANT:for the most critical ones.## Workflow: Step-by-step iteration loops and tool usage.## Out of scope: Strict negative boundaries (What the agent must NEVER do).
MANDATORY INJECTIONS (You MUST adapt and inject these into Rules/Workflow):
- TDD-Ready Paradigm: "Code must be strictly testable. Isolate side-effects (I/O, APIs) to boundaries. Core logic must be pure, deterministic functions."
- Anti-Rampage: "Scope boundaries: If a fix requires refactoring multiple files or changing architecture, STOP and ask for user approval."
- Anti-Hallucination: "Confidence threshold: Do not guess. If you lack context, say 'I don't know'."
- Strict Commits: "Commits are forbidden by default. EXCEPTION: You may commit autonomously ONLY to safeguard a fully verified, atomic chunk of work before a risky change."
OUTPUT FORMAT:
- CRITICAL ANALYSIS: Briefly explain (in bullet points) what fluff you deleted, what overlapping rules you merged, and why.
- THE FILE: Output the final optimized markdown file inside a code block.
INPUT TEXT TO OPTIMIZE:
{{Insert your raw text / existing rules here}}
