# Rule 04: Prompt Checklist (6 Elements)

> **Savings: ~50%** | Eliminates "missing piece" regeneration loops.

## The Problem

Image/video prompts are missing crucial elements → user can't use them directly → must ask "what about X?" → regeneration → wasted rounds.

## The 6-Element Self-Check

Before outputting ANY image/video prompt, verify ALL 6:

| # | Element | Self-Check Question |
|---|---------|-------------------|
| 1 | Positive prompt | Can the user copy-paste this directly? |
| 2 | Negative prompt | Are position/color/composition constraints included? |
| 3 | Reference images | Are paths absolute and verified with `ls`? |
| 4 | Expected output | Can the user judge results without seeing the image? |
| 5 | Model settings | Does the user know which tool and settings to use? |
| 6 | Save filename | Does the user know what to name the output file? |
