Prompt Architect — 27 Frameworks for Expert Prompts

Introduction

Prompt Architect is a Claude Code skill that systematically transforms vague prompts into structured, expert-grade prompts using 27 research-backed frameworks. It scores every prompt across 5 dimensions (clarity, specificity, context, completeness, structure) and recommends the best framework for your use case. Supports 30+ tools including Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Gemini CLI. GitHub 96+ stars, MIT open source.

27 Research-Driven Prompt Frameworks

27 frameworks grouped into three tiers by complexity:

High complexity: CO-STAR (content creation), RISEN (multi-step processes), CRISPE (creative writing), BROKE (constrained tasks)

Medium complexity: 17 frameworks including TIDD-EC (precise tasks), Chain of Thought (step-by-step reasoning), Tree of Thought (branch exploration), ReAct (reasoning + action)

Low complexity: 7 frameworks including RTF (quick tasks), BAB (transformation tasks), APE (automatic prompt engineering)

Workflow — 5-Stage Pipeline

1. Analyze — score the prompt across 5 dimensions, 1–10 each
2. Recommend — propose the best framework with reasoning
3. Dialogue — ask 3–5 clarifying questions
4. Apply — rewrite with the chosen framework
5. Iterate — refine until satisfied
