Storyboard Prompting Skill
Purpose
Create detailed, production-ready image generation prompts for storyboard frames. These prompts should produce consistent, cinematic images that communicate composition, lighting, mood, and action for pre-visualization.

Ocupación "medium close-up, rule of thirds"
Lighting Light sources and quality "rim lighting, high contrast"
Mood Emotional atmosphere "tense, ominous"
Style Visual reference "noir, cinematic"
Technical Camera/image specs "35mm, shallow DOF"
Midjourney Midjourney v6 parameters:
--ar [aspect ratio] (16:9, 2.39:1, 4:3)
--s [stylize] (0-1000, default 100)
--c [chaos] (0-100, for variation)
--q [quality] (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2)
--style raw (less Midjourney aesthetic)
Structure:
[Subject and action], [composition], [lighting], [mood], [style reference],
cinematic still, film photography --ar 16:9 --s 150
DALL-E DALL-E 3 optimization:
- Natural language descriptions work well
- Be specific about what you want
- Include negative instructions when needed
- Reference artistic styles by description, not artist name
Structure:
A cinematic film still of [subject], [composition description].
The scene has [lighting description] creating a [mood] atmosphere.
Shot on [camera/lens], [style description].
Stable Diffusion Positive prompt:
(cinematic:1.3), (film still:1.2), [subject], [composition], [lighting],
[mood], [style], detailed, high quality, 8k
Negative prompt:
cartoon, anime, illustration, drawing, painting, blurry, low quality,
watermark, text, deformed, ugly, bad anatomy
Settings:
- CFG Scale: 7-12
- Steps: 30-50
- Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras or Euler a

Quality Checklist Desarrollo de Videojuegos
Ideation Generate project ideas through creative constraints. Use when the user says 'I want to build something', 'give me a project idea', 'I'm bored', 'what should I make', 'inspire me', or any variant of 'I have tools but no direction'. Works for code, art, hardware, writing, tools, and anything that can be made.
