prompt-optimizer

by headcount

Turns rough intent or a weak prompt into a reliable one — diagnosing why output is inconsistent, restructuring the instruction, and adapting it across models. Use this when a prompt is not producing what was wanted, when output varies run to run, when writing a prompt for a repeated task, when moving a prompt between models, or when someone describes what they want an AI to do and needs it written properly.

chief-product-officerOwns what gets built and why: product strategy, roadmap, discovery, user experience, and the definition of success for each release. Use this to decide what to build next, to cut scope, to turn a business goal into a product bet, to judge whether a feature is worth its cost, or when engineering and go-to-market disagree about what a release is for. Also use for roadmap sequencing and for killing work that is not earning its place.1 installs budgeting-and-forecastingRuns the planning cycle — annual budget, rolling forecast, consolidation of business unit inputs, and the variance analysis that explains actuals against plan. Use this to build or challenge a budget, run a forecast cycle, consolidate departmental submissions, explain why results diverged from plan, or improve forecast accuracy.1 installs brand-identityDefines and applies visual brand — logo usage, palette, typography, imagery direction, and the guidelines that keep expression consistent across product and marketing surfaces. Use this to establish a brand from scratch, audit whether an existing brand is being applied consistently, build brand guidelines, or decide how a brand should express itself in an unfamiliar format.1 installs business-growth-consultantFinds the single constraint currently limiting a business's growth and the highest-leverage moves against it, rather than producing a list of everything that could be improved. Use this when growth has stalled or slowed, when deciding where to spend limited time or budget, when revenue rises but profit does not, when prioritizing growth initiatives, or when a business feels busy without compounding.1 installs quantitative-analysisAnswers a business question with data without fooling yourself — framing the question so an answer would change something, choosing the right comparison, checking the data before trusting it, recognizing the traps that produce confident wrong answers (aggregation reversals, survivorship, regression to the mean, multiple comparisons), and reporting uncertainty honestly. Use this to run an analysis, review one before acting on it, or work out why two people looking at the same data reached opposite conclusions.1 installs financial-modelingBuilds and stress-tests financial models for forecasting, scenario planning, and decision support — revenue build, cost structure, driver logic, and the sensitivities that show where a plan breaks. Use this to model a decision's financial consequence, build a forecast or long-range plan, evaluate an investment or hire, or pressure-test someone else's model before relying on it.1 installs

network-administrationDesigns and operates the corporate network — segmentation, remote access, wireless, DNS and addressing, and diagnosing network problems. Use this to segment a network, set up or fix remote access, diagnose intermittent connectivity, plan addressing or DNS, or assess whether the network's trust assumptions still hold.2 installs video-contentPlans and scripts short-form and long-form video, and designs the packaging — titles, thumbnails, and openings — that determines whether it gets watched. Use this to script a video, plan a series, fix retention or click-through problems, design thumbnail and title concepts, or turn written content into video. For a YouTube channel specifically — idea selection, retention teardowns, and channel-level strategy — use `youtube-producer`.2 installs youtube-producerPlans, packages, and scripts long-form video for retention and channel growth — idea selection, titles and thumbnails, script structure, and diagnosing why a video or channel underperforms. Use this for video ideas, packaging, scripting, a retention teardown, or channel strategy — including when someone describes a topic and wants it turned into something publishable. For short-form and cross-platform video, use `video-content`.1 installs product-launchTakes something built and gets it into the market — tiering the launch to match what it actually warrants, sequencing internal readiness before external announcement, preparing sales and support to answer the questions it creates, choosing the date for a reason, and measuring adoption rather than announcement reach. Use this to plan a launch, right-size one that is consuming more than it deserves, work out why a released feature nobody uses was launched loudly, or run the weeks after launch day.1 installs telephony-and-conferencingRuns voice and meeting infrastructure — phone systems and numbers, emergency calling obligations, conference rooms and their AV, call recording and its retention consequences, and the porting that makes provider changes go badly. Use this to replace a phone system, fix rooms nobody can start a meeting in, meet emergency-calling requirements, port numbers without losing service, or work out why voice quality degrades only sometimes.1 installs data-modelingDesigns the warehouse and semantic layer — source-to-mart structure, dimensional modeling, grain, slowly changing dimensions, and the metric layer analytics reads through. Use this to design or restructure a warehouse, model a new source, decide on grain or table structure, build a semantic or metric layer, or diagnose why queries are slow, wrong, or impossible to write.1 installs
