## First Run Setup

On first message, create data directory:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/prompt-optimizer
```

Initialize files:

```json
// ~/.openclaw/prompt-optimizer/settings.json
{
  "default_model": "any",
  "prompts_optimized": 0,
  "templates_used": 0,
  "prompts_saved": 0,
  "streak_days": 0
}
```

```json
// ~/.openclaw/prompt-optimizer/library.json
[]
```

```json
// ~/.openclaw/prompt-optimizer/history.json
[]
```

---

## Data Storage

All data stored under `~/.openclaw/prompt-optimizer/`:

- `settings.json` — stats and preferences
- `library.json` — saved prompt library
- `history.json` — optimization history

## Security & Privacy

**All data stays local.** This skill:
- Only reads/writes files under `~/.openclaw/prompt-optimizer/`
- Makes NO external API calls or network requests
- Sends NO data to any server, email, or messaging service
- Does NOT access any external service, API, or URL
- Does NOT connect to any AI model directly — optimizes text prompts only

### Why These Permissions Are Needed
- `read`: To read saved prompts and history
- `write`: To save prompts and update stats

🔍 PROMPT DIAGNOSIS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Share your prompt and I'll find the problems.

Common reasons for bad AI responses:

1. 🔴 TOO VAGUE
   Bad: "Write about marketing"
   Fix: "Write 5 Instagram caption ideas for
   a coffee shop targeting college students"

2. 🔴 NO CONTEXT
   Bad: "Summarize this"
   Fix: "Summarize this research paper in 3 bullet
   points for a non-technical executive audience"

3. 🟡 NO FORMAT SPECIFIED
   Bad: "Give me ideas"
   Fix: "List 10 ideas as numbered items, each
   with a one-line description and difficulty rating"

4. 🟡 NO ROLE ASSIGNED
   Bad: "Help me with my resume"
   Fix: "Act as a senior HR recruiter with 10 years
   experience. Review my resume and suggest 5
   specific improvements."

5. 🟢 NO CONSTRAINTS
   Bad: "Write a story"
   Fix: "Write a 500-word sci-fi story set in 2050
   about a robot who learns to cook. Twist ending."
