Policy sensitive
Human review

PROMPT

EXPECTED OUTPUT

Format: plain_text

SUCCESS CRITERIA

Create a prompt for auditing password configuration files on Linux and Unix systems

FAILURE MODES

Vague phrasing may lead to off-topic or incomplete prompts
Typos like 'configuartion' may cause misinterpretation of the target file

CAVEATS

Missing context

Specific configuration files to audit
Password policy parameters to check (e.g., min length, aging, hashing algorithm)
Intended use of the prompt (e.g., for LLM, auditor checklist, automation script)
Desired output format for the created prompt

Ambiguities

Misspelled 'configuartion' (likely 'configuration')
Unclear what kind of 'prompt' is desired (e.g., AI prompt, checklist, script template)
Vague scope: 'password configuration file' – which files? (e.g., /etc/login.defs, /etc/pam.d/)
'linux & unix' is broad; no distinction between Linux distros or Unix variants

IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS

Correct typos: 'Create a prompt for auditing the password configuration files (e.g., /etc/login.defs, /etc/pam.d/common-password) on Linux and Unix systems.'
Specify checks: 'Include verification of parameters like PASS_MAX_DAYS, PASSWORD_MINLEN, sha512 hashing, etc.'
Clarify type: 'Create a detailed AI prompt that guides an auditor or LLM through checking...'
Add structure: 'The prompt should output a report with pass/fail status for each check.'

USAGE

Copy the prompt above and paste it into your AI of choice — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or anywhere else you're working. Replace any placeholder sections with your own context, then ask for the output.
