Code Tools

Tools designed for developers and AI power users. Optimize your prompts and improve AI interactions.

Improve This Prompt

prompt_optimization

Transform basic prompts into highly effective ones that produce better, more consistent results from AI models. This tool applies prompt engineering best practices:

  • Clear instructions - Removes ambiguity and adds specificity
  • Structure - Organizes prompts for better comprehension
  • Context setting - Adds relevant background information
  • Output formatting - Specifies desired response format
  • Examples - Suggests few-shot examples when helpful

Example Transformation

Original Prompt

Write a function to sort an array

Improved Prompt

You are an expert software engineer. Write a JavaScript function that:

1. Takes an array of numbers as input
2. Sorts them in ascending order using an efficient algorithm
3. Returns the sorted array without modifying the original

Requirements:
- Use modern ES6+ syntax
- Include JSDoc comments explaining the function
- Handle edge cases (empty array, single element)
- Optimize for time complexity

Please provide the implementation with a brief explanation of the algorithm choice.

When to Use

Use this tool before running prompts in ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI assistants. Better prompts = better results, often on the first try.

Prompt Engineering Techniques

The tool applies several proven techniques:

Role Assignment

Assigns a specific role or persona to the AI (e.g., "You are an expert...") to improve response quality and consistency.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Breaks complex tasks into numbered steps that the AI can follow sequentially, reducing errors and improving completeness.

Output Specification

Explicitly defines the expected format, length, and structure of the response to get exactly what you need.

Constraint Setting

Adds guardrails and limitations to focus the AI and prevent unwanted tangents or behaviors.

Model Routing for Code Tasks

ARKAbrain routes prompt optimization tasks based on complexity:

Pro Plan Advantage

Pro plan users get access to the REASONING role with o1 Mini for complex prompts. Starter users get BALANCED routing which still produces excellent results.
