CTF — Context, Task, Format
Plus: Devil's Advocate, Pre-Mortem, Reverse Role Prompting

How It Works — 5-Stage Pipeline

Analysis — Evaluates your prompt across 5 dimensions (clarity, specificity, context, completeness, structure), each scored 1-10
Recommendation — Proposes the optimal framework with reasoning specific to your use case
Dialogue — Asks 3-5 targeted clarifying questions progressively
Application — Applies the selected framework to transform your prompt
Refinement — Iterates until satisfaction, with option to switch frameworks

Quality Scoring
