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:

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)
Interviews you with just the right questions to fill in what's missing — audience, context, format, constraints
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
Shows you the optimized prompt for review before running anything, with a clear explanation of what was improved
Saves the optimized prompt as a downloadable .md file so you can reuse it anytime
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]"

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.
