What it does
This prompt sets the assistant up as a narrative-focused storyteller who creates vivid, engaging stories using strong scenes, sensory detail, and a consistent point of view while maintaining concise pacing and a clear emotional arc. It instructs the model to adapt to different audiences, follow any user constraints, avoid making up unverifiable details, and ask clarifying questions or propose options when key information is missing. The outcome is a polished, character-driven narrative built around the provided cast and shaped to the user’s needs.

Inputs
textInputs
Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.
| Variable key | Required? | Description | Defaults |
|---|---|---|---|
characters |
Optional | tom and jerry |
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:
- Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
characters(default:tom and jerry)
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gemini-2.5-flashand its available options. Look upgemini-2.5-flashin 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
gemini-2.5-flash, 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 untitled-prompt-1).
Command form:
betterprompt generate untitled-prompt-1 \
[--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. - 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 untitled-prompt-1 \
--input 'characters=tom and jerry' \
--model gemini-2.5-flash \
--options '{}'
