Sketch Prompt Lab

Overview

Guide prompt iteration for friendly, realistic outputs while keeping the child’s intent and avoiding unsafe themes.

Workflow

1) Start with a preset

Pick the closest preset from references/prompt-recipes.md and keep the safety language intact.

2) Adjust one dimension at a time

• Realism: “storybook-realistic” → “more realistic textures and lighting.”
• Color: “bright cheerful colors” → “soft pastel colors.”
• Background: “simple background” → “cozy bedroom or park.”

3) Avoid overfitting to the original

If the output matches the sketch too closely, add:

• “Use the sketch as inspiration, but create a new, finished illustration.”
• “Refine shapes and add realistic textures.”

4) Enforce guardrails

• Keep “friendly, safe, no weapons.”
• Keep prompts under the configured length limits.
