Guides ERNIE Image prompt writing with reference-backed structure and examples, when generating posters, portraits, infographics, comics, or bilingual text layouts, resulting in clearer prompts and more predictable image outputs.

ernie-image

Overview

This is a reference + guidance skill for ERNIE Image prompt engineering.

Use it to turn vague ideas into structured prompts using:

  • the ERNIE Image guide (https://ernieimage.ai/blog/ernie-image-prompt-engineering-guide)
  • local paired prompt+image references in references/example-prompts/

If output quality is unstable, fix prompt structure first before changing model settings.

When to Use

Use this skill when you need:

  • photoreal portraits with controlled lighting and composition
  • infographic/poster/comic layouts with readable text
  • bilingual text rendering (Chinese + English)
  • consistent style transfer across multiple generations
  • systematic prompt iteration instead of random retries

Avoid this skill when the request is only model deployment/infrastructure (no prompting work).

Prompt Blueprint (Default)

Write prompts in this order:

  1. Subject — who/what is primary
  2. Details — pose, attributes, environment, spatial relationships
  3. Style/Medium — photo, vector, watercolor, manga, storyboard, etc.
  4. Technical intent — aspect ratio, resolution intent, sharpness/detail targets
  5. Text constraints (if needed) — exact quoted text and placement

Minimal Template

[Subject], [specific visual details and scene], [style/medium], [lighting + mood], [layout/composition], [quoted on-image text + placement], [aspect ratio/resolution intent].

Prompt Enhancer Guidance

From ERNIE guidance:

  • Enable enhancer when the prompt is short or exploratory.
  • Disable enhancer when you already wrote a precise long prompt and need exact control.

Practical rule:

  • Drafting: enhancer on
  • Final lock: enhancer off

Layout & Text Rules

For posters/infographics/comics/sticker sheets:

  • Specify grid explicitly (3x5, 4x6, three stacked panels, etc.)
  • Name reading order (left-to-right, top-to-bottom)
  • Quote each required text string exactly
  • Keep each text element short when possible
  • State typography style (e.g., pixel font, retro serif, handwritten Chinese)

Example-Driven Patterns (Local References)

Use these files as canonical patterns:

  • references/example-prompts/casual-street-photo.md + .png → photoreal portrait with concrete identity/background cues
  • references/example-prompts/flowchart.md + .png → dense structured diagram with many labeled nodes
  • references/example-prompts/16bit-pixelart-info-poster.md + .png → strict grid + repeated labeled entities
  • references/example-prompts/line-chat-sticker-sheet.md + .png → multi-cell character consistency + per-cell text
  • references/example-prompts/echo-city-horizon.md + .png → slide/poster composition with heading/subheading/body hierarchy
  • references/example-prompts/isometric-illustration.md + .png → isometric architectural detail and prop inventory
  • references/example-prompts/professional-interior-design-photograph.md + .png → premium interior photography art direction
  • references/example-prompts/storyboard-sketch.md + .png → multi-frame cinematic storyboard continuity

Failure Patterns (Fix Fast)

  • Vague subject (“a nice scene”) → replace with concrete subject nouns and attributes.
  • Contradictory styles (“photoreal watercolor 3D anime”) → pick one primary style + one secondary influence.
  • Missing spatial logic (“objects arranged nicely”) → give count, order, and placement.
  • Missing aspect ratio intent → specify portrait/landscape/square and purpose.
  • Long unstructured prompt blob → rewrite using the blueprint order.

Iteration Workflow

  1. Write v1 prompt using the blueprint.
  2. Generate draft.
  3. Compare against a matching local reference pair.
  4. Patch only failed dimensions (subject, style, text, layout, lighting).
  5. Re-run with enhancer state chosen intentionally (on for exploration, off for precision).

Quick Copy Templates

Portrait

A [age]-year-old [subject] with [distinct features], wearing [clothing], [pose/expression], in [location], [time-of-day lighting direction/quality], [camera/lens style], [mood], [aspect ratio].

Poster / Infographic

A [style] poster about [topic], layout [grid/section structure], title "[TITLE]" at [position], section text "[...]" at [position], [color palette], [icon/illustration style], clear hierarchy, [aspect ratio].

Sticker Sheet / Multi-cell Character

A [rows]x[columns] sticker sheet, same character identity across all cells: [identity anchors]. Each cell has unique pose/emotion/action and quoted label text. Keep headwear/outfit proportions consistent. White background, clean cell separation, [aspect ratio].

Storyboard

A vertical storyboard page with [N] stacked frames, same scene continuity: frame 1 [wide establishing], frame 2 [mid progression], frame 3 [low/close action], handwritten scene labels, [drawing medium/style], [paper texture], [lighting logic].
