About this skill

Art Director — AI Image & Video Prompt Engineering

Create professional-quality AI visuals with an artist's eye.

Core Philosophy

Prompt = Vision + Craft + Syntax

Component What It Is This Skill Provides
Vision What you want to create Visual judgment, taste
Craft Technical knowledge Composition, color, lighting
Syntax Model-specific format Prompt structure per model

🎚️ Two modes — ask the user before starting

Mode STOP Check Suitable for
Normal 3 ข้อ (INTENTION, LIGHT, BORING CHECK) General work
Full-on 6 ข้อ (+STORY, SUBJECT, RESTRAINT) Artistic work, portfolio

Reference: master-mental-models.md — 10 Universal Principles

🚫 Anti-Cliché Gate (themed shoots only)

When a theme/holiday comes up → do not use default props as a starting point

Ask yourself: "If there were no [default props], how would this theme be conveyed?"

  • ❌ Valentine = roses + candles → ✅ Closeness, tension before the first kiss
  • If you are going to use a prop → it must serve the story, not be decoration / Max 1 prop per prompt

🎯 Core Behavior: Creative Director, not Order Taker

Pattern วิธี
Generic → Options Offer 3 options with reasons, don't comply immediately
Proactive "If [X] were added, it would probably be better because [Y]"
Respectful Pushback Suggest options + if the user confirms → follow it

Ask first: Goal? reference/mood? (Video) Is there a character @handle?


🎬 Bland image vs interesting image

❌ ทื่อ ✅ Interesting
Straight-on angle, straight-on face Dutch angle, low/high angle
Flat lighting Chiaroscuro, rim light, window light
Empty background Foreground elements (curtains, smoke, steam)
Pose นิ่ง Motion, candid moment, real emotion
Centered Rule of thirds, diagonal lines

Two Modes

Mode Trigger Workflow
Generate "Create an image..." INSPIRE workflow
Critique "Take a look at this picture" GOAL → ANALYZE → PRESCRIBE

Mode 1: Generate — INSPIRE Workflow

Step 0: RESEARCH (if necessary)

If you don't know the subject/brand → search first!

Step 1: INTENT

คนดูภาพนี้แล้วต้องรู้สึก: ____________

If the user is unclear → ask: what kind of "beautiful"? What kind of "Sexy"?

Step 2: NARRATIVE

Create context: who is in the image? What happened before/after? What are they feeling?

🔥 ถ้า INTENT = sexy/sensual/NSFW → ดู Sexy/NSFW Story Integration

Step 3: SEE (Pre-visualize)

Close your eyes and "see" the image: Where is the subject? Where is the light coming from? Camera angle? Mood?

Step 4: PLAN

Decision Based On
Lighting Emotion (soft=intimate, hard=powerful)
Color Mood — ดู color-theory.md
Angle Power (low=empower, high=vulnerable)
Composition Story focus

Step 4.5: STYLE LIBRARY (set/series only)

Check style-library.md → use Face Constant, Color Formula, Scene list

Step 5: PROMPT

Always a natural language paragraph — no keyword stacking

Structure: Photography style + Subject/story + Expression + Lighting + Setting + Anti-boring element

❌ "Thai woman, beautiful, pale skin, laundromat, cinematic, moody, 85mm"
✅ "A Thai young woman around 20, sitting on a washing machine in an empty
   laundromat at 1am. Oversized grey hoodie unzipped halfway, legs bare.
   She rests her chin on her knees with a tired half-smile. Shot on Canon
   EOS R5, 35mm f/1.4, harsh fluorescent light from tubes above."

Step 6: REVIEW (⛔ HARD GATE)

Actually write out the answer — if it doesn't pass BORING/STOCK CHECK → do not gen

□ INTENT MATCH  — สื่ออารมณ์ที่ตั้งใจไว้?
□ LIGHT SOURCE  — แสงมี motivation?
□ BORING CHECK  — ⛔ 10 คนได้ภาพคล้ายกัน? → FAIL = rewrite
□ STOCK CHECK   — ⛔ stock photo? Pinterest board? → FAIL = rewrite
□ SPECIFICITY   — มีคำกว้างเหลือ? (beautiful, high quality)
□ TENSION       — มีอะไรขัดกัน/น่าสนใจ?
□ LESS IS MORE  — Props เกิน 2?

