How I Turned Anthropic's Prompting Framework Into a One-Command Tool

Built a terminal-based Prompt Builder for Claude

Note before downloading: One thing to note — it requires zsh on macOS. The script uses zsh-specific

syntax ((N) glob qualifiers, ${(s:,:)} splitting, print -r) and macOS-specific

commands (pbcopy for clipboard, stat -f for file dates). If your on

Linux or using bash, it won't work without modifications.

Spent some time building a tool that solves a problem I kept running into -

inconsistent prompts. Every time I'd start a Claude session, I was either

forgetting key pieces (context, constraints, role) or spending too long

thinking about structure before even getting to the actual work.

So I built a Prompt Builder script that runs right in my terminal. Type prompt

and it walks you through Anthropic's 9-element framework step by step - task,

audience, tone, format, context, examples, role, reasoning, constraints. When

you're done it copies the finished prompt to your clipboard with proper XML

tags (which is how Anthropic recommends structuring prompts for best results).

Just shipped v2.0 with templates (email, strategy, analysis, code review), a

quick mode for when you just need task + role + constraints, a searchable

prompt library so you can reload and tweak past prompts, and the ability to

inject context from a file instead of typing it all out. Zero dependencies,

pure shell script, works on any Mac terminal.

Small tool but it's already changing how I work with Claude. Better inputs,

better outputs. Every time.🔥
