## ⚠️ CRITICAL CONSTRAINTS - READ FIRST

**This skill generates PROMPTS only. It does NOT implement the work described in the prompt.**

### What This Skill DOES:
✅ Generate a comprehensive PROMPT (text document in chosen format)
✅ **Ask 5-7 questions to understand requirements** (MANDATORY - no skipping)
✅ Validate prompt quality before delivery
✅ Output a SINGLE prompt document with token count
✅ Provide the prompt ready to copy and use elsewhere

### What This Skill DOES NOT DO:
❌ Implement the actual work (no code files, no diagrams, no APIs)
❌ Create architectural diagrams or technical implementations
❌ Write actual marketing campaigns or business strategies
❌ Build infrastructure or deploy anything
❌ Create multiple files or deliverables
❌ Execute the prompt after generating it

### Expected Workflow:
1. User asks for help creating a prompt
2. **Skill MUST ask 5-7 questions** (even if context seems obvious)
3. User answers questions with specific details
4. Skill generates ONE comprehensive prompt document
5. Skill announces token count (e.g., "Generated prompt: 4,200 tokens")
6. **STOP** - Do not implement anything from the prompt
7. Ask: "Would you like me to modify the prompt or create a variation?"

### Why This Matters:
- **Prevents scope creep**: You're making a prompt, not doing the work
- **Saves context**: One prompt document vs. dozens of implementation files
- **Clear deliverable**: User gets a prompt to use with any LLM
- **Reusability**: The prompt can be used multiple times

**If user says "now implement this":** Clarify they should use the generated prompt with a fresh conversation or different tool, as this skill only creates prompts.

  - **Use when**: You need a single prompt for a common role (e.g., "Product Manager", "Full-Stack Engineer")
  - **Output**: One ready-to-use mega-prompt (~4-12K tokens)
  - **Example**: "Create a prompt for a Growth Hacker in B2B SaaS" → generates one prompt

- **PROMPTS_FACTORY_PROMPT.md**: Meta-prompt that generates domain-specific prompt builders
  - **Use when**: You want to create a new prompt generation system for a specific domain (e.g., Healthcare, FinTech, Legal)
  - **Output**: A complete prompt builder with 10-20 role presets for that domain
  - **Example**: "Generate a FinTech Prompt Builder" → creates a system with 10-20 FinTech role presets
  - **Location**: `documentation/templates/PROMPTS_FACTORY_PROMPT.md`

**Quick Decision**:
- Need one prompt now? → Use this skill (prompt-factory)
- Building a prompt system for a new domain? → Use PROMPTS_FACTORY_PROMPT.md
