# Gemini Omni Prompt Architect > Guides development, structured formatting, and iterative refinement of multimodal prompts for the Gemini Omni world model. Use this skill when a user requires composition or modifications of video, text rendering, multi-input syncing, camera direction, or style morphing. - Skill: `jggomez/gemini-omni-prompt-architect` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add jggomez/gemini-omni-prompt-architect` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/jggomez/gemini-omni-prompt-architect/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: AI & ML - Author: jggomez (https://skillmd.com/u/jggomez) - Updated: 2026-09-22 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/jggomez/gemini-omni-prompt-architect --- # Gemini Omni Prompt Architect ## Procedural Instructions ### 1. Core Mindset Shift: World Knowledge vs. Micromanagement - Gemini Omni possesses deeply embedded physical reasoning and world understanding. - **Rule:** Do not over-explain natural physical behaviors or stack excessive generic adjectives. Focus on the core macro intent, style rules, and structural boundaries; let the model execute the micro-details organically. ### 2. Single Scene Framing & Negative Prompting - By default, Omni Flash attempts to create a video with multiple cuts to craft a narrative. - To enforce a **single scene** without edits, explicitly use one of these phrases: - `"In a single unbroken scene"` - `"In a single continuous shot"` - `"No scene cuts"` - To remove unwanted elements or behaviors, use explicit negative constraints: - `"No dialogue"` - `"No embellishments"` - `"No extra sound effects"` ### 3. Primary 6-Dimension Structural Framework When building a prompt from scratch, coordinate these 6 vectors: 1. **Shot Framing & Motion:** Camera type ("film camera", "smartphone zoom"), viewpoints ("over-the-shoulder"), and motion ("dolly zoom", "static locked-off", "one continuous unbroken handheld shot"). 2. **Style Aesthetics:** Visual medium boundaries ("claymation with rough surfaces", "anime with bold outlines", "watercolour with bleeding edges", "risograph print with grainy halftone textures"). 3. **Lighting & Volumetrics:** Illumination origins ("sunset volumetric golden shafts", "off-screen neon glow reflected on wet pavement"). 4. **Location & Environment:** Background settings ("minimalist white studio", "dense cyberpunk alleyway at midnight"). 5. **Action & Complex Interactions:** Choreography and dynamics ("skateboarder executes kickflip at peak arc", "petals spiral outward"). 6. **Text & Typographic Rendering:** Typeface placement, animation, and readable text ("street sign that says: 'This is an AI generation by Omni'", "one word on the screen at a time: 'did, you, know...?' where each word appears for 1s with a different animated style. No dialogue."). ### 4. Conversational Editing & Simplify Patterns (CRITICAL for turn >= 2) - **The Preservational Guardrail:** Keep edit prompts simple. Overly descriptive requests lead to unintended changes. Always anchor unchanged variables: - Append `"Keep everything else the same"` or `"Keep everything else identical"`. - **Simplification Examples:** - *Avoid:* "In the video of the man sitting on the sofa, please add a small black cat that runs from the right, jumps onto his lap..." - *Use:* `"Add a cat that jumps onto his lap, he begins to pet it. Keep everything else the same."` - *Avoid:* "Please remove the cell phone that the person is holding in their hand and fill in the background..." - *Use:* `"Make the phone invisible. Keep everything else the same."` ### 5. Audio Prompting Describe the custom soundtrack and mood explicitly, especially if music is desired: - `"Include calm background music"` - `"The video has a high energy techno beat"` - `"The audio is a low tinny radio broadcast in the background, playing a song"` ### 6. Timing Events (Natural and Timecode Syntax) You can direct events to trigger at exact durations: - **Natural syntax:** - `"After 3 seconds, a woman enters the scene."` - `"At 5s the chorus starts in the background audio."` - `"Every 2s cut to a new frame."` - `"In a rapid fire sequence, every half a second (12 frames at 24fps) change the scene to a new location."` - **Timecode syntax:** - `[0-3s] A person is walking` - `[3-6s] They stop and turn around` - `[6-10s] They start running` ### 7. Meta Prompting Direct general quality standards for complex scenes: - `"Consider micro-detail, expression and timing to create a very rich, detailed but entirely natural scene."` - `"Be extremely detailed in your descriptions of characters and environments. Apply costume design principles to characters."` - `"Include plenty of appropriate detail in the background elements to make the scene feel realistic."` ### 8. Multimodal Tags for Image Roles When handling uploaded images, use tags to declare their roles: 1. **Simple Tags (Recommended):** - ``: Anchor image as starting frame. (e.g. ` a woman is walking`) - ``: Reference style/character starting from 0. (e.g. `in the style of a woman is walking`) 2. **Explicit Declarations:** - Format: `[# Sources @Image1] [# References @Image2] a woman is walking.` - Guiding instruction suffix: Use `"Use Image1 as the starting frame."` for starting frames, and `"Use Image2 as a reference for the video generation. The images should not be used as literal initial frames."` for reference images. --- ## Technical Constraints & Guardrails - **The 4-Turn Drift Threshold:** Consistency decays after Turn 4. Warn developers at Turn 3. - **SynthID Watermarking:** Generated/edited videos carry non-removable SynthID watermarking and C2PA metadata. --- ## Structural Examples ### Example 1: Image-to-Video Anchor with Style Reference ```text [# Sources @Image1] [# References @Image2] A continuous, unbroken handheld shot of a woman walking down a busy street in the style of . Use Image1 as the starting frame. Use Image2 as a reference for video generation. Keep everything else the same. No dialogue. ```
