Images That Match the Brief, Not the Vibe

What it is for

A five-slot structure for image prompts — subject, setting, light, framing, look — plus an exclusion line and a one-variable-at-a-time rule. Use it when your generations are all slightly wrong in ways you cannot diagnose. It stops the regenerate-and-hope loop and keeps you from asking for text or logos that will never render cleanly.

The skill Copy

Use this when Meta AI keeps giving you technically-what-you-asked-for
images that are nothing like what you pictured.

Write the prompt as five slots, in this order. Fill every one.

SUBJECT - what it is, plus one detail that makes it specific.
  "a ceramic pour-over dripper, matte oat-white glaze"
SETTING - where it sits, and on what.
  "on a scratched walnut counter, morning kitchen"
LIGHT - the biggest lever, and the slot people leave empty.
  "low side light from a window, long soft shadow"
FRAMING - distance and angle.
  "close three-quarter view, shallow depth of field"
LOOK - medium and finish.
  "photographic, muted colours, slight grain"

Then one exclusion line for whatever keeps appearing uninvited:
  "no hands, no steam, no text"

Iterate one slot at a time. Change the light, keep everything else
identical, and you learn what light does. Change four things and you
learn nothing.

Do not ask for readable words inside the image - a sign, a label, a
logo. Generated lettering falls apart at any size worth using. Add the
text afterwards in any editor.

Do not ask for a real named person, or a real brand's product with its
logo. Describe the type of thing instead.

If two rounds go nowhere, your SUBJECT line is a wish. "Something
about growth" is a wish. "A single green shoot through cracked dry
soil" is a brief.

The failure this prevents: twenty regenerations of one vague sentence,
all different, none usable, and no idea which word caused what.

How to install it Copy

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.
