# Above The Clouds

> This prompt instructs the AI to produce a high-resolution, luxury editorial-style surreal product showcase by keeping the uploaded product image completely unchanged while replacing only the surrounding scene with a dreamy pastel sky and soft, cinematic clouds. The product is centered and appears to float above marshmallow-like clouds, with gentle atmospheric accents (e.g., subtle glow, sparkles, mist, soft sun rays) and lighting that matches the product’s original direction for seamless integration. The intended result is an elegant dreamscape background that elevates the product’s presence without altering, cropping, recoloring, or obscuring any part of the original product image.

## What it does

This prompt instructs the AI to produce a high-resolution, luxury editorial-style surreal product showcase by keeping the uploaded product image completely unchanged while replacing only the surrounding scene with a dreamy pastel sky and soft, cinematic clouds. The product is centered and appears to float above marshmallow-like clouds, with gentle atmospheric accents (e.g., subtle glow, sparkles, mist, soft sun rays) and lighting that matches the product’s original direction for seamless integration. The intended result is an elegant dreamscape background that elevates the product’s presence without altering, cropping, recoloring, or obscuring any part of the original product image.

## Inputs


### textInputs

Pass each text input using `--input <key>=<value>` flags.

| Variable key | Required? | Description | Defaults |
| --- | ---: | --- | --- |
| `tone_of_the_background_sky_and_clouds` | Required |  | (none) |



### imageInputs

This prompt requires **exactly 1 image**. You **must pass exactly 1 image flag** (no more, no fewer), in the order matching the descriptions below.

| Index | Required | Description | Allowed CLI flags |
| ---: | ---: | --- | --- |
| 1 | Yes | your product | `--image-input-url <url>` or `--image-input-path <path>` |


### Models and options

This skill's modality is: **`image`**.

To discover which `model` values you can use (and which `options` keys/values are valid for each model), run:

```bash
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
```

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where `modality` is `"image"`.

## How to run

### Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run `betterprompt resources --models-only --json` and filter to `modality: "image"` to discover valid models and available options:

```bash
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
```

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:


- Required text inputs:
    - `tone_of_the_background_sky_and_clouds`
- Required images:
  - **Exactly 1** images: image 1 (your product). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
  - Present the human with the default model **`gpt-image-1`** and its available options. Look up `gpt-image-1` in the `betterprompt resources` output (filtered to modality `"image"`) and show its `availableOptions` as: `key: val1, val2 (default), val3  |  key2: ...`. Mark a value `(default)` if it matches these defaults: `{"quality":"medium"}`.
  - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model `gpt-image-1`, options `{"quality":"medium"}`. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If any required text input or the required images are missing, **ask the human for what's missing**. Do not assume or fabricate values. Tell the human: **"Please provide images in this order: image 1 (your product)"**.

### Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's `name` as the positional argument (for this skill, use `above-the-clouds`).

Command form:

```bash
betterprompt generate above-the-clouds \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--image-input-url <url>] \
  [--image-input-path <path>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]
```

Notes:

- Pass each text input as a separate `--input <key>=<value>` flag.
- Pass each image using `--image-input-url` or `--image-input-path`, in the order matching the imageInputs descriptions (image 1 first, then image 2, etc.).
- If the human does **not** mention a model, **omit** `--model` and BetterPrompt will use the default model: **`gpt-image-1`**.
- If the human does **not** mention options, **omit** `--options` and BetterPrompt will use the default options: **`{"quality":"medium"}`**.
- If the run times out, the response will include a `runId` you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

```bash
betterprompt generate above-the-clouds \
  --input tone_of_the_background_sky_and_clouds=<value> \
  --image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
  --model gpt-image-1 \
  --options '{"quality":"medium"}'
```
