what do people make with this?

VIBE 1

Turn a one line request into a detailed, well structured prompt automatically before an AI coding tool acts on it.

VIBE 2

Install a toggleable plugin so casual prompting gets upgraded only when you want it.

VIBE 3

Create custom rewriting personas for domains like mobile or data engineering using the built in generator.

in plain english

Inverter is a tool for people who use AI coding assistants but type quick, rough instructions instead of detailed ones. It plugs into Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex CLI and rewrites a short, casual prompt into a much more precise and structured instruction before the AI acts on it. The idea is that a vague request like "fix the login page" gets turned into a detailed engineering directive that specifies the right area of expertise, such as security, frontend, backend, SEO, UX, or DevOps, so the AI has clearer guidance to work from. It is available in two forms for each supported tool: as an installable plugin that can be turned on and off, or as a standalone skill that only activates when you call it directly. Both forms come from one shared specification file, so the underlying behavior stays consistent no matter which way you install it. Once running, a user can type "/inverter" to switch into this enhanced mode, and "stop inverter" to return to normal behavior. The project also supports custom personas beyond the built in set. Using a small terminal script, a user answers three questions, such as a title and area of focus, and the tool generates a new persona file automatically, which can then be enabled without changing any of the core code. This makes it possible to add specialized rewriting styles for other domains, like data engineering or mobile development, over time. Inverter includes a control command called "go" for confirming and running actions that were paused because they are considered risky or destructive, giving the user a chance to review before anything is executed.

prompts (copy fr)

prompt 1

Install Inverter as a Claude Code plugin and show me how to toggle it on and off.

prompt 2

Use Inverter to rewrite this rough prompt into a detailed backend engineering directive: fix the login bug.

prompt 3

Walk me through creating a custom persona for Inverter using the terminal persona manager.

prompt 4

Explain the difference between installing Inverter as a plugin versus as a standalone skill.
