Autoprompt
A coding-agent skill that reduces failures on hard development tasks through more disciplined work
Medium risk
We rate an entry medium when the tool runs code, makes network calls or reads project files. Check what exactly it does before installing.
Why this level
- The skill affects how the agent executes tasks in the dev environment
- It installs globally via npm
Install
In your terminal, with SkillFoxx CLI
npx skillfoxx add skills/autopromptDetects the agents on your machine, checks the risk and pins the version.
Other ways to install
Assembled automatically, review before installing.

Install the skill globally: git clone https://github.com/Spielewoy/autoprompt-skill, then npm install -g . in the repository directory.
Other ways from the author
git clone https://github.com/Spielewoy/autoprompt-skill
cd autoprompt-skill
npm install -g .Global npm install, needs Node.js.
This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.
What it does
Autoprompt adds a layer of discipline to a coding agent on hard development tasks. The skill helps the agent act more consistently and fail less often on multi-step work. It installs globally through npm from a release or from a repository clone and plugs into the agent's workflow. It is an add-on to the agent, not a separate application.
Who it is for. For developers who give the agent hard multi-step tasks and want fewer failures.
Good fit when
- The agent often fails on long development tasks
- You need more consistent agent work on code
- You need an add-on without switching the agent itself
Not a fit when
- Tasks are simple and one-off, where the add-on is unnecessary
- You need a standalone tool rather than a layer over the agent
Example request
Take this multi-step task and work through it consistently without losing contextLimitations
Autoprompt is an add-on to a coding agent, and its effect depends on the model and the nature of the tasks. Installation is global via npm and needs Node.js. The skill does not replace code review and testing.
How to disable. Remove the package with npm uninstall -g autoprompt-skill or delete it from the agent's skills directory.
Security check
- The skill affects how the agent executes tasks in the dev environment
- It installs globally via npm
README in short
The README presents Autoprompt as a skill add-on for coding agents that makes their work on hard tasks more disciplined and reduces failures. It installs globally via npm from a release package or a repository clone. It is a layer over the agent, not a standalone application. MIT licensed.
FAQ
Is it a separate agent?
No, it is a skill add-on for your coding agent that plugs into its workflow.
How do I install it?
Globally via npm from a release package or from a repository clone with npm install -g .
