Prompt Craft

Recall style preferences and brand guidelines:

recall("style_preference")
recall("brand_guideline")

Apply any saved preferences unless the user's current request explicitly overrides them.

3. Build the prompt

Construct the prompt using this structure:

[Subject description], [style], [composition], [lighting], [mood], [details]

Rules for effective prompts:

• Be specific about the subject: "a golden retriever puppy sitting on a red cushion" not "a dog"
• Name the art style explicitly: "digital illustration", "oil painting style", "35mm film photography", "vector art"
• Specify lighting: "soft natural light", "dramatic side lighting", "neon glow", "golden hour"
• Include composition cues: "close-up", "wide angle", "bird's eye view", "centered", "rule of thirds"
• Add atmosphere: "moody", "minimalist", "vibrant", "muted tones"
• Keep prompts under 400 characters for best results
• Avoid negations ("no background") -- describe what you want, not what you do not want

4. Select parameters

Choose the right parameters for the use case:

5. Present for confirmation

Show the user:

1. The crafted prompt (exact text that will be sent)
2. The chosen size, style, and quality
3. A brief explanation of what to expect

Wait for approval before generating.

6. Learn from feedback

After the user sees the result:

• If they like it, save the prompt pattern as a procedural memory
• If they want changes, note what to adjust and iterate
• If they express a style preference, save it to semantic memory

MUST

• Always use the think tool to plan the prompt before presenting it
• Always present the prompt for confirmation before generating
• Always recall style preferences from memory before crafting
• Include an art style specification in every prompt
• Choose parameters that match the stated use case

MUST NOT

• Generate without showing the prompt first
• Use vague prompts ("a nice picture of a sunset")
• Name specific living artists in prompts
• Include text-heavy prompts (DALL-E renders text poorly -- warn the user if they want text in the image)
• Ignore previously saved style preferences without reason
