# Monochrome Quad Grid With Exact Face And Uniform Outfit

> This prompt directs an image generation workflow to take a single uploaded portrait and produce a high‑resolution 2×2 black‑and‑white grid of portraits where the subject’s face and expression remain exactly identical to the reference and the outfit stays unchanged across all panels. It specifies controlled, subtle variation only through upper‑body posing and cropping, enforces consistent lighting, grain, and a soft gradient background, and includes strict validation rules to reject any outputs that introduce identity drift, wardrobe changes, color, text, extra people, or other deviations, resulting in a production‑ready collage plus matching individual panel exports.

## What it does

This prompt directs an image generation workflow to take a single uploaded portrait and produce a high‑resolution 2×2 black‑and‑white grid of portraits where the subject’s face and expression remain exactly identical to the reference and the outfit stays unchanged across all panels. It specifies controlled, subtle variation only through upper‑body posing and cropping, enforces consistent lighting, grain, and a soft gradient background, and includes strict validation rules to reject any outputs that introduce identity drift, wardrobe changes, color, text, extra people, or other deviations, resulting in a production‑ready collage plus matching individual panel exports.

## 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 | a photo of you | `--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:

```bash
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:

```bash
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 (a photo of you). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
  - Present the human with the default model **`gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview`** and its available options. Look up `gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview` in the `betterprompt resources` output (filtered to modality `"image"`) and show its `availableOptions` as: `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.

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 (a photo of you)"**.

### Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's `name` as the positional argument (for this skill, use `monochrome-quad-grid-with-exact-face-and-uniform-outfit`).

Command form:

```bash
betterprompt generate monochrome-quad-grid-with-exact-face-and-uniform-outfit \
  [--image-input-url <url>] \
  [--image-input-path <path>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]
```

Notes:

- Pass each image using `--image-input-url` or `--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** `--model` and BetterPrompt will use the default model: **`gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview`**.
- If the human does **not** mention options, **omit** `--options` and BetterPrompt will use the default options: **`{}`**.
- If the run times out, the response will include a `runId` you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

```bash
betterprompt generate monochrome-quad-grid-with-exact-face-and-uniform-outfit \
  --image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
  --model gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview \
  --options '{}'
```
