What it does
This prompt instructs an image model to use the user’s provided face photo without altering their identity and generate a photorealistic, polaroid-framed “Stranger Things” cast-style portrait of three people standing shoulder-to-shoulder: a specified character on the left, the user centered with a relaxed smile, and a specified character on the right, with both characters’ arms casually placed behind the user, set against a simple retro white-curtain backdrop with warm 1980s film lighting and strict constraints to avoid stylization, extra subjects, or background changes.

Inputs
textInputs
Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.
| Variable key | Required? | Description | Defaults |
|---|---|---|---|
character_A |
Required | Put your first favourite character here | (none) |
character_B |
Required | Put your second favourite character here | (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 | Your photo | --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:
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:
character_Acharacter_B
- Required images:
- Exactly 1 images: image 1 (Your photo). Images must be provided in this order.
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gemini-3-pro-image-previewand its available options. Look upgemini-3-pro-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:{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
gemini-3-pro-image-preview, options{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}. 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 (Your photo)".
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use stranger-things-polaroid-you-and-two-characters).
Command form:
betterprompt generate stranger-things-polaroid-you-and-two-characters \
[--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:gemini-3-pro-image-preview. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}. - 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 stranger-things-polaroid-you-and-two-characters \
--input character_A=<value> \
--input character_B=<value> \
--image-input-url https://example.com/image1.png \
--model gemini-3-pro-image-preview \
--options '{"aspectRatio":"3:4","resolution":"1K"}'
