# Prompt Optimizer

A Claude CoWork plugin for the MPM team that transforms rough requests into precise, well-structured prompts — getting dramatically better results from Claude with less trial and error.

## What It Does

When you have an idea but aren't sure how to ask Claude for it, the Prompt Optimizer steps in. It:

1. **Asks how experienced you are** with Claude prompting — and calibrates how many questions it asks based on your answer (beginners get more guidance; advanced users get a faster, lighter-touch experience)
2. **Interviews you** with just the right questions to fill in what's missing — audience, context, format, constraints
3. **Automatically selects the right skills** — if you need a Word doc, it invokes the docx skill; a presentation, the pptx skill; branded content, the MPM brand voice skill — all woven in naturally
4. **Shows you the optimized prompt** for review before running anything, with a clear explanation of what was improved
5. **Saves the optimized prompt** as a downloadable `.md` file so you can reuse it anytime
6. **Executes immediately** once you approve

## How to Use It

Just say any of the following:
- "Optimize this prompt: [your rough idea]"
- "Help me ask this better: [your request]"
- "I'm not getting what I want from Claude — help me improve my prompt"
- "Prompt optimizer"
- "Make this clearer for Claude: [text]"

## Skill

| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| `optimize-prompt` | Full optimization workflow — interview, rewrite, review, save, execute |

## Skills Integrated

The optimizer is aware of all MPM skills and will automatically include the right ones:

- `docx` — Word documents
- `pptx` — Presentations and slide decks
- `xlsx` — Spreadsheets
- `pdf` — PDF creation and manipulation
- `mpm-brand-voice:brand-voice-enforcement` — On-brand content
- `odoo-mpm:odoo` — MPM business data lookups
- `display-catalog:display-catalog` — MPM product specs (preferred source; falls back to Odoo)

## Important: MPM Product Specs

MPM manufactures all its own displays. The optimizer will never direct Claude to search the web for MPM product specifications — all spec lookups use internal sources only (Display Catalog skill or Odoo).

## Installation

Install via the Plugins panel in Claude CoWork.
