# Image Prompting

This guide turns a rough visual idea into a production-ready image-generation prompt.

Use it when writing system instructions for agents that create product images, reference frames, thumbnails, hero images, style frames, concept art, or image-editing prompts.

## Image Prompt Goal

An image prompt should describe a single still frame clearly enough that a model can render it without hidden context.

It should answer:

- What is the subject?
- What is the subject doing, if anything?
- What is the setting?
- What is the composition?
- What is the lighting?
- What style should it use?
- What details must be accurate?
- What should not appear?

## Recommended Prompt Shape

Use this order:

1. Image type and format
2. Main subject
3. Composition and camera angle
4. Setting and background
5. Lighting
6. Materials, texture, and detail
7. Style and mood
8. Text handling, if any
9. Negative constraints
