surreal-chess-editorial-portrait

name	surreal-chess-editorial-portrait
description	This prompt instructs an image-generation model to create an ultra-realistic, vertical high-fashion editorial portrait that closely matches the uploaded person’s facial identity and hair while placing them in a dark, cinematic studio with a black-and-cream checkerboard set and oversized glossy chess pieces in a specified accent color. It defines the wardrobe, pose, camera viewpoint, lighting, and photorealistic finishing details to achieve a surreal chess-themed scene, and includes constraints to prevent identity drift, incorrect colors, anatomical errors, or non-photographic styles, resulting in a sharp, recognizable, high-resolution portrait of the same subject surrounded by dramatic chess elements.

What it does

This prompt instructs an image-generation model to create an ultra-realistic, vertical high-fashion editorial portrait that closely matches the uploaded person’s facial identity and hair while placing them in a dark, cinematic studio with a black-and-cream checkerboard set and oversized glossy chess pieces in a specified accent color. It defines the wardrobe, pose, camera viewpoint, lighting, and photorealistic finishing details to achieve a surreal chess-themed scene, and includes constraints to prevent identity drift, incorrect colors, anatomical errors, or non-photographic styles, resulting in a sharp, recognizable, high-resolution portrait of the same subject surrounded by dramatic chess elements.

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.

Variable key	Required?	Description	Defaults
chess_piece_color_	Required		(none)

imageInputs

This prompt requires exactly 1 image. You must pass exactly 1 image flag (no more, no fewer), in the order matching the descriptions below.

Index	Required	Description	Allowed CLI flags
1	Yes	Your photo	--image-input-url <url> or --image-input-path <path>

Models and options

This skill's modality is: image.

To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "image".

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "image" to discover valid models and available options:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

• Required text inputs:
  • chess_piece_color_
• Required images:
  • Exactly 1 images: image 1 (Your photo). Images must be provided in this order.
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model gemini-3-pro-image-preview and its available options. Look up gemini-3-pro-image-preview in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "image") and show its availableOptions as: key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value (default) if it matches these defaults: {"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}.
  • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model gemini-3-pro-image-preview, options {"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If any required text input or the required images are missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values. Tell the human: "Please provide images in this order: image 1 (Your photo)".

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use surreal-chess-editorial-portrait).

Command form:

betterprompt generate surreal-chess-editorial-portrait \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--image-input-url <url>] \
  [--image-input-path <path>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• Pass each text input as a separate --input <key>=<value> flag.
• Pass each image using --image-input-url or --image-input-path, in the order matching the imageInputs descriptions (image 1 first, then image 2, etc.).
• If the human does not mention a model, omit --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: gemini-3-pro-image-preview.
• If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}.
• If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate surreal-chess-editorial-portrait \
  --input chess_piece_color_=<value> \
  --image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
  --model gemini-3-pro-image-preview \
  --options '{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}'