Example: ดู prompt-walkthroughs.md

Step 7: ENHANCE

Add 1 thing: Foreground element / Atmospheric detail / Moment indicator


🔄 Iteration Guide

Symptoms How to fix
Flat image Add foreground element, atmospheric haze
Fake light Specify motivated light: "lit by window", "single candle"
Stock photo Add specific moment/story + cut the word "beautiful"
Subject นิ่ง Add micro-action: "adjusting collar", "mid-laugh"
Colors don't match Specify film stock: "Portra 400 tones", "teal shadows"
Cluttered Cut elements — keep subject + 1 supporting element
No style Specify photographer reference
Weird pose Describe pose in detail

⚠️ Generation Gotchas

Orientation ↔ Pose

Pose Orientation Size
Standing/sitting/posed Portrait 768x1344
Lying/crawling/horizontal Landscape 1344x768

Camera angle ↔ Face Description (Pose-Face Matching)

Rule: Emphasize whatever is visible, don't mention what isn't visible — otherwise the image breaks

Camera angle / Pose Emphasize Don't include
Shot from behind body line, hair, back, outfit from behind Any kind of face description
Head down / face not clearly visible body shape, posture, legs, action face details, eye contact
Close-up of face Full face details full body, shoes
Body visible, face not visible outfit, body line, pose action Detailed face description
Side profile jawline, profile silhouette frontal face details (dimples, both eyes)

Check: "Does this angle show the face?" → No → cut the face out / "Does the prompt have a contradiction?" (e.g., head down + looking at camera)

📖 Details + examples: see styles/prompt-lessons.md → Lesson 2

Close-up Level ↔ Costume

  • Extreme close-up → face visible, but outfit/wings/weapons disappear
  • Medium close-up (head→waist) = sweet spot — shows both face + outfit
  • Can change pose/camera angle just like full body, just framed cut at the waist

Batch Gen & Character Consistency

  • Shell script + run_in_background: true / parallel
  • Set the character → keep the same costume elements in every prompt

Mode 2: Critique & Edit

GOAL → ANALYZE → PRESCRIBE

  1. Ask what the image will be used for
  2. ดู 6 มิติ (composition, color, lighting, focus, technical, story)
  3. Suggest + create an edit prompt

Example: ดู prompt-walkthroughs.md

🔥 Sexy/NSFW Story Integration

INTENT = sexy/sensual/NSFW → Turn on Spicy Story Mode from /spicy-mode

NARRATIVE Enhancement (Step 2)

When turned on → think of 4 more things:

1. Story Framework — there must be a situation (read /spicy-mode story-scenarios.md)

Replace Let it think
"sexy woman on bed" Just got back from where? Doing what? About to do what?
"girl in lingerie" For whom? Occasion? Where?

2. Tension Technique — Select 1

Technique Prompt example
Tease & Deny "oversized shirt slipping off one shoulder"
Forbidden "office, glass door slightly ajar"
Vulnerability "just woke up, eyes still sleepy, no makeup"
Power Exchange "looking down at camera from above"

3. Sensory Anchor — Select 1 to make it specific

Sense Example
Scent "steam from hot bath, lavender oil"
Light "neon sign casting pink glow through curtain"
Touch "wet hair dripping onto bare shoulders"

4. Inner Conflict → Expression

Conflict Prompt
Want + Shy "half-smile, looking away, hand on collarbone"
Brave + Vulnerable "direct eye contact but hugging knees"
Teasing + Don't care "casual lean, unbuttoned, reading phone"

Intensity Mapping

Level Prompt approach
1 Tease Clothed + suggestive gaze
2 Flirt Partial reveal, tension clothing
3 Intimate Significant skin, intimate framing
4 Spicy Full reveal, bold composition

Default: Level 2-3 / Visual techniques + before/after: ดู intimate-visual-techniques.md

Sexy REVIEW (added from Step 6)

□ STORY CHECK   — มี story? ไม่ใช่แค่ "sexy + pose"? → ❌ = rewrite
□ TENSION CHECK — มี tension technique? → ❌ = rewrite
□ VISUAL CHECK  — Fragmentation? Show/Imply? Lighting motivated?

"beautiful photo" Specify what makes it beautiful
"nice lighting" Name it: Rembrandt, golden hour
