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
