1. Start from a skeleton, not a blank box
Open with your quality block and a one-line subject. A saved skeleton — quality, camera and your default style — means you’re never staring at an empty prompt.
2. Build in layers
- Subject: who or what, and the key action.
- Setting: place, time of day, weather.
- Style: medium, artist or era, mood.
- Detail & camera: lens, lighting, finish.
3. Weight, don’t pile on
If something isn’t showing up, weight it — (red kimono:1.2) — rather than repeating it three times. Pull back competing concepts with the negative prompt or a 0.8 weight.
4. Lock the seed to iterate
Found a composition you like? Fix the seed and change one thing at a time. Now you’re editing, not gambling.
5. Save what works
The recipe that produced a great image is worth more than the image. Save the prompt, model and settings as a reusable tab — and share it so others can remix it.
That last step is the whole point of Prompt Builder: turn a one-off win into a button you press forever.
