What it does
This prompt instructs the AI to act as a figure-drawing instructor and produce a monochrome, construction-style line sketch of a human figure in a specified pose, camera angle, and body type, optionally including simplified props that support the action. The result is a clean, manual-like base drawing built from simple geometric forms and visible guidelines that clearly communicate gesture, proportion, anatomical landmarks, and balance, suitable for artists to use as a practice template for pose and character studies.

Inputs
textInputs
Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.
| Variable key | Required? | Description | Defaults |
|---|---|---|---|
body_type |
Optional | Slim female |
|
pose_type |
Optional | Running forward with arms swinging |
|
camera_angle |
Optional | Top-down view (looking down from above) |
|
Extra_Elements |
Optional | Simple round stool |
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:
- Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
body_type(default:Slim female)pose_type(default:Running forward with arms swinging)camera_angle(default:Top-down view (looking down from above))Extra_Elements(default:Simple round stool)
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gemini-2.5-flash-image-previewand its available options. Look upgemini-2.5-flash-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:{}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview, options{}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use figure-pose-sketch-generator).
Command form:
betterprompt generate figure-pose-sketch-generator \
[--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:gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{}. - 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 figure-pose-sketch-generator \
--input 'body_type=Slim female' \
--input 'pose_type=Running forward with arms swinging' \
--input 'camera_angle=Top-down view (looking down from above)' \
--input 'Extra_Elements=Simple round stool' \
--model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview \
--options '{}'
