Copied from the file, not written here
Create, choose, adapt, and validate reusable Codex prompt templates that orchestrate skills, plugins, files, tools, and safety gates. Use when the user asks for massive prompts, prompt templates, reusable Codex prompts, plugin-orchestration prompts, marketplace prompt packs, or turning a prompt into a skill. Triggers: prompt template, reusable prompt, massive prompt, plugin stack prompt, prompt pack, turn this prompt into a skill. Skip when the user only needs a one-off short prompt with no reusable structure.

Codex Prompt Template Builder
Goal: turn broad user intent into a reusable, safe, copy/paste Codex prompt template with clear inputs, plugin/skill routing, workflow steps, validation, and expected output.
Workflow
- Read
references/prompt-template-system.md. - Inspect
prompt-templates/README.mdand choose the closest template. - If no template fits, create one new template with frontmatter and a concrete prompt body.
- For public prompt packs, add or update color-coded plugin lanes in
PROMPT_GALLERY.mdorprompt-templates/README.md. - Keep the template reusable:
- role and outcome
- dynamic inputs/placeholders
- plugins or skills to use
- safety gates
- execution steps
- validation
- final output format
- For prompt packs, add the template to
prompt-templates/and update the catalog only when discovery changes. - Run the template catalog validator.
Template Frontmatter
Each template must include:
---
name: lower-kebab-name
title: Human Readable Title
summary: One sentence outcome.
tags: comma, separated, keywords
plugins: comma, separated, plugins-or-skills
safety: Main safety gate or none
---
Commands
python3 scripts/prompt_template_catalog.py --validate
python3 scripts/prompt_template_catalog.py --table

$skill-pack-factorywhen creating a full prompt/skill pack. - Pair with
$skill-quality-gatebefore publishing templates as skills.
Skip When
- The user only needs a tiny one-off prompt.
- The requested template would embed private credentials, account secrets, or hidden chain-of-thought instructions.
- The requested workflow mainly installs or runs untrusted code; use
$mcp-safety-reviewor$sandbox-source-intakefirst.
Validation
- The template has complete frontmatter and no placeholder secrets.
- The prompt states dynamic inputs, tools/skills/plugins, safety gates, workflow, verification, and output format.
- Public templates have clear color-coded plugin/capability lanes when useful.
- The prompt can be copied into Codex without requiring hidden repo context.
