What it does
This prompt instructs the AI to examine an input image and generate a concise, vivid, and neutral accessibility-focused description of a user-specified subject, covering visible elements such as colors, composition, objects, actions, and overall mood while avoiding opinions, copyrighted content creation, and unsupported inferences; if details are unclear, it explicitly requires the AI to note uncertainty.

Inputs
textInputs
Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.
| Variable key | Required? | Description | Defaults |
|---|---|---|---|
what_do_you_want_to_describe |
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 | Image to describe | --image-input-url <url> or --image-input-path <path> |
Models and options
This skill's modality is: text.
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 "text".
How to run
Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" 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:
what_do_you_want_to_describe
- Required images:
- Exactly 1 images: image 1 (Image to describe). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gpt-5-nanoand its available options. Look upgpt-5-nanoin thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"text") 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
gpt-5-nano, options{}. 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 (Image to describe)".
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use focus-describe).
Command form:
betterprompt generate focus-describe \
[--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:gpt-5-nano. - 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 focus-describe \
--input what_do_you_want_to_describe=<value> \
--image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
--model gpt-5-nano \
--options '{}'
