skills/prompting-cache/SKILL.md
Manage the prompt engineering research cache. List, add, prune, or refresh cached research artifacts across three tiers — plugin-bundled, global, and project. Use when the user wants to manage their prompt research cache.
npx skillsauth add mjmorales/claude-prove prompting-cacheInstall this skill globally with one command. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Manage the prompt engineering research cache that supplements the bundled guide.
Later tiers override earlier tiers for entries with the same filename.

Not user-editable — updates come via plugin releases.~/.claude/cache/prompting/ -- user-managed, shared across all projects..prove/cache/prompting/ -- project-specific overrides.Each cache entry is a markdown file named by topic slug (e.g., claude-tool-use.md, llama3-system-prompts.md):

Show all cached entries from all three tiers, grouped by location.
Plugin (read-only):
claude-prompting-2026.md — Claude prompting best practices 2026 (2026-03-29)
Global (~/.claude/cache/prompting/):
few-shot-patterns.md — Few-shot example patterns (2026-03-15)
Project (.prove/cache/prompting/):
gemini-grounding.md — Gemini search grounding (2026-03-28)
For each entry, read the frontmatter to show the topic and fetch date. If no entries exist in a tier, say so. Mark plugin entries as "read-only".
Research a topic using WebSearch/WebFetch, distill the findings, and save to cache.

Anchor session context into prove primitives before compaction and rehydrate from them after. Built-in compaction summarizes by recency and drops the claude-prove state an agent needs to reorient; this skill externalizes volatile context into durable anchors (scrum tasks, decisions, run-state, a compact-anchors pointer file) pre-compact, then runs a deterministic reorientation sequence post-compact. Use before a manual /compact, when context is about to auto-compact, or immediately after a compaction. Triggers on "smart compact", "prepare for compaction", "anchor before compact", "context is getting long", "rehydrate", "reorient after compact".

Apply model-driven CONTENT reshaping to stored run artifacts that sit behind the current schema, on explicit operator invocation only. Triggers on "migrate runs", "migrate run artifacts", "run content migration", "reshape run artifacts", "bring runs to current schema". You are the driver: the `run-state migrate-runs` CLI mechanically detects which artifacts are behind and emits a plan naming each one plus its migration-instruction file; you read the instructions and reshape the prose/findings, gated by the operator. The deterministic `schema migrate` handles structural column moves; this skill covers only the content reshaping beyond them. Never run as a background or resident loop — only when the operator asks.

Synthesize the 7-section risk-forward Review Brief from a run's reasoning log. Triggers on "reasoning brief", "review brief", "synthesize the brief", "generate the brief", "brief the run", "brief for review", "story brief". You are the driver: the `acb brief` CLI renders a mechanical preservation-safe backbone and proves preservation; you synthesize the narrative prose (summary + changes), single-pass or multipass over episode chunks, then gate it through Stage-1 (mechanical, blocking) and Stage-2 (prose judge, advisory).

Prune stale cached versions of the prove plugin from Claude Code's plugin cache. Use when superseded versions pile up under plugins/cache and agents read stale skills/references from them, or when reclaiming plugin-cache disk space. Triggers on "clean up cached plugin versions", "prune the plugin cache", "remove old prove versions", "stale plugin cache".
