Bad idea to use agents for prompts. I find them very very noisy and bloated.

In theory, I'd agree. That said, I do suggest being open minded here.

Sharing this because I got genuine value out of it. Not just a "cool hype demo".

The key here is: 1. Prompt is created using the context from from a long conversation with the CLI. 2. You use the generate prompt as a "v1" and MANUALLY edit it. 3. I'm constantly iterating on my prompt writer.
