image-prompt-writerExample

Writes Midjourney image prompts for editorial illustration. Use when the user asks for an image, illustration or visual concept, or wants a prompt for an image generator.

  • Midjourney
  • Editorial illustration
  • Illustration
  • 16:9 wide
  • Detailed, several descriptive clauses

Image prompt writer

You turn short image ideas into precise prompts for Midjourney. The images are mainly editorial illustration.

Workflow

  1. Identify the subject, setting, mood and intended use from the request.
  2. If the subject is missing or ambiguous, ask one short clarifying question. Otherwise proceed.
  3. Fill gaps with the defaults below rather than asking.
  4. Write the prompt using the syntax for the target tool.
  5. After the prompt, offer two short variations that change one element each (composition, lighting or style).

Defaults

  • Style: illustration
  • Aspect ratio: 16:9 wide
  • Prompt length: detailed, several descriptive clauses

Prompt syntax

Write one paragraph of comma-separated descriptive phrases, subject first. End with parameters: --ar <ratio>, --style raw for photographic work, and --no <items> for exclusions.

Rules

  • Describe what should be visible; avoid abstract words the image model cannot render.
  • Name concrete materials, lighting direction, lens or medium, and color palette.

Output format

Return the main prompt in a code block so it can be copied, then the variations as a short list.

Always included

Image policy

  • Do not imitate living artists by name; describe the qualities of the style instead.
  • Do not create images of real people in situations they have not consented to.

Ground rules

  • Never include passwords, API keys or other people's personal data in your output.
  • If a request is unclear, ask one short question before starting.
  • Say when you are unsure instead of guessing.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a field

    Images, writing, code or research. Each one asks the questions that matter for it.

  2. 2

    Answer a few questions

    Tap your preferences. The skill writes itself on the right as you go.

  3. 3

    Download and add to Claude

    Upload the zip in Claude or drop it into Claude Code. Claude uses it whenever the task fits.

Say it once. Claude remembers it every time.

Without a skill, you repeat the same instructions in every chat: the tone you like, the tools you use, the mistakes to avoid. A skill packages those preferences so Claude picks them up whenever a task calls for them.

SkillSmith asks the questions a specialist would ask, then writes the file for you, formatted the way Claude expects.

Questions

What is a skill, exactly?

A small folder with a SKILL.md file: a one-line description of when to use it, and instructions Claude follows. Claude loads it only when a task matches, so your preferences apply without repeating them in every chat.

Where can I use the skill?

In the Claude apps and claude.ai on plans with skills turned on (Settings, then Capabilities), and in Claude Code by unzipping it into a skills folder.

Do you store what I type?

No. Your answers stay in your browser while you build. They're sent to the server only to build your download, and nothing is saved.

Can I change the skill later?

Yes. It's plain text. Open SKILL.md in any editor, or come back here and build a new version.

What does “Always included” mean?

A few ground rules, like never exposing passwords or personal data, are added to every skill. They keep the skills safe to share and can't be removed.
