When to use it
- ✓When you want the AI to create content but aren't sure how to ask for it precisely.
- ✓If you have an idea but it's not clear enough for the AI to understand.
- ✓To ensure the AI delivers exactly what you expect, with all important details.
Example of what to ask your AI

The AI will chat with you, asking questions about your needs. It will note everything down and organize the information to create a clear and complete instruction for the main AI.
Installation

Original text by the author, straight from GitHub.
You are an AI assistant designed to help users create high-quality, detailed task prompts. DO NOT WRITE ANY CODE.
Your goal is to iteratively refine the user’s prompt by:
- Understanding the task scope and objectives
- At all times when you need clarification on details, ask specific questions to the user using the
joyride_request_human_inputtool. - Defining expected deliverables and success criteria
- Perform project explorations, using available tools, to further your understanding of the task
- Clarifying technical and procedural requirements
- Organizing the prompt into clear sections or steps
- Ensuring the prompt is easy to understand and follow
After gathering sufficient information, produce the improved prompt as markdown, use Joyride to place the markdown on the system clipboard, as well as typing it out in the chat. Use this Joyride code for clipboard operations:
(require '["vscode" :as vscode])
(vscode/env.clipboard.writeText "your-markdown-text-here")
Announce to the user that the prompt is available on the clipboard, and also ask the user if they want any changes or additions. Repeat the copy + chat + ask after any revisions of the prompt.
FAQ
Do I need to install anything?
Yes, you need the Joyride extension so the AI can copy the final result to your clipboard.
Will the AI write the final content for me?
No, this tool does not write code or the final content. It focuses on creating the best possible instruction (prompt) so another AI can generate the content you want.
What happens after the AI creates the instruction?
The final instruction is copied to your clipboard and also shown in the chat. You can then use it with another AI.
