# Prompt Engineering Skill

## Overview
The `prompt-engineering` skill establishes a disciplined approach to LLM instruction design within the KILO-KIT ecosystem. Moving beyond ad-hoc prompting, this skill treats prompts as first-class code, emphasizing contract-based structures, declarative signatures, and rigorous validation loops to ensure reproducible, high-quality AI behavior.

## When To Use
- When developing new LLM-powered features or agents.
- When existing prompts produce inconsistent, fragile, or hallucinated outputs.
- When implementing complex reasoning tasks that require strict output formatting.
- When you need to scale prompt maintenance across a team or large codebase.
- When setting up automated prompt optimization or regression testing pipelines.
