Generating Something You Can Actually Ship
Keeping generated assets usable in commercial work, and the metadata that proves it.
What it is for
Generated assets are only useful commercially if you can still show where they came from later. This covers keeping the output usable in paid work and keeping the metadata that answers the question when a client asks it.
The skill
Firefly's selling point is that its training data is licensed. That only helps you if the asset stays traceable. Before generating: - Do not upload a reference image you do not have rights to. A generated image derived from someone else's photograph inherits the problem, whatever the generator's own licence says. - Do not prompt with a living artist's name, a brand, or a character. The model may comply, and compliance is the problem. After generating: - **Keep the Content Credentials.** They are the record of how the asset was made, and they are what you show if it is ever questioned. Exporting through a tool that strips metadata destroys them silently — check the exported file, not the export dialog. - Keep the prompt with the asset. Six months later "where did this come from" is answerable only if you wrote it down. For anything that will carry a brand: generate the base, then composite and colour-correct in a real editor. A fully generated final asset is harder to adjust when the brand guidelines change, and they always change.
How to install it
1. Open the tool and start a new conversation, project or template. 2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona. 3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
