What it does
This prompt instructs an AI image generator to produce a polished, high-quality anime character illustration by filling in the character description, art style, pose, and mood variables, then applying specific visual constraints such as clean line work, expressive facial detail, appropriate proportions, cohesive composition, subtle complementary background, and mood-matched lighting and color, resulting in a vibrant, ready-to-use character artwork without any text or watermarks.

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:
moodposestyle
- Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
description(default:A young warrior with silver hair and blue eyes, wearing a dark cloak over light armor)
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gpt-image-1and its available options. Look upgpt-image-1in thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"image") and show itsavailableOptionsas:key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value(default)if it matches these defaults:{"size":"1024x1024","quality":"low"}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
gpt-image-1, options{"size":"1024x1024","quality":"low"}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
If any required text input is missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values.
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use anime-character-generator-1).
Command form:
betterprompt generate anime-character-generator-1 \
[--input <key>=<value>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- Pass each text input as a separate
--input <key>=<value>flag. - If the human does not mention a model, omit
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:gpt-image-1. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{"size":"1024x1024","quality":"low"}. - 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 anime-character-generator-1 \
--input mood=fierce \
--input pose=action \
--input style=chibi \
--input 'description=A young warrior with silver hair and blue eyes, wearing a dark cloak over light armor' \
--model gpt-image-1 \
--options '{"size":"1024x1024","quality":"low"}'
