Can this skill help reduce my API costs?

Yes, it includes specific strategies for token optimization and prompt caching that can save up to 90% on repeated context and reduce unnecessary reasoning overhead.

How does the Engineering Prompts skill improve Claude's performance?

It applies a systematic methodology that includes clarity, context, and positive framing, along with advanced techniques like Chain of Thought for complex reasoning tasks.

What is the 'progressive disclosure' approach mentioned in the skill?

It involves starting with minimal, foundational prompt structures and only adding advanced techniques when the complexity of the task requires them, avoiding over-engineering.

When should I use XML structure in my prompts?

XML tags are recommended for separating sections in complex prompts or when dealing with long context to improve Claude's ability to distinguish between instructions and data.
