meta-prompt

The meta-prompt command generates optimized prompts for complex tasks by applying structured meta-prompting techniques including task decomposition, expert role assignment, and iterative verification checkpoints. Use this when you need to create detailed, reliable prompts that break down complicated objectives into verifiable subtasks with built-in validation steps and explicit uncertainty handling.
