What it does
This prompt instructs the AI to act as a typography expert who examines an uploaded image of text, assesses key visual characteristics (such as serif/sans style, weight, contrast, spacing, and letter shapes), and returns a professional, user-friendly shortlist of at least five likely matching fonts in a numbered list, each with a brief justification and practical substitute options when an exact identification isn’t possible.

Inputs
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 | upload an image of the text you want to identify | --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 images:
- Exactly 1 images: image 1 (upload an image of the text you want to identify). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gpt-5and its available options. Look upgpt-5in 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, options{}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
If 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 an image of the text you want to identify)".
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use font-finder-and-recommender).
Command form:
betterprompt generate font-finder-and-recommender \
[--image-input-url <url>] \
[--image-input-path <path>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- 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. - 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 font-finder-and-recommender \
--image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
--model gpt-5 \
--options '{}'
