Prompt Rescue — rebuild an overloaded prompt in four passes
An official model-agnostic diagnostic workflow. Save the original recipe, reduce it to subject and composition, restore light and camera, then add style last. Publish only real before/after results and record every setting needed to reproduce them.
Shared by Prompt Builder on Prompt Builder.
- Positive prompt
- clear subject, one action, one setting, intentional composition, coherent lighting, specific camera or framing, one compatible visual style
- Negative prompt
- only observed failure modes; remove generic negatives that do not change the result
Workflow stages
Freeze the original
Save prompt, negative, checkpoint, seed, sampler, steps, CFG, and dimensions.
Reduce
Keep only subject, action, setting, and composition. Generate with the original seed.
Restore controls
Add light and camera. Keep any clause only when it improves the stated goal.
Style last
Add one compatible style phrase, compare, and publish the exact before/after recipe.
