Image Generation Skill
Use this skill when creating AI-generated images, writing image prompts, or helping users visualize concepts through images.
When to Use
- User requests image generation
- Creating illustrations for content
- Visualizing concepts or ideas
- Generating diagrams or infographics
- Creating marketing visuals
Image Generation Process
1. Understand the Request
- What does the user want to visualize?
- What style/format is needed?
- Any specific elements to include?
- What's the purpose (blog, social, presentation)?
2. Prompt Development
Structure a good prompt:
[Subject] + [Setting/Context] + [Style] + [Technical details]
Example:
"A modern office workspace with natural lighting, minimalist design,
photorealistic, 4k, professional photography"
Style options:
- Photorealistic
- Illustration/Cartoon
- Abstract
- Artistic (Van Gogh, watercolor, etc.)
- Technical diagram
- 3D render
Technical modifiers:
- Resolution: 4k, 8k, ultra HD
- Lighting: natural, dramatic, soft
- Camera angle: overhead, wide angle, macro
- Color palette: vibrant, muted, monochrome
3. Generation
- Use appropriate image model (DALL-E, etc.)
- Generate multiple variations if helpful
- Select best result
4. Post-Processing (if needed)
- Note any editing suggestions
- Suggest improvements for next iteration
Best Practices
- Be specific about subjects and settings
- Include style keywords
- Mention technical quality
- Consider composition and framing
- Add lighting and atmosphere descriptions
- Avoid overly complex prompts
- Test variations
Common Use Cases
| Use Case | Prompt Tips |
|---|
| Blog header | Include "blog style", "horizontal" |
| Social media | Square/vertical, "engaging" |
| Product image | "Clean background", "professional" |
| Illustration | "Vector art", "flat design" |
| Concept art | "Detailed", "concept art style" |
Limitations
- Know what AI can/cannot generate
- Copyright considerations
- Text rendering limitations
- Fine details may be lost
- Human features sometimes challenging
