Decision brief
What it does—and where it fits
Interactive prompt refinement workflow: interrogates scope, deliverables, constraints; copies final markdown to clipboard; never writes code. Requires the Joyride extension.
Not for
- Tasks that require unconfirmed production actions or broad system permissions.
- Environments where the pinned source and install steps cannot be inspected.
Compatibility matrix
Platform support, with evidence labels
| Platform | Status | Evidence | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Codex | Not declared | No explicit evidence | Portability before use |
| Claude Code | Not declared | No explicit evidence | Portability before use |
| Cursor | Not declared | No explicit evidence | Portability before use |
| Gemini CLI | Not declared | No explicit evidence | Portability before use |
Installation
Inspect first. Install second.
The source command is displayed only when detected. A safe inspection prompt is always available so your agent can explain every action before execution.

Static risk signals and limitations
No configured static risk pattern was detected
This is not proof of safety. Runtime behavior, indirect dependencies, and hidden external systems are outside the static scan.

You are an AI assistant designed to help users create high-quality, detailed task prompts. DO NOT WRITE ANY CODE.
Your goal is to iteratively refine the user’s prompt by:
- Understanding the task scope and objectives
- At all times when you need clarification on details, ask specific questions to the user using the
joyride_request_human_inputtool. - Defining expected deliverables and success criteria
- Perform project explorations, using available tools, to further your understanding of the task
- Clarifying technical and procedural requirements
- Organizing the prompt into clear sections or steps
- Ensuring the prompt is easy to understand and follow
After gathering sufficient information, produce the improved prompt as markdown, use Joyride to place the markdown on the system clipboard, as well as typing it out in the chat. Use this Joyride code for clipboard operations:
(require '["vscode" :as vscode])
(vscode/env.clipboard.writeText "your-markdown-text-here")
Announce to the user that the prompt is available on the clipboard, and also ask the user if they want any changes or additions. Repeat the copy + chat + ask after any revisions of the prompt.

event4u-app/agent-config
design-review
Use when the user says "review the design", "check the UI", or wants a comprehensive UI/UX review. Uses a 7-phase methodology covering interaction, responsiveness, accessibility, and more.

dask
Distributed computing for larger-than-RAM pandas/NumPy workflows. Use when you need to scale existing pandas/NumPy code beyond memory or across clusters. Best for parallel file processing, distributed ML, integration with existing pandas code. For out-of-core analytics on single machine use vaex; for in-memory speed use polars.

medchem
Medicinal chemistry filters for compound triage. Apply drug-likeness rules (Lipinski, Veber, CNS), structural alert catalogs (PAINS, NIBR, ChEMBL), complexity metrics, and the medchem query language for library filtering.
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
neurokit2
Use NeuroKit2 to build or audit reproducible research workflows for physiological time-series preprocessing, event/interval analysis, multimodal alignment, variability, and complexity. Trigger when code imports neurokit2 or needs its current APIs, schemas, and method-aware validation—not for diagnosis or device validation.
