What it does
This prompt instructs an AI image editor to take an uploaded student portrait and recreate it as a classic, formal academic studio headshot while preserving the subject’s identity and natural features. It specifies a controlled yearbook-style setup—centered head-and-shoulders framing, neutral expression, soft even lighting, and a muted blue gradient backdrop—along with realistic formal attire (black suit, white shirt, black tie). The output is a single high-resolution, realistic “portrait poster” that includes a clean white margin beneath the photo with centered black serif typography displaying the student’s name in uppercase and a short quote below, with strict constraints against stylization, heavy retouching, casual elements, or distracting backgrounds.

Inputs
textInputs
Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.
| Variable key | Required? | Description | Defaults |

student_name |
Required | The full name of the student to be displayed under the portrait. | (none) |

| Index | Required | Description | Allowed CLI flags |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yes | Upload your portrait photo | --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:
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:
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:
student_namestudent_quote
- Required images:
- Exactly 1 images: image 1 (Upload your portrait photo). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gemini-3-pro-image-previewand its available options. Look upgemini-3-pro-image-previewin thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"image") and show itsavailableOptionsas:key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value(default)if it matches these defaults:{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
gemini-3-pro-image-preview, options{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
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 (Upload your portrait photo)".
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use academic-student-portrait-poster).
Command form:
betterprompt generate academic-student-portrait-poster \
[--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-urlor--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
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:gemini-3-pro-image-preview. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
betterprompt generate academic-student-portrait-poster \
--input student_name=<value> \
--input student_quote=<value> \
--image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
--model gemini-3-pro-image-preview \
--options '{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}'
