Orator Plugin
Prompt optimization. Scores prompts across 7 dimensions and restructures them using 8 Anthropic techniques. Deterministic — no LLM calls, no network, in-memory only.
Hooks
| 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.
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/reprompt-orator <prompt> |
Optimize a prompt using Anthropic best practices |
Workflows
Optimize (standalone)
/reprompt-orator "your prompt here"or callorator_optimize(prompt: "...")- Review score breakdown (7 dimensions, 1-10 each)
- Use the restructured prompt with applied techniques
Optimize (with siblings)
- If historian active:
search_conversations("prompt optimization")to find past well-scored prompts orator_optimize(prompt: "...")— score and restructure- If praetorian active:
save_context(type: "decisions", ...)to preserve the optimized prompt rationale - If gladiator active:
observe(summary: "xml-tags improved code prompts by +3.2")to track what works
Batch review
- Review subagent prompts across a session
orator_optimizeon each under-specified prompt- If vigil active:
vigil_save("before-rewrite")before applying changes - Apply restructured prompts
Sibling Synergy
| 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 |
MCP Tools Reference
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
orator_optimize |
Score prompt across 7 dimensions, apply techniques, return restructured version |
Scoring Dimensions
Clarity · Specificity · Structure · Context · Examples · Constraints · Tone (each 1-10)
Techniques
System prompts · XML tags · Chain of thought · Few-shot · Prefill · Long context · Extended thinking · Tool use
Storage
In-memory only. Zero disk storage. No databases, no external services.

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
claude-vigil
File checkpoint and recovery — auto-quicksaves before destructive commands, manual checkpoints for safe rollback
claude-historian
Automatic history search — checks past sessions before web research, planning, and debugging, siblings deepen coverage
claude-oracle
Automatic tool discovery across 17 sources — hooks search before planning and after errors, siblings avoid redundant searches
claude-praetorian
Context preservation with cross-session memory — hooks prompt compaction at high-impact moments, siblings enrich what gets saved
claude-gladiator
Continuous learning — hooks observe failures and prompt reflection, sibling synergy deepens analysis with history and tool discovery
verl-rl-training
Provides guidance for training LLMs with reinforcement learning using verl (Volcano Engine RL). Use when implementing RLHF, GRPO, PPO, or other RL algorithms for LLM post-training at scale with flexible infrastructure backends.
