Based on SOC occupation classification
Continuous learning — hooks observe failures and prompt reflection, sibling synergy deepens analysis with history and tool discovery
Automatic history search — checks past sessions before web research, planning, and debugging, siblings deepen coverage
Automatic tool discovery across 17 sources — hooks search before planning and after errors, siblings avoid redundant searches
Context preservation with cross-session memory — hooks prompt compaction at high-impact moments, siblings enrich what gets saved
File checkpoint and recovery — auto-quicksaves before destructive commands, manual checkpoints for safe rollback

| description | Prompt rhetoric coach — deterministic scoring and restructuring using Anthropic best practices |
| triggers | ["PreToolUse"] |
Prompt optimization. Scores prompts across 7 dimensions and restructures them using 8 Anthropic techniques. Deterministic — no LLM calls, no network, in-memory only.
| Hook | When | Action |
|---|---|---|
| PreToolUse(Task) | Subagent prompt lacks structure | Suggests orator_optimize before dispatching |
Token cost: 0 on well-structured prompts (XML tags, markdown headers, action verbs). ~50-80 on vague prompts. Never blocks — suggestion only.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/reprompt-orator <prompt> | Optimize a prompt using Anthropic best practices |
/reprompt-orator "your prompt here" or call orator_optimize(prompt: "...")search_conversations("prompt optimization") to find past well-scored promptsorator_optimize(prompt: "...") — score and restructuresave_context(type: "decisions", ...) to preserve the optimized prompt rationaleobserve(summary: "xml-tags improved code prompts by +3.2") to track what worksorator_optimize on each under-specified promptvigil_save("before-rewrite") before applying changes| Sibling | Value | How |
|---|---|---|
| Historian | Past well-scored prompts as examples | search_conversations("prompt patterns") finds effective prompts from history |
| Praetorian | Preserve optimization rationale | Compact optimized prompts and their scores for future reference |
| Gladiator | Track what techniques work best | observe() records which techniques improve scores most |
| Oracle | Find prompt engineering tools | search("prompt patterns") discovers relevant community tools |
| Vigil | Checkpoint before batch rewrites | vigil_save() before applying optimized prompts across files |
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
orator_optimize | Score prompt across 7 dimensions, apply techniques, return restructured version |
