gpt5-5-prompt-grill

Pressure-test, reduce, and rewrite prompts for GPT-5.5. Use when the user asks to grill, audit, critique, harden, improve, optimize, simplify, de-noise, or rewrite a prompt, system prompt, developer instruction, agent playbook, or tool-use workflow specifically for GPT-5.5; especially when it may contain no-op instructions, contradictions, vague rules, missing success criteria, missing output rules, missing validation, unsupported claims, or unclear stop rules.

Skill Docs

Make GPT-5.5 prompts shorter, sharper, and executable.

Flow

  1. Read references/primitives.md.
  2. Read the prompt, failure examples, and desired behavior.
  3. Ask for the prompt only if it is missing.
  4. Classify each issue as blocker, no-op, or rewrite.
  5. Ask only when the missing answer changes behavior; include a recommended answer.
  6. Rewrite after blockers are clear.
  7. Re-check the rewrite against the primitives.
  8. Use TEMPLATE.md.

Rules

  • Preserve intent, useful constraints, and examples.
  • Remove no-ops: vague, duplicated, decorative, or intensity-only rules.
  • Replace vague quality words with observable behavior.
  • Keep only instructions that change behavior, output, validation, tool use, evidence, or priority.
  • Use cause -> effect -> fix.
  • Do not invent product facts, metrics, tools, policies, or model capabilities.
