Overview

About This Skill

https://prose.md

How to Use

["Install Prose CLI: `npm install -g prose-cli`","Create a new script file: `prose new server_monitor.prose`","Edit the script to include your specific logic using the Prose syntax (import tools, define functions, set loops)","Test locally: `prose run server_monitor.prose --dry-run`","Deploy to production: `prose deploy server_monitor.prose --schedule \"*/5 * * * *\"`","Monitor execution: `prose logs server_monitor`\n\nTips:\n- Start with simple scripts and gradually add complexity\n- Use Prose's built-in logging for debugging\n- Leverage existing libraries (http, json, os) before writing custom code\n- Set appropriate timeouts for long-running operations","For complex workflows, break them into smaller Prose functions and compose them together"]

Use Cases

Automate research tasks by querying multiple sources and compiling findings into a structured report.

Streamline content creation by integrating AI writing agents that refine drafts based on research data.

Facilitate competitive analysis by running parallel sessions that gather and analyze market data.

Implement error handling and retry mechanisms in workflows to ensure robustness in automation tasks.

Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Write a Prose script to [TASK]. Use [TOOLS/APIS] for [FUNCTIONALITY]. Include error handling for [SPECIFIC_ERRORS]. The script should run for [DURATION] and output results to [OUTPUT_DESTINATION].

Example Output

```prose
// Prose script to monitor server health and auto-scale based on CPU load
// Runs every 5 minutes for 24 hours, logs to /var/log/server_monitor.log

import http, json, os

const MAX_CPU = 80
const MIN_CPU = 30
const SCALING_FACTOR = 0.5

fn check_cpu() {
  let response = http.get("http://localhost:9100/metrics")
  if response.status != 200 {
    log.error("Failed to fetch metrics")
    return null
  }
  let metrics = json.parse(response.body)
  return metrics.cpu_usage
}

fn scale_servers(target_cpu) {
  let current = check_cpu()
  if current == null return

  if target_cpu > MAX_CPU {
    let new_servers = Math.ceil((target_cpu - MAX_CPU) / SCALING_FACTOR)
    log.info(`Scaling up by ${new_servers} servers`)
    os.system(`aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-123456 --count ${new_servers} --instance-type t3.medium`)
  } else if target_cpu < MIN_CPU {
    let remove_servers = Math.ceil((MIN_CPU - target_cpu) / SCALING_FACTOR)
    log.info(`Scaling down by ${remove_servers} servers`)
    os.system(`aws ec2 terminate-instances --instance-ids $(aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=tag:Name,Values=web-server" --query "Reservations[].Instances[].InstanceId" --output text | head -${remove_servers})`)
  }
}

for 24 hours every 5 minutes {
  let cpu = check_cpu()
  if cpu != null {
    scale_servers(cpu)
    log.info(`CPU at ${cpu}%, current servers: ${os.system("aws ec2 describe-instances --filters 'Name=tag:Name,Values=web-server' --query 'length(Reservations[].Instances[])'").trim()}`)
  }
}
```
